I wanna get in on this!

Got this from Mark in 2009 for nothing (buy two watches, get third one free).
Keeps perfect time and looks great

My favourite cheapies:

U-Boat U-42 (around $140)


Omega Ploprof V1.5 (around $150)-now sold


Sead's PAM 026 ($129)-also sold


Seiko SKX007


I strongly disagree with term "you get what you pay for" if you pick your cheapies carefully, all above are great watches for the money and would probably pay almost twice as that for any of them. Another to add one day is mini Egi shown few times before.

This is the kind of thread that will cost me more money. Great one! That Pam 026 is nice!

Very happy with my sub $130 reps, they are reliable and worth every cent (unlike some $350 $450 and $500 reps You have to put another $300 - $500 in to have them up to spec)

3 top-budget-ones from Sead

Mini-Egyptian, a homage to the 1956 favourite of the Egyptian Navy with a legendary Angelus SF240 movement

My favourite dresswatch, an IWC Fa. Jones with a beautifully decorated 6497 handwound movement, 11mm thin

IWC_0119c_1024_zps65bd3029.jpg

Another all-time favourite of mine, a vintage Cartel 5513, fine for modding and wears fantastically, it´s got tells but who outside the forum rolex-section knows?

And a quart JLC-Squadra reverse from Intime - the reverse works flawlessly and is fun (next to a 21j Patek from m2m)
