Poor man's watch thread

[Jazzmenco]

I want this one so bad, but only for sale in Japan apparently

What is the model number?

SZSB006 I believe

I’m sure Seiko will be releasing something similar for the international market but with a worse movement and with PRESAGE written on it in 48pt type. And a $680 price tag.

Got this SKX013 a few weeks ago, first watch I've owned in many years

Isn't that over the PMW threshold?

Yes indeed, the original cost was around $500 but they only made a limited amount so the law of supply and demand took over. I was tempted for about half a minute but then common sense kicked in.?

Autodromo Prototipo

^ I really like those Autodromo watches. I got to handle a friend’s at a local RedBar gathering last year and was really impressed. They aren’t my typical style but after seeing one in the flesh, I may be more easily convinced to grab one some day.



Cheap-o quartz Divex Professional 200 for me today. This one was made specifically for the Seven Kestrel, a dive ship that operates in the North Sea.

Yeah man, I'm really happy with the Autodromo. It's definitely one of my favorite watches. The design, quality, and look of the watch is above what you'd expect for the price range. I also like the 'Group B' watches a lot.

Looks like it’s using the same movement as my Belmoto Track Day which is a nice looking watch for the $350 or so that I paid for it. A sub company of Maigret. Mine has an inner rehault that can be moved via a crown at ten o clock to use a different time zone. I really dislike the pointless 24 hour subdial as it’s almost too small to see and it can’t be set separately from the main time so I don’t understand what purpose it serves.
