Best under $100 non-quartz reps?

[so1id]

I can't justify wearing a watch everyday that's over $100. Can you guys give me suggestions on the best reps that are under this price but with no quartz movements?

Check out Silix in the budget section. Normally has some Rolex and Omega watches in the <$70 range on special.

Also check Timeshops RWI special prices. Usually some good deals on 21j rolexes there.

Cool, thanks guys. But are there any other watches besides Rollies or Omegas that are pretty cheap? I know Toro has a PAM 024 for $79 but I want more! lol

 

[Bonesey]

Sure, there are lots of sub $100 watches. Like I said, Silix or timeshops, toro's beginner PAM's, or lots of the WatchEden stuff is in budget.

The orange Omego PO Silix Special has recieved raving reviews for a $29 watch.

well mate there is a lot, but important is not getting a cheap asian movement,
me p[ersonally try to get those cheaper with seagull or mingzhou mov which are good
for instance im selling iwc for 99
or ceramic incert sub for 89 super quality

I think if you want a good mechanical watch for less than a 100 bones get a seiko. cheap but great quality

There are many under $100, however could you help us help you by giving us an idea of what brands you like at least?

 

[thedoover]

Timeshop has a bunch under $100 as does Silix. Dont limit yourself to Silix's bargains - the economy section has tons of watches too - over 1000 and most are under $100.

 

[so1id]

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll definitely check out your recommendations.

And guanaco, I like many different brands especially Pams, Breitling, AP, Hublot, IWC etc. However I'm not a big Rolex fan

Sead also has quite a few nice watches for $100-125.

I bought a cheapo 21j montblanc from Silix and wasn't disappointed.

OP's question is a good one.

There is a lot of focus on high end reps on the forum, but sometimes a good beater is good to have as well.

The bulk of the low end watches are crap. Faux chronos and open heart are typical examples.

It would be good to have a place where the good ones are brought up.

How about a forum for budget watches?

Good point! Although we can see a lot of sub$120 watches in the dealer lists the honest appraisals of low end models would be very useful.

One persons buy to try could save a dozen of us making the same poor choice or point us toward a particular worthwhile watch.

A sub $** section would be one way of doing it.

I have to give another ringing endorsement for Silix. Just bought 2 Tags from them and both were below $100. Customer service was flawless as well as I'm sure it is for the TD's here.

That's a tall order given the quality of this:

Toro's $79.00 024....:maty::maty:

 

[boostin20]

I'd say talk to supermirrors or silix. Both of those guys are great, and have a lot of econo watches.
