Deal appears to be gone. Sweet one. Seems to have gone quick. Wish I'd noticed sooner!

Yes, that would have been a sweet watch for $4. MoT has one in that color way. I would have got one to hydromod.

FINALLY got in on one of these deals! For $11, why not? Cheap impulse purchases rule.

Edit: forgot to say thank you to [mention]pgcity [/mention] for posting the deal! This is such a fun thread. I’ll post pics when this lands in 2 weeks [emoji12]

How do you guys go about finding the super cheap stuff? Do you just search for like "Casio watch" and sort by price?

I have this Amazon search bookmarked (the MOT site scripts might break this link URL; if so, you can see my original URL text by clicking the reply button):

UPDATE: Here is a new link. The old link above wasn't showing yinzburgher's Timex, below. For some reason setting the "max price" fixed that problem. This new link is also tidied up -- I removed some things from the URL that didn't seem necessary.

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Men%27s+Wris ... e-asc-rank

On my last find, I'd had it in a tab and would refresh the page occasionally.

I'd be interested to hear what others do, too.

Here’s mine from the last time. 20mm lug width. 40mm across the bezel. Edit to add a confession: I never wear this watch. I put it on, decide it just isn't me, and I take it back off. But for the money it's a fun addition to my watch tray. Plus it checks the 'ironic sub homage' box, lol.

My son made me NATO adapters for my Timex Ironman (with his 3D printer), which really improved its presence. So for Christmas I asked him to make some for my Rugged (same as above). Hopefully I'll have some photos to post before the end of the year.

When I think of those cheap digital watches with stainless steel cases and bracelets that were so ubiquitous in the 80s and 90s, I typically think of two brands....Casio and Timex. You can still buy those type of retro digital watches from Casio and Timex now, but unfortunately you have to pay a bit more if you want one with a stainless steel case. Most of the models under $20 actually have a plastic case with chrome plating or silver paint that chips easily. But I think the watch below seems to be a nice stainless steel alternative for less than $20 (well, sort of).

Speidel is known mostly for it's bracelets, straps, and bands....and particularly for the Twist-O-Flex Bracelet. But they are currently selling a stainless steel digital watch with that bracelet on their site for just $25 (previously it was over $50). If you use the promo code SPOOKYSAVINGS, the price comes down to just $18.75 The caveat is that unfortunately there is a small shipping fee for orders under $50 (showing as $5.73 for me).

There is thread on WUS that contains some more information about these. LINK HERE. If you're interested in buying one, reading through the whole thread is helpful. There are some particularly helpful posts from user roverguy78 who clarifies some of the details that aren't so clear on the Speidel site:
Mineral crystal
Choice of small, medium, or large bracelet
Lug to lug: 41mm
Width in the center: 33mm
Thickness: 10mm
Lugs: 20mm (All of the Straps!)

The module is made by a Chinese company called Baojie. It is model # BJ3716A. Apparently they are a major supplier of modules and have been around for 20 years............Battery is a CR2016 with an estimated 2 year battery life.

Speidel LCD Digital Watch - click the images below


Stainless steel reference 603350002



PVD Black Stainless steel reference 603352202

This Speidel digital deal is back on with code CYBERWEEK30. Click above.



There are also a number of cheap watches on sale at Ashford. I don't remember off the top of my head when free shipping kicks in.

For instance, this Acqua by Timex AA3C78900 is just $8.09 with code HOT10.....39mm and would look great on brown leather.





And there is the Timex Ironman Essential TW5M11400 for just $11.69 with code HOT10.





And plenty more here. A bit over $20, but I'm thinking about this one for myself. Most sources list it at 38mm rather than 36.
