Wrist watches. Post pics, if you EDC one!

I ordered this watch from Long Island Watch. He’s in the same town I live in so I should have it in a couple of days

It came. So far I’m pleased. It has a Seiko NH35 24-Jewel Automatic Movement (Hackable). The case and band are high quality. I think its a bargain at $165

I ordered this watch today for $16 plus tax:

I'll add this band to it:

Once I receive the watch, I'll measure it and order a screen protector from eBay.

This is required for Timex watches because the screens scratch way too easy.

Ordered this Casio dive watch for $42 new from an ebay seller. It got an excellent review from Long Island Watch.’ll have it Tuesday.

The review starts at 3:16

Those are nice basic attractive watches.

You can’t beat it for the price. 200 meter water resistance, screw down crown. What’s not to like. If you scratch the hell out of it, who cares. Just buy another one. :slight_smile:

plus they kinda sorta look rolex-y.
i mean at 20 feet.

That was funny. Thanks for the laugh :slight_smile:


Very nice toolwatch! :laughing:

I dont think much about that IWC says “tool watch at all IMO.

No lume, very rouncded case, more dressy/vintage dial, rose gold color (I think? Or brass/copper), etc.

It is a VERY striking watch though, Im jealous. Just about everything from IWC looks great and the quality matches from what Ive heard.

Yes I was kidding, definitely not a cheap tool :slight_smile:

Ah gotcha, yeah that’s not the type of watch you wear as a beater for sure! :smiley:

My trusty tool watch … vintage 1980 Sub Mdl. 1680 … I’ve owned this beater for 38 years. My all-time favorite piece of wrist gear.

!!

It sure would be my fav as well weklund :smiley:

New Nato Watch Band for my Casio MDV106-1A. Great quality for $9.95.

Got from Amazon

nice.

aliexpress has natos for as little as 40 cents.

I’ve gotten some for $1, and they are ok for light use.

they also have rubber diver bands, for as little as $1
which is what you see on many old ebay diver watches - chinese generic replacements - the old rubber usually gives up in 10-15 years

That’s a crazy low price! How’s the quality? What I like about Amazon, I ordered it 2 days ago. Got it today. If in the unlikely event where it’s miss delivered to the wrong address, they will replace it or refund your money no questions asked. It happened to me once.

—i’ve gotten about 3 at the $1 price, they are ok, there was one where the holes were just melted into the nylon, which works but is crude
steel parts may rust, can;t tell
i figured for that price i can gamble
some watches i have just to resell or reband for the kids or whatever

some of the bands are good for kids, garish colors and designs

i’ve got about 5 on order now, mostly rubber ones or silicone
under $1
there are also very cheap metal bands
milanese style
forged/folded link style
those can look too cheap if under $3

and of course delivery takes forever

Word of warning on the cheap metal bracelets: not only do they often lack adjustment vs more expensive options, they arent always 316L or whatever the usual steel is and Ive heard of a number of people getting skin irritations from them.
