beowolf Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultra Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 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: !

dak244 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 get the chinese movement 45mm PO i recomend black bezel red numbers I second that.... as far as the CN 45mm PO, but I would go for Davidsens 177 over Josh's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavor flav Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 i second the asian ultimate PO idea... josh's 177 with a full mod package is very good. the dial is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaguy88 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 Since when does josh offer a full mod package and how much does he charge?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrnixon Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 i second the asian ultimate PO idea... josh's 177 with a full mod package is very good. the dial is better. What does a "full mod package" mean? Is that something one can buy as an option to the regular watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any Ideas? 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.

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..
