It would be interesting to see peoples' cheap and ultra cheap watch under the title amount.

This in one of mine, OK TIME, bought around 3 years ago for £1.58! Still running and very nice to wear. As the caseback is tight to get on and off I decided to test the water resistance, I put it in a glass of water for 7 minutes and it survived ok.

I paid $25 Cdn (about 14.6£) for the pair. I probably have a few others in that category.

picked this up for $30 recently… wasn’t running so i lucked out cause it just needed a battery

 

[Stephen2525]

This was $3.75, ordered in dollars, including postage, total with VAT was $4.50,

 

[analyn17]

Yeah i also have cheap watches and still working good

 

[oak1971]

I bet I have more non working watches than anyone and spent more besides. I'm an idiot.

 

[mikeyt_53]

Possibly. At last count i had a total of 263 watches of which 47 were non-runners.

You might have me beat. I think I have 10 or so that work. I'd go broke sending out 30-40 for repair.

 

[mikeyt_53]

I work on them and get them running when i feel like it or i just save them for parts.

I bought this K Worcester with PESEUX 7050 movement

A few weeks later I bought this Rotary with a PESEUX 7040 movement, vrtually the same except the Rotary was slightly smaller diameter

One was £4-something and one was £7-something, I can't remember which now, but both in the price range of less than £25.00.

 

[Stephen2525]

This new Ravel Army was £7.95 including postage,

 

[mikeyt_53]

This was a $20 Cdn watch ..... plus the cost of a new battery.

 

[CometHunter]

Twenty five dollars or less? That rules me out. My cheapest watch was a Russian piece of junk made intentionally for export to North America and cost $35 at a local gun show.

 

[mikeyt_53]

I got this one for $25 Cdn. Took me about an hour to get it running decently.
