AD says he can’t get me an iced out Daytona anytime soon. Need a cheap fix. Bought a Casio duro for $47 and really liked it other than being oafishly big like the fifty fathoms but gf liked the Casio so I gave it to her. Can be $50-500 prefer buying on Amazon. 39-42mm, 20mm band preferred. Anyone own a citizen tsusoya? Bullova archive? Credited seiko?

I want a beater I can wear places where I don’t care about it if I get mugged.

Stopped wearing my Rolex during Covid and never put it back on. Just annoys me when I try to wear any watch now. It sits in a drawer.

I’m sure you have several subs or whatever so I don’t see the point in buying a cheap bauble.

I need a watch fix and I want a beater. I don’t have any subs, so a diver style was my initial preference. Was thinking glycine combat sub, or a seiko diver, and honestly the Casio duro is pretty nice for $47. Much better than the $30 timex I bought a few years ago for this purpose (and also to troll my uber watch collecting friend) which ticks so loudly it is intolerable to have it anywhere near you at night. I bought a couple Casio digital but they are annoying so set and use and see. Something more formal like the tsusoya would be fine too. Simple is my preference.

There’s a bunch of stuff to pick from in the beater diver category. Seiko 007 or 173 are both good and cheap. Orient has cheap stuff. Various microbrands that have Swiss or Japanese movements.

Timex MK1 or Timex Waterbury for $50ish on eBay. A long time ago I realized expensive watches are mostly flame so I sold all of mine. I just have a Timex now.

Waiting for the Vostok amphimbia Zissou with non-mesh metal bracelet or black resin bracelet to be in stock. Yes, I know I am waiting for a $100 watch and a $100k watch at the same time. I see the irony.
