I bought the second one for my Dad on Father’s Day when I was 14 or so. He still has it to this day. It’s a piece of crap watch and we both rock rolex & omega now, but still, was a great way to connect with my Dad.
I bought the white one about 10 years ago for under £10. Honestly it's not that bad for that though the strap is hideous. After sticking it on a better strap and putting it on my timegrapher it keeps pretty good time
I love cheap watches. You get the same engineering but they need to do all that for just a few bucks, which is truly amazing. I think it would be way harder to make the cheap watch than the expensive ones.
I had it. It lasted for about two weeks. After that started to loose power reserve,going late and brass residue started to show inside the case from the movment wheels until it just stopped.
Funny story: when i was about 10-12 years old i started to develop my passion for watches the problem? I didn't had any money 😂 The first watch that i owned was actually that exact skeleton watch,then i bought a cheap Casio and then a Seiko and now i have a pretty big collection including a Grand seiko and an Omega Even if those are shit watches thay can still spark the passion in a little child ❤
I have several invicta’s and I get compliments on them all the time between the speedway and pro diver as well as a couple specialty pieces.. Invicta owners aren’t cheap, we just like what we like.
I have second watch. Brought it just because of looks and when i had no knowledge about watches. Today i found that watch again sitting in my drawer hiding and still working fine. Coating on that watch is gone on some places but still looking good.
Wild that you can get an automatic watch for less than $50 new. A human still has to assemble those movement components. Then it needs to get shipped across an ocean. Incredible.
Insane value when you used to be able to find it for around $350. Now that it's discontinued, prices have spiked to $800, making it a less compelling value, and arguably other watches are worth looking at instead (even the newer Alpinists). But it will forever be an icon, and a solid watch nonetheless
@@ChronometerCheck Fun story my grand pa gave that for my 18 birthday 3 years ago Later my mother last year gave me the seiko sarb017 Almost the same watch 😅 Just different features lol 🤣
For most watches I find it's best to just keep eyes on the secondhand market, that's where you can find some really great deals on lightly used or even (sometimes) brand new watches
I actually own that monstro.. I mean the skeleton one. I bought it years ago and kept them as reminder, that I am not so rich I can afford cheap things..
A the techcometer is not worthless... do you no know how to use them? You have to know the distance to use. Pop the pin to stop at 12 for proper time calibration to use.
Ugh. Back in school i had that exact skeleton. I thought it was cool (I know, I was a dumbass.) I was very skinny back then so it looked horrendous on my wrist. All in all, I get mad on myself for spending money on that. It served me a good year or year and half and it's glass back broke and it gave up on me fortunately. I own an edifice now and I'm contempt for now.

The strap on the first one is hideous but if you put it on a half decent one I think it would actually look quite classy. That second watch is definitely interesting 😂
If I was in an area where theft is rather rampant, I wouldn't mind rocking watches like these. I wouldn't want to give up my 'matic Seiko because some dude was desperate to get something from me. :/
Forsining watches are chrome plated copper,I bought one from Amazon,and it was obvious to me that it was a customer return,as it had been overwound,it was the yellow faced triangular sports mechanical,I was that p***ed off I threw it in the recycling,there made for a price in china,not the best at that price point,but I liked the look of the one I had for 10 mins!!!!!.
These watches are made for a certain class of people who can afford them. People like you making fun of such watches are really annoying. At the end of the day every watches will have a story to tell.
