Poor man's watch thread

So how do one know if it's a Seagull inside?

The fit and finish won't be 100% either, maybe a few irregularities in the case. Will likely come packaged in a bubble wrap ball too. Don't expect a watch box

Definitely. These are nicely "designed", but still these are ~$80 watches.

So how do one know if it's a Seagull inside?

One asks the seller and trusts them. The more reputable sellers will list full specifications, including the movement.

The Parnis watches are a nicely 'designed' piece, but for less than 100, seems like a decent deal to me. I have put this on this list of things to purchase.

Nice job on the Timex Weekender.

would anyone shell money out for this watch?

About a year ago I bought one of the Skagen 20th anniversary watches on eBay and fell in love with it. It's mesh, so it's incredibly thin, it's platinum plated steel, and best of all, the dial is pretty much naked, as i hate a lot of noise on the face, I just like something simple. A couple of months ago I lost it and was devastated, since it was limited edition and I couldn't find the same one ANYWHERE. I started to look around and found one almost identical, save for the fact that it had a black face instead of a gray one, it was even the same platinum plated steel type, fairly rare as far as Skagen goes. Well about a month ago I went to pick up a blazer that I was having taken in from my tailoress, and noticed a bulge in the pocket, checked it out, and it was my first Skagen watch. So that's why I now own two incredibly similar watches.

Wearing that as I type on the "original" grey/black bond strap, but Nato.

Currently looking for a strap for my watch, what type do you guys recommend?

 

[Ace_Face]

I got mine at this eBay shop for less than 10 bucks shipped. Good selection of NATO, RAF and two piece straps. Came in two days.

Today's: Grenen Model #M-44XLUUC. Steel on a natural calf strap.

I quite dig this one. I did a google search but the first couple search results show different strap, looks like gray stainless strap.
