Best “bang-for-your-buck” diver?

The Duro is so affordable you can buy one as a beater and one as a babI have a regular Duro

And a gold highlighted fancy pants Duro with an after market strap that cost more than the watch!

This is the way!!

Wow! I am waiting for my one in a blue colour. Little bit scary about the diameter of 44 mm but we will see. If the blue one will be OK, I will buy the black/gold version too😜

I found this Citizen BM8180-03E for less than $90 and thought it would be a perfect daily beater watch, but I soon fell for it and had to find another beater watch.

I finally settled on a G Shock GWM5610 for my beater watch.

Great plan! It wears a little smaller than the 44mm case, I wouldn’t be worried!

Love that watch. What a steal! I’m a sucker for field/pilot watches!

Yeah, I got lucky with this and a Seiko SNK809; got 'em both for about $160 new on Amazon of all places.

My Vostok “Zissou” for sure.
 

Also that’s a sweet Duro!

Thank you!!

Now I don't know if you count this as a diver or not but the Casio MTP-S120 (don't know if three is a nickname) is looking very tempting to me. I know I'm not gonna be fully diving but it has a 100 m water resistance. Knowing Casios legendary reputation it probably can do a whole lot more. It comes with a nato strap (which in my opinion is more comfortable) and one thing that really sells it for me personally. It is solar powered! For a price sub $100 to me seems likes hell of a deal if you ask me. I'm planning to get it sometime soon and see what I think

They start as beaters. Then you see how well built they're designed and fall in love with them and treat them like luxury pieces LOL 🤣😂 I'm a bracelet guy and found this fully brushed oyster bracelet on AliExpress.  Fit perfectly with hollow curved endlinks. Also installed a milled clasp🔥Wear the watch in good health brother 👊🏽

Sub $100 and solar powered… that’s awesome. I really like that. Be sure to post a wrist shot!

Looks awesome on that bracelet! I think I’ll have to get one as well. Thank you my guy!

That looks fantastic on the green leather.  Perfect combination.

Actually is a green rubber from Strapcode.

But it still cost more than the watch!

Since you specifically mentioned divers, and bang for your buck, I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the SD1970 from STEELDIVE yet. Unless you're not down with an #homage  piece. They're about $89 now! Here's an artsy macro shot of it getting wet! #aliexpress #chinesewatches #automaticwatch #seikohomages 

Great photo!

Thanks! I figure most people know the watch...so let me show you some detail. I love watch macro shots!

Oh yes i had to get one of each, they were going for $38 and I got my son one and my wife one as well. I’m tempted to get doubles but let’s break these first…..

(ain’t going to happen because Yes I baby my budget watches as well) 

You're missing the Pepsi version. I just picked it up today. Haven't had time to take a picture yet. 

Yep those were going for $100 but I see they’re at a lower cost. Now I must pick one up. I like the original strap, very comfortable, but I have a habit of changing straps and bracelets. 

I have one of these.  I like it, but it doesn’t get much wear.  However, I get dozens of Amazon questions about it: lots of folks are interested in it.

they are a great bargain.  I took a blue one and modded it with a domed sapphire crystal from crystal times, and put it on a blue sailcloth strap.  Looks fantastic.

It's a great everyday watch ⌚ excellent price, got mine for less than $50 bucks. 

The Duro is one of my favorites. I bought it on a whim at Walmart and have been so pleased with it. I can't believe the quality for such a low price. It's inexpensive, but it's definitely not cheap.

Yes! Couldn’t have said any better.

Nice watch, wait until the Orient turns up, you’ll be amazed again, but more so.

A bargain when I got it in 2014 £90

Brother, the exact same watch, Casio Duro! In fact, bought a second one as well, black face and blue face.
