Best under $100

[shelby1501]

I was going to say you can't get decent rep for that money but after seeing @NCRich comment, I'm amazed.

If you want to get something from our TD's, add $50 and buy Noob PAM 372, I think it's currently the best rep you can get for that money.

I don't often chime in here.....but it is absurd to think you can't get a decent rep for under $100 shipped. You need to know what you are doing, and you have to be able to handle a few issue if they were to arise. But all these were under $100.

And that's in the past couple months. I would not suggest these for people who don't know what they are buying. But informed consumers can get stuff like this from Dhgate and its ilk. CAVEAT: THESE ARE NOT FROM TDS AND YOU MIGHT GET SCREWED.

Where'd you get the silver DJ? Mind helping me out?

Hi everyone, I have been looking at the two tone datejust rolex's, just wondering if anyone could advise me who to go to for the best datejust, thank you

Any trusted seller should be ok.I only could advise who I bought from and that's intime. Are those all quartz and not sapphire glass just wondering

Quartz? No they are all 2813. My diamond tester says that 2 of those 5 are sapphire and the other 3 mineral glass. I don't really care anyway. I'll buy cheapies to see if I want the better versions. The DJs are exacty the same case and bezel that you get from the TDs. I've used them for builds. The dials in some cases are the same as BP or TW factory uses. All this stuff comes from the same place. But don't order this stuff if you don't know how to deal with a DhGate seller.

Take that hundred dollars and buy yourself a gen crown and tube.

Youre going to need them

How can you even try to pull off a rep of a gen which costs an average of 5k+ and have a budget of just 100?

Crown and tube.

Yeah some on dhgate lie so bad they say automatic on first page and then in description they say quartz.i mostly tell them to answer me if they don't respond I never bother.yeah I was looking to fill my case more but might go upper end.Im thinking quality not quanity at this moment.Im thinking about buying 5 more watches so might make the best of it.but the watches you have turn out nice.i bought a planet ocean on ali looked nice until I scratched the glass and got pissed found out it wasn't sapphire.Im real anal can't go to low end on rep but yours are above worth the money.

At $100, the auto movements will mostly be DG2813's. The up side is it will be cheap to replace if it breaks. And quartz which are actually quite decent and reliable movements.

If your prepared to take a risk, http://watchoutlet01.com (formally watchstation) has plenty of good watches below $100. But there is zero warranty or package insurance if it gets seized. Just be aware of that.

Dont be put off by their low prices. These watches are all very well made and are much better finished than anything you will find on dhgate.

Like this
Submariner 16610 with sapphire crystal for $58 + Shipping.
http://watchoutlet01.com/watches/submariner-16610-black-dial-red-blue-bezel-on-ss-bracelet-a23j.html
Which is an absolute bargain. If im not mistaken these also share the same dials as the higher end models. The reps from dhgate all have crappy dials,faint incorrect text,terrible rolex crowns etc.


If you dont like these colours you could always change the bezel for black. Like this insert
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HIGH-QUALIT...775827?hash=item1eba4001d3:g:XqQAAOSw9IpXya4H

or this green Submariner with a better bracelet for $65 + shipping.
http://watchoutlet01.com/watches/submariner-lady-green-bezel-green-dial-on-ss-bracelet-a23j.html

A liitle over $100
A vintage submariner but with an Asian 2836 movement for $130 + shipping. Another great deal.

Also if your not fussed about brand logo's. Check out the Parnis homages on Aliexpress and Ebay. Their submariner/GMT models can also come with sapphire crystals and ceramic bezels from around $80.

Regmariner costs around 150 dollar and is amazing for the little buck. I have one and a deep sea for 200 dollars. Amazing Quality for the price.

Anyone know where I can get cheap but decent Omega seamsters from

I agree with you and thank you for posting, also to add low end PAM 111, Bell & Ross BR01 and BR03

 

[Robsen]

Thanks mate, where would you advise to start. I'm wanting an omega seamaster

 

[SL1234]

Almost every TD can get that model. You need to browse the TD websites for prices. Dig around in the TD section and you'll soon come across a link to their store.

Here is a speedmaster that was delivered today. $47 for the watch and $20 for the band. Originally came on a decent SS bracelet.

This is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for. Can you give me the details, please?

By the way, it's ridiculously frustrating and discouraging being told you're never going to find reps for a minimal budget, so to those of you in this thread who've actually done more than tell you to increase our budget, thank you.

I've repeatedly come to forums like this and pleaded for some guidance. I don't need to fool everyone. If a watch enthusiast rolls up next to me and calls me on it, so be it, but I live in an area where nearly no one even knows how much the gens even cost, much less what they're supposed to look like. Further, I don't even care if there are inaccuracies. Example: for a speedy, I'd love to have the domed crystal, but beyond that I don't really care so long as it looks like a Speedy, keeps time, and holds up for a bit. In fact, I'd actually rather a watch with a quartz movement for reliability and durability, or at the very least, a cheap automatic or mechanic movement so if it breaks, it's super cheap to replace.

I'm looking for a Moonwatch / Speed master, a 42" to 40" Radiomir, maybe a classical looking Navitimer, and stuff like that.

This one is $68: https://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-seller-luxury-arrival-quartz-black-face/387844398.html
