Friends and intimates all know of my enduring passion for the very best the Orient has to offer in watches so cheap, they probably cost more to ship than to make.



$5.41 shipped. Bigger pics @ site.

It looks like a watch that could cost 7 or even 8 dollars, but it's yours for hundreds of pennies less!

Its dial is not just scratch resistant, it's super scratch resistant!

And best of all, it's a genuine Shshd, Chinese Prison Labor Camp #17's mark of excellence in strap-on personal timekeeping units and plastic garden hose attachments since sometime late last year.

If you order this, chances are it'll eventually arrive, and probably in working condition, too.

i'm sure you'll agree that the subjugation of Tibet is a small price to pay for such a quality timepiece.

It occurred to me that the link above might not work, since I got to it from an e-mail sent to me and subsequent searches on the site itself by that item's sku and model number don't bring up anything.

So, if that's the case, here's a nice looking, sub $5 (shipped) watch you can link to directly on the site.

A big plus! The watches made by Chinese Prison Labor Camp #17 are rated to be less radioactive compared to watches which were made by Soviat Gulag #11!
Even though Soviet Gulag #11 shut down in 1991, those watches still contain enough Caesium-137 to cause all sorts of fun side effects thanks to it's 30 year half life.

Anyhow, thanks to these Chinese Watches, I might be able to quit my Prussian Blue dependence!

They carefully don't say what kind of leather is used for the watch band . . . .


(I suppose it is more green to use every part of the cat or dog.)

free shipping too? i should buy a few hundred and resell them for $9.99.

People do, like chinese sunglasses at various downtown street peddlers.

The really sad thing is a lot of this stuff really isn't that bad for $5. Most of the US makes their stuff probably along side this stuff and just puts another $3-5 into the manufacture to mark it up $100-200 .

Hey Perk, it's not quite as cheap but it's relatively cheap and it looks good.

http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T2N647KW.../dp/B004VR9GCQ

You can get them for about $32 on Amazon shipped. Nice thing is it's a timex so it'll probably last a while and you can easily swap out the band for a nato style band or you can pick up one of the varieties they sell them in.



Perky seems to have bought them all already. I decided on a $5 watch so I can feel classy when I go out. :thumbsup:

Tempting. Very tempting. Do they have a stopwatch feature on them? I just realized that I need stopwatches for a lab next Monday & won't have enough to go around. But, and not to thread crap, I *might* be able to get some watches from the dollar store and save on the shipping.

Yes, these watches have a stop watch feature. After 4-6 weeks, these watches are guaranteed to stop. Some come pre-stopped, shipped right to your door!

Yeah, if you've been to China, there are tonnes of cheap knockoffs there. Really no reason to wear one.
This is what I wear now. $50 and looks real clean.

I have several Skagen watches. I've always been in love with their ultra clean design.

They are the esthetic antithesis of the "Escalade On My Wrist" style of obese and overly ornate bling/crap so many males with obviously tiny penors seem to favor.

I just happen to have this emotionally giddy weakness for $5 watches shipped to my front door for free all the way from China.

For the cost of a trip to Starbucks, I get to have this incredible piece of chronological engineering hand delivered by a uniformed subaltern of the soon to be defunct United States Postal Service.

And the damn things WORK! This pleases me in a way I cannot logically defend.

It's something you can tell your grandchildren, not that they will care or even understand why you once had the need or desire for a separate, non-programmable, electromechanical apparatus that had no wireless capabilities whatsoever, only told the time, and wasn't even seamlessly interfaced with your cerebal cortex through neuro-linguistic programming.

Your drool rate will increase, a sure sign that you've become cranky. "But it only cost $5 dollars," you will screech, which will only lead to even more insuperable problems.

"What's a dollar?", they will ask.
