Poor man's watch thread

Wow what a trainwreck, but I can't look away from this disaster of a dial

But now I understand why he wouldn't like the elegant under $400 Orient Star I was proposing.

What sort of tosser would wear a watch that says
FLEET ADMIRAL
*****

....unless they were actually a five-star admiral, in which case your uniform would be a bit of a giveaway anyway?

The sun moon is a damn huge watch. It's hella thick and actually costs more than the $375 ones on its left.

The 5 star thing is new on this version, I don't care for that either and don't know why they added it. It's too much for me anyway so I'll stick with the Orient.

The Orient Stars are more elegant and cleaner than the Sun and Moon but at $230 I like the Sun and Moon V3. If I need something thin and really clean I'll wear one of my quartz models (some of my french cuffs barely allow a watch at all).

Well I am impressed. A Kickstarter el cheapo watch that's way better than a $1200 Seiko inside out for $360. The Hirsch Capitano waterproof genuine croc costed more than the watch lol. Check out the sharp polishing and domed sapphire. Alas there is only one problem: It's too freakin huge for my wrist!

Cheers. That's the Kickstarter page for pre-orders. Are they not just selling these for immediate delivery yet? Or are they obligated to only sell through Kickstarter since they funded the project that way?

For this one I'm not sure. I know Mileneal sells to the public once the KS completed successfully. But seriously man this Behrens guys knew what they're doing. From the indices to the back everything's well done. Expensive looking brush finishing. Like a Glashutte Original at a glance.
