Oof some tough competition for sure.

The Seiko titanium diver would definitely take my vote. But he didn’t specify when he bought it.


Still waiting to cast mine but it’s either Tudors $20 seiko or your $5 Groot. It doesn’t look as cheap as most of the wooden watches I’ve seen. Although pictures can be deceiving

Lots of tough competition. I do like groot. It wouldn’t last a day on my wrist though.

The Blessed Casio alarm still goes off at 7am or 8am depending on daylight savings time. Every time I am home and hear it I think of Monsignor Ferraro.

Congrats Grady!!!

Thank you Chewy for the contest and everyone who participated. I had fun searching out some new cheap watches; going strap shopping for my Accutron today

I think that's a wrap!

Congratulations to Grady and his HMT classic for getting the most votes!

As part of the prize, Grady can now proudly add 'Inaugural TRF $50 Watch Challenge Winner'

And to echo 330ci, thank you to all who participated and contributed.

My 'GROOT' WeWood wooden dual time now joins the sock drawer to be studied and admired and possibly composted.

I'm as big a fan of cheap watches as I am expensive ones. If I like it and can afford it, it's likely to become mine.

I rotate through the cheap one every now and again.

Thanks for the fun competition!

I have been wearing my entry daily in rotation and it is keeping ridiculously good time. Looking forward to round #2.
