[beowolf]

I have about a $450 budget, I am ordering the 177H from Josh and would like to have a obviously cheaper but nice companion to this watch.

Any Ideas?

The 177h(rep) is a fine daily beater......... But if UR looking for the ULTIMATE beater a Seiko 007 Yao mod would do the trick!

Stay harcore :victory: !

I second that.... as far as the CN 45mm PO, but I would go for Davidsens 177 over Josh's

i second the asian ultimate PO idea... josh's 177 with a full mod package is very good. the dial is better.

Since when does josh offer a full mod package and how much does he charge??

What does a "full mod package" mean? Is that something one can buy as an option to the regular watch?

If I was in your position I would go for the Davidsen version. He has a wonderful feedback and I have not heard about a single quality problem or other technical weaknesses. It is not so expensive that you will have to treat it like a gen Patek or so, so you should be able to wear it at most occasions.

For the remaining budget I would buy a Casio G-shock, which I would use for the really hard activities such as swimming some types of sports. I have had one for 15 years and it is impossible to break it.

With this you will get a very nice rep which will last very long and you will get the best possible beater.

My gym/physical activity watch will be a 195 w/ rubber strap.

Thanks guys for your input. I will go with that choice.

Hmm.. I am wondering about Josh's "full mod" package as well??? I'd love to get a superlumed, canon fix, water proof, etc watch without having to send off for mods..
