What is your latest bargain watch purchase?

Last week I got this Citizen for mere 30€. Needs a new bracelet though.

I am in love with fashion watches at the moment.

Above Emporio Armani was £30.

This one... a limited edition Timex x Worn & Wound WW75.

That's a good price for it if you like the watch

·

That's a great deal! 😎

About 30 USD for this vintage Edox that I bought today.

My latest “bargain” was this citizen Promaster auto… it needs a new bezel as the original is bent. I actually managed to straighten the bezel, however the retaining spring is behind repair. Citizen doesn’t seem to sell parts, I’ve only found one website selling the part I need, one must purchase the entire bezel assembly. Lol.

You could get some piano wire(cca 0.5 mm) and try bending it into that shape yourself. It could save you a few bucks, just be careful to buy piano wire and not normal, soft wire.

That’s a good idea. I may try that. I wonder if a guitar b string would work also…

Got this one free from work.

$20. Budget budget friendly lol. Feels cheap but looks decent.

From Japan Horde #1, this beauty cost me £200 odd pounds plus shipping and duty.. a few days getting it cleaned up and now it's shining like a north star ⭐

£22 on Amazon prime day 👍🏻

It was a birthday present so I guess technically not a purchase. Kind of love it though.

And yes I forgot to align the bezel before taking the shot 🤦‍♂️

I hope you like it. I've had my eye on one that's similar. I think there is a blue dial, greenish arabics version.

A Grand Seiko quartz! You did a great job on it. It will be keeping (super) accurate time for years to come.

A present? That's the best deal there is. And good thing you included the disclaimer about the bezel, otherwise about 50 of us would have chimed in.

I'll be at your HR Dept. first thing Monday.

I'm guessing the parts site you tried was Esslinger.com but if not, give them a try.

I call that "wrist presence". Looks great on my screen - a big bold look.

·

Yes, great deal. Will look sharp when you get a bracelet, but also looks good on the black strap.

That will be a really good servant for you. Rugged case, good WR, day and date, and I'm guessing a friction bezel so you can time events. All for $20! That will barely buy 5 gallons of gas where I live.

I tried every website I can think of, including Esslinger, none seem to have the bezel.
