I arrived home from deployment and collected the latest arrivals from a friend that accepted them. I'm really pleased with the two in-budget (and actually very cheap) Parnis, and especially like the blue-faced one.

The art deco square one was a more expensive 1 of 100 that was mentioned on the wrist check thread and I got what I think was the last one.

Really like the Art Deco style of the watch in the middle!!

Thinking about getting this Laco B-Uhr.

It’s a type A, which I prefer, is 42mm, and has a starting bid of €129.

I reckon on a decent riveted leather strap it’d look the business.





Movement is a Miyota 821a that Laco modify and call the ´Laco 21’.

Looks good to me. I reckon on a nice brown strap that'll look great.

I've never tried a flieger watch on but I just don't like the look of them.
I'll try and get a place to try one on but then again do I really need another style of watch to need.
I've tried to be good this month but still ended up with 3 watches incoming.

Not an official black Friday deal but if you like gshocks the GX-56BB-1ER king is currently down to £64.50 from £99.00 on Amazon. It's a big watch and you will need at least a 7 inch wrist to wear it.

Excellent thread!
Just spent the last week reading all of the posts and like many others it prompted me to dig out my 'collection' all under budget but not seen the light of day for a few years. The yellow face Seiko was my everyday watch for about two years with the Casio the weekend watch. The TAG Monaco replica took ages to find in the desired Gulf colours.
Sadly never really worn now as it seem that time keeping duties are done with my phone, a waste really. However it has awakened a desire for a nice automatic, we shall see.

It's seems to be an excellent replica, no worries about wearing it in public. Nice weight accurate etc. I'd love to know which factory made it.

The Casio also feels substantial and must be reasonable rare as I've not seen another one the same coloured watch face.

If anyone is interested I may be interested in selling or part exchange for a good condition automatic?

Really like the look and for £40 what could go wrong???

[Bobberoo99]

I have a couple of older Timex Expedition's, they're tough reliable watches, my original is around 15+ years old and still going strong!!

Looks good to me for that price. I actually really like a lot of Timex stuff lately. I'd pop that one on a black NATO.

[blue_haddock]

Trigger pulled!

[Bobberoo99]

Be sure to give it plenty of wrist time!!!

And enjoy it in good health.

Ugh, I now hate myself.
