Poor man's watch thread

[Genericuser1]

This is the only watch I have on a Bund strap but I don't think I'd wear it on anything else even though a number of other straps would work with the fixed lug bars. This is a WWI inspired trench watch so the Bund is just appropriate IMO.

There is always the shrapnel protector if I decide to be more authentic.

Big fan of the watch and the strap. Don't see too many bund straps around.

Indeed. I love a nice bund strap.

So $5,000 for this

Or $109 for this:

Alright.

Shows some real love for G-Shock




I think I'd lean towards something else from a Japanese manufacturer myself.

And I could still buy the $109 G-Shock

Agree the $109 G-Shock is great:

I've had a few G-Shocks over the years (and still have the one below) and I've always loved the square Gs. My only complaint with them, no matter the version, is that the pushers are just too small for my big fat sausage fingers.

Agreed. My fingers aren't even that sausagey, and they're difficult to push. The problem is they're nearly flush with the side of the watch.

I generally think bund straps are hideous but this is an awesome ok looking combination!

Fixed.

Seiko Recraft great bang for your poor man's watch budget.

As I commented previously, I found the pushers on the high end titanium models are easier to push, as they sit out more. A picture comparison of the profile of the pushers on the M5610 vs MRG:

Timex mechanical field watch. This thing is fantastic.
