I wasn't aware of just how inexpensive watches can be. The first is £32 and the other £37.

Quartz watches can be made very cheaply indeed.
Some nice examples of watches on this thread liked that vintage Rolex Oyster way more than the new ones.
Traditionally I've used a Timex Expedition like this one, which is a great everyday watch for £35.
However I have developed a recent interest in vintage mechanical watches, due to aesthetics and how the hands move.I wanted something that'd last for generations & was understated, so have recently found the (1967) Omega Constellation I've been looking for:
Mana Acoustics Racks / Bright Star IsoNodes Decoupling >> Allo DigiOne Player >> Pedja Rogic's Audial Model S DAC + Pioneer PL-71 turntable / Vista Audio phono-1 mk II / Denon PCL-5 headshell / Reson Reca >> LFD DLS >> LFD PA2M (SE) >> Royd RR3s.

If I had some spare cash I'd get my favourite watch - a Stauer Graves 33. It usually costs £150 for the stainless steel and £180 for the gold. At the moment The Daily Mail have the ss for £100 and I'm tempted.

Just after Christmas I got one of these for £20. Running a bit fast but can't complain given the cost.
