A poor man’s watch collection - watch #6
This is my sixth in a series of posts on my humble watch collection.
This watch was a present from my dear mother-in-law. She and my father-in-law visited the Philippines and came back with lots of presents for the family.

I’m pretty sure my MIL loves me; I’m just not so sure she’d spend $2000+ for a Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust for me. Heck, even I wouldn’t spend $2000+ on a watch for me. So I’m going to assume this is a replica. Despite being a replica, this watch is actually more accurate than my Seiko SKZ211J (aka “big chunky watch”) which is a bit fast. This Rolex has an automatic movement that hacks (hands stop when you pull the crown out) and is hand-windable. The second photo even shows the laser-etched crown logo at the six-o’clock position. Not too bad!
