What's the cheapest watch...

[CommanderJameson]

...that you would actually wear?

I'll open the bidding with this:



...for £7.28

[Hoofy]

£10. Automatic. Can't see why anyone who likes Submariner-style watches wouldn't wear this. How many times do people stick their eye on the crystal and say, "Ooh, Rolex"? You either like the style or don't. (I'm still not convinced by the Mercedes hour hand!)

Mind you, there are £3 digital watches that look acceptable and serve a purpose so they would win.

Mmm. Can't find any right now. Argos and Amazon aren't selling any by the likes of Constant or Lorus. There is the "Constant Men's Black Digital Multi Function Watch" but I'm not that keen on the style (£4.99, though).

I bought a Buzz Lightyear watch from Toys R Us a month or so back for £4.

I wear it when I don't fancy my Tag or Rolex.

Nice little watch

F91.

bought this titanium Junghans for about 12€, strap was broken, put a 6€ Nato on it, I think it looks quite smart
little bit small though (it's an 18mm strap)

£2.69

Now you'd have to be a real watch geek to spot a fake F91W...!!!

[Ikemi]

£0.99 for an automatic? What could go wrong?

I'll have 'Style: White face, 6 hands'.

WWW.Rolex.com that should do you. I understand that not all can afford a Rolex but were all quick to mock the chap who messes up a perfectly good mr2 to make it look like a ferrari. If you want a good looking watch and don't want to spend to much there is plenty to choose from that aren't trying to be something their not.
Just my opinion of course.

That is very definitely a fake. For a start it doesn't say Casio anywhere on the watch or the page.

Sure... and I have them all.

The thing about the Sub look-a-likes is that they are virtually identical, particularly in proportions and dimensions, unlike the MR2/Ferraris which are wrong to anyone who has seen the real thing. If you put an Alpha sub next to a Rolex Sub, you'll find it tricky to identify the differences without looking carefully, ignoring the writing on the dial. It's only when you look really closely that you will see differences eg quality, angle of bezel, accuracy.
