Poor man's watch thread

[jtorres94]

So I really liked the Longines Moonphase but found a really good deal on this other option that I couldn’t pass up.

Yes, you can call it a wanna-be Royal Oak but this is a Poor Man’s Watch Thread for a reason.

I’ll definitely get that Moonphase, eventually.

Here's a very nice dress watch at a poor man's price. I upgraded the strap.

Did you buy it new?

Did you buy it new?

Used but was only purchased in February and looks to have barely been worn if at all.

That's the smart way to do it. Just like a new car drops in value the minute you drive it off the lot.

A Maurice Lacroix Aikon with the black dial. Really happy with it.

Interesting one. Oddly enough, it somewhat reminds me of the Tudor Royal, even though they're not exactly that similar.

I ended up buying this one over the weekend. I almost committed to buying this at an AD, but I'm glad I bought this used. The one at the AD had the lume pip at the 3 o'clock, and I just couldn't unsee the asymmetry.

Absolutely love it.

Funny how some watches are hard to photograph while others cooperate quite nicely. This one is very photogenic.

I'm really enjoying the Oris BCPD. Very glad I got it.

Cloudy overcast day so I was finally able to get a good shot of my Hamilton.
