dave47 6,473 Posted October 4, 2017 Hi, Gang! Below is a thread I posted on WUS's "20 dollars or less" thread. I found this earlier in the year and has really opened a whole new genre in watch collecting. Granted, these are NOT for the long haul but just for the moment. dave: Hi, Gang! I just recently received two additional "20 Dollars of Less" watches from The Bay, both being BEI NUO quartz watches, each for the startling price of $5.99 each. I was fascinated by their appearances, especially the one with the Roman numerals. (I'm a sucker for those.) Both measure 39mm w/o the crown; 41mm with the crown, and a slim 10mm thick. The straps are, uh, ah, just WONDERFUL and should last several wearings. I know these are not "for ever" watches, but given the infrequency I wear a lot of my collection, they should last a long time. Again, KUDOS to this thread and all the great members who have shown their wares and have shown excellent video analyses of a lot of the watches. Your efforts to NOT go unappreciated. Now, on with the show, starting with the Roman numeral BEI NUO. dave: GOLD Toned BEI NUO: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Getting robbed" would apply to higher expectations that weren't delivered. With $5,99 watches, you KNOW what you're getting. And, for the price, not too shabby. Thanks anyway, Steve, for the feedback. I know the mates here will give me their opinions whether I want them or not, heh!! dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black263 228 Posted October 5, 2017 Really don't know how they can sell at this price, and cover postage. And they even include a battery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brang1 4,007 Posted October 5, 2017 i have been in manufacturing all my life, and i cannot for the life off me, figure how the fuck they make these things for the price? Low wages granted, but FFS $5:99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lipbos 0 Posted October 5, 2017 One would have to assume these are either loss leaders, or old inventory they need to liquidate. Either way, good find Dave! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Low wages granted, but FFS $5:99 I have NO CLUE, either, B.! These watches don't appear to be too recklessly cheap -- e.g. the guilloche (sp) dial appears to be decent; the date in the window is perfectly centered, the hands look great, the case (alloy metal) is nicely done with no rough spots -- the "leather" strap? Uh, cheapie. ALL IN ALL, an excellent piece for the ridiculously low price of $5.99 I have other under $20 pieces from SINOBI, SKMEI, and NAVIFORCE that are outright gorgeous. As NCRICH (also a mate on RWI) posted (regarding DHGATE; for the life of him, he doesn't know how these makers do it! Me, neither. I just sit back and enjoy them. dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
