Timepieces valued at or purchased for $500 and under. Vintage, microbrand, Chinese, Japanese, etc.Share your collection or anything you’re thinking of adding to it.“High horology” posers needn’t comment here. These are the watches of the 99% that anyone can enjoy.
Let’s see what these are.
Another cheap Tomi toy watch and this Samda tank. $30 total.
I really like this one. The other has one of those plastic bracelets you can never remove links from; someday I’ll figure those out.
>>18703302Forgot the pic.
Just emailed the owner of Meranom to suggest making red and white dial variants of the Buyalov NVCH-20 watch.
$98
This is my biggest watch until the 41mm Duxot Henri diver arrives. And I’ll probably not want anything bigger than that.
>>18703356Sweet! I have an S&S tank coming myself soon. I don't remember which one but it's not a reverso type. They make good watches in my experience. I did send back their Monaco because it was too large for me, but I love my 37mm PRX style auto.
>>18703316>"It is not planned at the moment"Rats
If I like the coming Duxot I might get this one too.
>>18703316I could see paying $250 for this.
This was one of the first watches I wanted to buy. Then I decided I didn't want it because of the Roman numerals. Then I decided I didn't want an open heart. Then I decided 40mm was too big. Then I decided I'd never buy anything for over $150 that didn't have sapphire.And now I don't really care about all of that and I kind of want it again. It's $20 more than when I first saw it too. Everything is going to just keep going up. I've seen several watches I bought jump even in just a few months. Of course just because they cost more doesn't mean they're worth more. I just want to save myself money in the future if I think I will want something. That and a lot of Jomashop watches are only at such discounts because they're discontinued due to disinterest. Of course that doesn't matter to me that they're not popular. In fact, it's a good thing if I can get something I like for cheaper. My tastes keep changing and evolving so I may as well just buy anything I might conceivably enjoy while it's on sale. I like an open heart that doesn't make the watch asymmetrical and shows some decent movement...of the movement. And this one checks those boxes. I might get the dark blue because it's $50 less.
Like this one costs more, is bigger, and I don't like it at all except for the indices are better. It also has shitty glass and is overpriced for what it is. I haven't tried Citizen or Orient autos yet, only solars.
It's down to these two. I was mistaken, they both have sapphire where the Orient doesn't. And they have 5 year warranties where the Orient is good for one year. There's something warmer and more appealing about the leather gold one on the left, but the silver bracelet one is more my general style. I almost want the left because it'd be different. The open heart seems to work better there too, since there's no other gold on the silver one. I'm really stuck. The bracelet one is $8 more, but that's a fine deal for a bracelet when I have a number of leather straps that are better than stock Citizen ones. The "limited quantity" and huge markdown make the silver one appeal to some dumb part of my brain. I really can't decide. I could pay $214 and get the white and rose gold one. The open heart really clashes there though.
The black one looks really great. It would match this one >>18697848Unfortunately I can't find a black one new for sale. The video sold me on open heart. At least this one. I ordered the blue and silver since I really don't wear gold unless it's vintage. And no date complication is always a plus.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayRyfDj2kYUI also bought this 38mm Timex Weekender because it was only $24.
>>18703356dig the no second hand
I kinda want casio abl-100we for retro looks however I don't like metal bracelets.Does fw-91 plastic strap fit?
shitters.
Never too late for decaf. It’ll be light before long.
So many ugly shitters. At least post good-looking and sovlful watches if you want this thread to be different from the general one.
>>18704019Why don't you start, dipshit? You spell soul with a V? I fucking hate that as much as useless trolls like yourself. And if you think the other watch threads suck as well, what the fuck are you doing here? Go make a "proper" watch thread with the ones you think look good. Do something productive.
All watch threads should be banned.
>>18704052You can't even back that up with any justification. I don't understand why you post to threads you don't have any interest in. But if you really believe that I hope you make suggestions to the mods somehow. It would be more productive than complaining here.
