I love this thread.
I've often wondered about starting up a TZ cheap watch of the year challenge.. who can pick up the coolest watch for under 20 quid off eBay
Chuck a few prizes in etc
Until last month, when I sold it, it was this HMT bought NOS for £11.

Luch 1 Hander I bought here for £50.
Marginally undercut a GW-6900 that I paid a couple of quid more than that for.
(I do have an old Seiko that I bought here for about £35, but it's a non-runner, so I don't think it should count.)

Nice idea, I’m up for it. How well do they have to be running?
I'd be game for that, would potentially mean a few people on here bidding against each other

I have a 14ct JLC dated 1954. It cost me nothing because I won it in a game of poker.
£150. Was quite pleased.
I did pick up another Enicar for £35 but that was quickly nabbed by the missus, so not technically mine any more!

This one.
It's cheap, light and seems pretty robust. Plus the lume is fantastic!

Poljot Buran chrono from many moons ago, probably havent worn it for over 20 years -until now
Primarily this is the watch that goes on when there is high likelyhood of major impact or damage occurring.
Picked this up 2nd hand for a tenner. The nato cost more!
I cant think of much else i can have more fun with for a tenner, that wont leave me sick as a dog the morning after.
Hard to say, because I have no idea how much the vintage stuff I was left by my Grandad...
Maybe this Sekonda?
Or maybe this Bulova?
Great minds think alike:

We've been doing one here every so often for a few years.
Come on then,
I've bought several £20 watches in anticipation and nothing's happened...
Not sure the start / finish has been agreed yet. I'd take part for a laugh in any case.
Are we going to include postage costs in the £20?

Ok, excluding postage in the UK but including postage from elsewhere in the world.
So China it is then.

I've also posted this in the solar watch thread but I've realised that it can go in this one too.
I've had this eco drive for about 15 years. It cost £40 from Argos and has outlasted a couple of G Shocks and a few other 'tactical' watches. It's climbed mountains all over Europe and been exposed to desert heat and freezing cold. I usually end up digging it out a drawer every few years when it's replacement fails. I wouldn't get it wet anymore and suspect it will only get worn when the battery in my cwc diver needs replacing.

I too have one of the above but managed to get this one as part of some deal for about the same price.
It’s titanium making it super light and is also by far the thinnest watch I own.
The allmighty G-shock, solar atomic GW7900, cheap watch but such a value

The Shshd PRC200, just £1.19 in 2019, brand spanking new.
It's shit.

I have some even cheaper ones but I actually wear these two. Bought both for 22 quid if I calculated correctly. Old 7009 and Casio Solar Illuminator
Another shot of the 50 euro Alpha.

This little Seiko 5. I recall it was less than a tenner from eBay. It's sweet.
