Does anyone wear cheap $100-$200 bangers?
If so, show what you got.

This is certainly well under $100 but on days I’m ranching or breeding cattle, this cheapy goes on. I hate keeping my iPhone in my pocket and I like to know the time mostly, especially without the need to pull the phone out of my pocket.
This will get replaced often.

I purchased this Victorinox Officer Ratchet Bezel from The Sharper Image in the mid-nineties. Gone through a few straps but still going strong. I wear it when I go out to my industrial facilities and construction sites.

They take a licking, and keep on ticking. $40 each.

Why post this subject in the Rolex/Tudor watch forum which clearly states Rolex/Tudor discussions only.

Agreed; this should be moved to Open Discussion.

Fiveflat · 12 October 2023, 02:35 AM

This question was for ROLEX enthusiasts who also wear cheap watches. It was not asked of people who primarily wear cheap watches, who also happen to have a Rolex. So I would argue that it does belong here.

With that in mind, aren't you a "moderator"? Don't you have to ability to move it? If so, just move it, rather than post an irrelevant rant.

G shock Casioak ~£100
And Omega Seamaster 36mm ~£2300

Bang for your buck, or pound, I don’t think it gets much better.

Casio G-Shock 5610U, less than €100 from Amazon. A fun, cheap-as-chips watch for when I don't want to risk my treasured old Submariner. And as I understand things the OP was about Rolex wearers who ALSO wear cheap "bangers", like me, so imo perfectly relevant to this forum!

I agree with Padi56, that's why there are other forums to post this (non rolex watch) topic in. And speaking of "rant"....

No he posted Show your cheap banger and not once anything Rolex related and my post was not like you put irrelevant. There are places which all topics should be put and clearly marked in the relevant correct forum which should be in this case the watches non Rolex forum, now you have a nice day.

The thread is in the wrong forum. It's not the end of the world, but it will be moved eventually, so calm down and show some respect for those who've been around long enough to know an thing or two.

Only here could such an innocent thread be considered controversial in any way.
