Poor man's watch thread

Well I must concede that you beat me in the color game. Your watch to shirt/sweater matching is beyond anyone I've seen even on IG.

When you have as much inventory as I have you can always find something that'll match.

Keeping about 18 pieces. Sold 70+ pieces since last year. Time to sell jackets as well I think it's about 65 pieces now.

It is definitely freeing to clear out a bunch of pieces that you don't get the use out of that you'd like to. Were there any watches (poor man's or otherwise) that you particularly regret letting go?

I've recently listed a bunch of watches on WUS (and want to list 5 to 10 more) but it always takes me forever to decide to actually part with something.

At 50% off as every 6 months CW dumps all their stock these are truly good value. ETA, GMT, real ceramic bezel, 600 meters WR puts everything from Omega to shame. And most importantly for SF members, comes in a multitude of colors. Sold mine for same price I paid them for new ($350) just because I don't want to be seen as a CoWard

The green one with the alligator strap is awesome.

I know the feeling. Hard to thin out. My watch cases are full and if I buy another case my wife will go ballistic....I have some cheaper watches that I need to part with (from when I first caught the "bug") but I can't get much for them, not worth the effort. I'll probably give them away when I go back to Romania next year.

I ordered a couple of exotic straps that I'm going to try out, a dark blue croc and a black stingray with blue stitching.

Stingray is awesome but spendy.

I found this one on ebay, from Spain.

I'll look forward to your impressions when you receive it.

The rare African croc straps elevated it quite a bit.

I always say I don't believe in regrets but I truly regret selling the GS Blizzard to a friend for pennies. I think resale has gone up by 50% msrp.

Imagine how much cooler this would look with cognac ostrich leg straps.
