Take a close up of a watch on your wrist. How's it look?

(FYI, this site ships stuff fairly sporadically. I've always received my order but sometimes it takes a few months.)

black: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/militar...-sr626sw-80346

You can't beat a $10 watch. If you buy 3 it looks like they only charge $8 each.

Edit- Shipping is free too.

I will buy 3 as small gifts for my nephews.
Thanks for the link

Haven't seen these Skagen's before, pretty low MSRP too. I bet these can be found for under $100 fairly easily.

Thanks! I think I might get the first one, and switch out the strap.

A couple of months ago, I bought a beat up Seamaster from another SF member, had the watchmaker sink about $225 of work into it and here is the result:

Pretty happy with how it turned out.

^ Excellent. Good job.

Is it an automatic?
