My new beater after seeing this thread.

/\...better than a 'beater', IMO..!! - Depends on what else, is in your 'stable'..!!

Nothing too crazy I am but a small fish in a huge pond with some of the amazing collections on here. The first watch on page one got me interested in Seiko and I found this online and had to order it. I think I am going to put it on the nato I showed in a earlier post on here. The band is hot outside in the sun all day and gets annoying.

It's a great little automatic watch for the money, bro. (Sad to say that it keeps better time than my Sub, but it does...)

Good choice!

[William.L.]

Better then your sub? Does yours need a service? Its been running for almost a week and is +10 or so.

Hamilton is really good value for money but i wouldn't class them as cheap. Citizen and seiko are great right up there also luminox but the winner has to be G Shock, i love the latest one i purchased.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1374110468.409577.jpg

btw, how come Omega and Longines are 'cheap' watches? Is it more like to show off.. am damn so rich that even Rolex Air king is a 'cheap' watch to me.. ?

Thanks its a Dynamic 5200.50.00

For me I guess if you are used to spending thousands on watches anything under a grand feels like a deal. Not trying to show off I like this watch and it is the cheapest one I own.

Sub is probably due for a tune up; that and I don't wear it as much of late. I've been recreating my collection of watches from my youth and enjoying it immensely. The LL Bean-Hamiltons/Seikos/Bell&Ross's/etc are coming back via eBay, one by one. Fun trip down memory lane, plus shipping. :)

Vostok Amphibia is my favourite among the cheap, I believe I paid something like 40 Euros for it new. Keeps excellent time, about +2s/day.

Hehe, the lighting wasn't great but the flash more than compensated i think.

I like some of the Mondaine's and the Hamilton Pan Europ.

Reliable, faithful and sturdy Casio G Shock :) :)

Finally got rid of the bracelet. I hated it. I love this one though

Skymoon Tourbillon











I would have to say one of those Pacman watches from the 80s. I loved those things back in the day....
