ed, those choices suck. respectfully, of course.

didn't we go over this? YOU ALREADY HAVE A SUB. go pick something else.

[ericdw]

dssd over that daytona. that daytona is ugly as fuck.

but you already have a sub, and the dssd is too similar to make it worth it. so get something other than a rolex.

[Mrw540]

Was thinking about this as, budget is tight, but open to other suggestions: (this is on their site for $475 (USD))

[freecat]

^ hahah

some ultra sexy fp journe

[sybaritical]

Any idea who made this?

[corey]

Fake Panerai with aftermarket strap.

Check out Repgeek if you are so inclined.

Essential for anyone looking at copping watches over the net so that you don't get jacked with a fake.

exactly

i need to get my grown man on this summer but cant drop several g's on a watch

been thinking about this tissot

[freecat]

Automatic Tissot are solid buy, well built and use ETA movement (as far as i know).

i wanted to get a new watch because i've got a seiko diver on a nato strap, but there's nothing i really want under $1000. and over $1000 there's probably things more important than buying a watch anyway...

[altwaev]

i love my seiko 5.

I haven't set it in 54 days and somehow, it's only 15 seconds behind!

I must have been lucky? i've heard some of these gaining/losing 15 seconds a day!

[Co.jp]

[ProfMonnitoff]

blancpain repetition minutes pieces maitresses

$100k

but at least it has an animated porn engraving in the back

also this blancpain skeleton tourbillion is great

cant find a price quote on it but probably the same ballpark as above

[Androo630]

what model is that all black seiko above?

[corey]

SBPM001.

Good value at 57,750円.

[likewtfyo]

where can they be purchased at? i googled it but there was nothing available.

[the Repeater]

Curious if anyone knows what this is a copy of:

[Lawl.]

Im looking for a classic, simple looking watch. While my budget isnt much at all, just browsing through this thread these caught my eye.

Any suggestions?

And what might be a good site to check out for this sort of thing?

Thanks a lot

EDIT:

Well, Ive kept looking at it appears to me that im looking for something on the vintage side.

And because of this im guessing things would be much cheaper, granted I dont set my eye on some collectors item of sorts.

What brands would be good to look into quality wise?

[Phishphood]

Curious if anyone knows what this is a copy of:

B-Uhr, several companies make them. Stowa, Sinn, Laco, IWC...

[nemoulette]

E: Wrong thread

[Analyst]

B-Uhr, several companies make them. Stowa, Sinn, Laco, IWC...

Looking at the crown and strap, it looks like a copy of the IWC Big Pilot, with a chronograph thrown in.

fuuuuuuuuuck lost my beater watch (was a gotdamn bar mitzvah present for chrissake) somewhere in the dirty south in the middle of moonshine-induced drunkery. time to start frequenting this thread/not being able to buy any of these damn rolexes and tissots and etc's

get a hamilton or a seiko

[M4TM]

got a g-shock :

[ericdw]

Nice. I had a khaki and white Mudman but I lost it. Great for when you know a metal case is gonna get dinged up.

[Guest Phrost]

i really like the a lange & sohne 1815 L941.1 caliber

i think the lange & sohne is a realistic substitute to the phillipe dufour simplicity

rgm 222 by roland g murphy from lancaster pa is one of my favorites. uses vintage hamilton calibers
