Poor man's watch thread

eBay. Keep looking, the breakers will often post radio room clocks they can't sell elsewhere, but they're mostly Russian ones.

That looks like a gem, I searched Radio Room clock on ebay but only found a few and they are heavily tarnished.

Seiko 5 is only $55 ? Thoughts?

I have a similar watch but with a white face. For $55, it's a good deal for a beater watch. Not sure why everyone else said pass on it. If you go to Overstock.com, they have tons of discounted Seikos there.

They said pass b/c it's not a logo whore status item.
It's just a well priced functional machine.

Seikos are way better than some of the stuff posted above. Not to mention better movement.

Agree. I paid $56 for my SNK809 on amazon a month or two ago, and I love it to death. Display back, great style, keeps time like a quartz, and an iconic cheapo like OPs above. There's no reason to buy junk when these are always available.

Picked up a timex weekender for $24 shipped. Not a bad deal for a decent looking beater watch

Anywhere to find it for Canadians? I tried your link but doesn't ship to Canada. Haven't found it elsewhere, but maybe I just suck at searching.

I think Parnis are not worth it. I had one that just stopped moving, my father had one where the lens just cracked.

Sure, they were replaced but still.

First thing I did with my Seiko was throw it down the stairs last christmas; works just fine.

The problem with Seiko is, that the dials are not always as nicely designed as I would like. Why don't they reissue something like the blue spark?

Thank you for your comment. I opened the back as you suggested and there is no RGP designation. The only identifying marks are the serial number and Bulova patent stamp.
