·I don't know if this counts as a cheapie as it cost me GBP192 (it's gold). I wear it often.
At the current rate of exchange, 0.53 pounds will buy a Canadian dollar. Your watch would cost close to about $362.00 Cdn. Glad you like it! Probably worth all of that if it is solid karat gold.

·We found a box of watches in my girlfriends grandmother's attic. Couple were worth polishing up and adding a strap to. The style was apparently gold on flexible bracelet in those days.

·Does £112 constitute as Cheapo? I'm not sure but I certainly think this, my first Movado, is worth it.

·Oh, I have (and had) lots of cheap beauties. Here are a few for starters. These four cost me probably 50€ in total. Likely less. Well a bit more perhaps if you count changed crystals, straps and such. I hunt a lot at flea markets, antique stores, buy and sell sites etc.

·Do Lanco watches qualify? I guess at 16EUR they must.... now the question is to service or not to service... Caseback has Lanco reference 14738 and I am guessing it must be from mid to late 1970s. Nice to see a brown dial in a vintageish Swiss made watch that isn't so because of patina... 🤔😅

·Picked this up for about £70 from eBay last year. It needed a new crystal and I got it serviced at the same time.

·As a late discoverer of this thread, I've got many to share! Buying something cheap and dirty, but running, to clean up and enjoy is my stock-in-trade in watch collecting.
On the wrist today (photo not from today) a vintage Renis Geneve tv case (big, 38mm) with an integrated bracelet and day in French or German, which tracks because I don't think "Renis" sold many watches in English-speaking markets... AS 5206 has "choose your own adventure" set of markings on the movement.
It just needed a clean up and adjustable clasp to make it fit (and if anyone needs the National Semiconductor clasp it came with, lmk).
Happy vintage watch hunting!
