Poor man's watch thread

Yesterday and today.

I'm a sucker for a Seiko. I crafted a custom leather strap for my Seiko 5 Auto and it really transformed it.

Took my BB58 on a trip to test it.

has anyone brought up a seiko 5 yet?
I've heard you can pick them up for peanuts

Audaz yesterday, excellent value. I picked up another Revue Thommen. I love the design and the color. Also a very good value. Don't miss the date window at all.

Over 100 degrees today. We took our walk early.

@Jazzmenco - That Revue Thommen is gorgeous. The color looks great. It sort of reminds me of the yellow Citizen NJ0150, which has sort of a brownish tint to it in some photos I've seen.

Can someone explain to me the hate for Invicta?

I ask as I've read; they get a lot of flak.

I saw some cheap automatic Invicta watches online, but the low price points make me cautious.

When I first got into automatic watches I purchased quite a few. After a while my taste and spending evolved and I "outgrew" them. They're almost impossible to sell, gave most of them away. I have one left. I never had problems with them and they actually felt pretty solid for the money. Lot of the hate is that they are a pretty shameless copy of Rolex's and as you probably noticed there are thousands of models, most of them hideous.

One of my favorite divers. Actually has a Swiss movement.

Wondering if the new Seiko 5 GMT works with Skx parts. I'll get a more accurate GMT Master II.
