Poor man's watch thread

I don't see why not. I have leather on mine.

Yes but not much. They are way overpriced here. In Japan, that's a different story.

Yup. Heaps of Made in Japan Seiko 5s for about 9000yen a pop. 8000yen for non japanese made seiko 5s. Pretty awesome.

Anyone own one of these? Looks pretty nice for a military-style watch

Seiko SNE095P2

Finally upgraded from a Seiko 5 I posted on page 3. Got an Orient Black Mako as per recommendations from the Watchuseek forums. This thing is beautiful and looks MUCH more expensive than the $100 I paid for it.

That Orient watch looks really damn good for $100. Where did you buy it and I am going to guess it's quartz?

IDK how I missed that, I should wear my glasses more often. This watch seems like a great buy, I will be ordering one for sure in the near feature. At least something to hold me off till I can afford an Omega Planet Ocean.

Nice. I chose to upgrade my 5 by getting an skx175.
