Poor man's watch thread

Recent ebay steal. Incredible condition for a 48 year old watch. Just replaced the mismatched metal band and crystal. Off by +7 sec the past 2 days. 3.5 sec per day is pretty great.

I'd never heard of these guys - but I just love the cream dial version of this watch. What do they use for a movement?

SW200-1. It's all in the dial. The colors just make certain moods and make nice fashion accessories. Come to think of it nowadays I buy watches that influences my mood.

Enamel dials, Scottish brand, nice guy. Not crazy about the hands though.

My outlook is similar - I am way more about elements of design - case and dial particularly - than I am concerned with the movement. So long as it is something reliable and serviceable, I am content. The dials on these are stunning.

Well if you get tired of that crappy cream dial version and want to sell it for a song, I'm your huckleberry.
