Poor man's watch thread

[Cant kill da Rooster]



What is the range of price for a watch to be considered "poor man's watch"? The thread opens with some Oemga's, that's why I ask. 

A source of debate. I posted a $500 watch and I was told it was the wrong thread.

I think, then, this might fit in here nicely. I got this as a present when I graduated from school.

Paper, so long as the watch has what you want and is of a good quality, that's all that matters.

$500 watches belong here, Rooster. You were misinformed.

 

[Mr Martini]

Its not, i already gave you the answer

be james bond?

that Bond watch's descendant is the Submariner which is considered entry level poor man's Rolex.

To be honest I don't wear it as often as I don't actually like it all that much... i find it heavy and the fit is poor on the wrist, the flat crystal is too reflective, the lume is not great, the Rolex movement has gear slack and is annoying to set, and I find the bracelet uncomfortable and the friction clasp is unreliable.

This. Mexico would be glad to give him a home. I would not care if it is the poor man's entry level Rolex.

I wasnt suggesting he get a rolex but rather a diver with a nato strap.
