·You don't have to be a millionaire to afford a nice Milljonär. In fact you only need about 20 bucks.

·This one was fished from the ‘Bay for $9.99 and featured a broken crystal, tarnished hands, and worn-through lug holes. It cost twice what I paid to mail it to me, and twenty times that to service it. Obviously I have the cost-to-value part of this hobby completely backwards...

·Couldn't decide which one is my favorite so here are my three favorite low-cost watches:
Smash Dragon Ball Z - Goku vs Cell - I don't really wear this one anymore but this one is timeless.
Casio F-91W - This watch is invincible. Wear it primarily for swimming and snorkeling. 6 years later, it's still going strong.
Seiko 5 - Picked up for less than $100 over a decade ago. I still wear it as a daily.

My Mondia Chris-Craft was purchased for $35 shipped on the 'bay. A.Schild movement with incredible 3D indices and a bright blue dial. It came with the original bracelet too, although it's rattly and cheap. This one is a rare bird.

··Yoda of YodelersPaid $35 in an antique store- it was running.
Discovered the auto mechanism was removed, bought parts watch on eBay for $60.
Had it serviced with said parts watch as donor, $150.
Horween strap was $65…maybe this doesn’t qualify anymore.
That seconds hand is dope! 😎

·This one may not qualify as a cheapie (I got it for free), and it is not a favourite. It was not running when I acquired it, but I fixed that with a $6.00 replacement movement and a cell. This is pretty much the only watch I have that I consider a beater. I bought 50 expansion bracelets like the one that is on it. New, stainless steel. I bought the box of 50 off a silent auction table at an NAWCC mart many years ago, for $20.00. Nothing in particular against Seiko watches. It’ just that I don’t collect them.
