Poor man's watch thread

I'm not in the market for another watch, but I'm sorely tempted by this one.

IMHO it would look much better without the date window

IMHO it would look much better without the date window

I would be so extremist to say that every watch would look better without a date.

I like the jumbo date window. I think they integrated it really well.

That said, I usually think watches look better without a date window, too.

Finally getting around to posting the new watch.

Borrowed this watch last week. Seiko 6139-6002 "Pogue". Such a stunning piece!😍
The color combination is fantastic and the dial is just amazing!
Need to buy one!🙂 Some pics... View attachment 1933517 View attachment 1933519 View attachment 1933521 View attachment 1933523 View attachment 1933525

Too colourful for my taste, but can understand the appeal.

My new Unimatic Modello Due.

Some pieces from my poor man's collection randomly photographed (the ones I wore more recently).

Pulled the trigger on this gorgeous Baltic MR01.

Chinese movement, Hangzhou, with micro-rotor. Had preferred a Swiss or Japanese one, but for the price it's acceptable. Had also preferred a sapphire glass instead of the hesalite one.

that's really nice. 36 is a bit small, but I am tempted

Wow, really liking the new MM200 Reduced GMT's (not my pictures). I've always been a fan of the Marine Master, but knew it would be too big for me. I have this case on a different watch and love it.

I have a couple of MM300 watches and while they are gorgeous, my tastes have changed over the years and I no longer wear them because of the size but just haven't really wanted to part ways with them because I do still love them but I do love the looks and specs of the new MM200. If they actually said "MARINEMASTER" on the dial, I probably would have already pulled the trigger!

Most these watches here, make my Swatch not look like plastic..

If you don't have the Benjamin , maybe buy a Hamilton ?

Great use of the rehaut for the 24 hour scale to keep the dial j cluttered but the offset date window and crown kill it for me.
