Please post your reasoning.
I think he is referring to the site selling it for 200 not joma.

It's not fake, it's just Invicta style marketing. Not sure why Joma has it for 800, maybe they figure some people are dumb enough to buy it at 800.

In any case it's not bad if you get it for under 150, but it's certainly not the deal of the year.

i can get this thing thing for $120 if my portals work properly this is a steal imo, dont care about the chinese movement or what anyone says

edit: this one aint chinese movement. someone check out the specs as i know nothing and i'd be delighted if you filled me anything, pros or cons.

no ratings anywhere, which is deterring

meh
They are all Chinese automatics. That one has same movement as this seagull.

I am not a fan of blacked out cases on low end watches as the coating usually scratches off really fast. I also think you shouldn't buy a watch if the primary appeal is the strap since you can buy a good quality strap in that style for $50.

ok im a pretty big watches noob and lost a bet w my gf, so i have to buy a ~500€ watch for myself (dont ask, im an adult etc)
after browsing a bit, these are my 2 favourites, which one should i get?:

1: philip seahorse chronograph

2: Bulova Analog Automatic

(2nd one is down from 950€ and has saphire glas, so should be better?)

Hate it or love it but I like this one:



Of your choices I prefer 2 for sure

First one shouldn't even be a consideration. I like the look of the second one.

Hamilton jazzmaster slim, might be over budget in Europe though


Alternatively

In terms of microbrands, I think the Helios Delfin is pretty cool and just slightly above your budget.

I have these 2, both within your budget. can def recommend em:





I'm thinking of swapping the green front for a black one, so I can put a nato strap on it. What u guys think?

Love that green Steinhart, I'm considering that for my next purchase. I like the steel bracelet, but I also already have a Seiko diver on nato.

The Steinhart is too Rolex homage for me. But the SARB065 is unique with that tinted sunburst dial. I've long admired it but opted for the Stowa Marine Automatic over it. Don't regret that decision, but I often find myself considering getting the SARB in addition. So far I've resisted telling myself I already have a light-faced watch with blue hands and should focus on looks that I don't have.

Would like the Discus a lot more if the logo were not there / a lot more subtle.

Also if you like no-hands watches might as well just cough up 50x the money and get a Ressence Type 3 IMO.

Found what I think is a good deal for a well cared for 16710 with a coke bezel. I'll post pics when it shows up.

An old one of mine from a few years back, 16700.

Root beer > all other sodas.

Not going to lie, I saw some, whatever the rectangle diamonds are called, where the color faded around on the bezel and it looked really nice. Definitely not subtle but it was pleasing. Anyone remember these? IIRC they hit Basel in 2013

You mean the rainbow daytona? "not subtle" is definitely an understatement.
