Cheap s****y watches

Post by HappyChappy »

God I love em!! I don't even use them to tell the time, it's just an excuse for a man to accessories, the girls have the earing, handbag, ankle bracelet market wrapped up, so what about us?!?

Thing is, I could get a decent quality bullshit watch for 5 quid in the uk, so why the fuck are they trying to shift em for 50 bucks at sorya market?!

Where's the best place to get a $10 piece of shit?? Central market maybe??

There's an Indian (looking) man that was at Front Bar on 118 yesterday and was having a beer; he knows a few of the guys there. He goes by the name Dickie. He's got a big thick moustache. He has a bag full of dodgy watches so if you see someone like him cruising the bars, it's probably him.

No idea of prices, but I suspect $10-15 would get you anything in his bag, maybe less.

Some copies cost more because they are better copies that are harder to tell apart from a real one. I've never really looked at them myself. I just wear a simple $200 Citizen.

Is she good at telling the time? :beer3:

theres some ok ones at Central market. they dont have everything out in the middle, plenty under the counter.

have to barter but can pick something up for $10-20. not sure how long it will keep telling the right time for.

24$ buys you a decent smart watch these days.
Looks like he'll be out of business soon.

It's an accessory I purely wear them for style. Which is why I didn't give a fuck when they sold me one that didn't work at central market. I did give a fuck when it snapped three days later though.

In that case... See a monk in a temple and acquire one of those stylish red straps maybe? Won't snap for months, guaranteed.
