Just picked up my first "timepiece."

[MVike28]

I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on a Steinhart, yes its homage to Rolexes but a ton of sites vouch for their quality

Plus im always active and its a watch you can get away with beating up.

Can anyone recommend a nice diver under 5hunnit?


I'm looking at Invicta....I believe they use Seiko movements/parts....

plenty of Seiko's for around that price. and they're actually ISO certified dive watches

I'm not a big fan of Invicta, but they do use a Seiko movement, and they're pretty cheap

Skip Invicta. I was given one that had the date stop working, chronos not align and eventually rubber strap disintegrate from just sitting in the watch box.

It all depends on your style/preference but like @daze23 said you're better off just going with Seiko (SKX, Monster or one of solar chronograph/diver combos). Also look into Orient Mako/Ray.

I would personally go for Glycine Combat Sub Golden Eye.

Glycine was recently purchased by Invicta so their value has gone down a bit in people's eyes. This guy listed/sold it for $375 FS: Glycine Combat Sub - Golden Eye. I was tempted to get it at that price even though I already have a diver.

Only problem is that Golden Eye doesn't come up for sale often so you might have to wait a bit.

yeah, I got my Combat Sub for around $400. Jomashop has a few colors for $425-495

watch is nice. shyt is super thin, especially for a diver

I been looking at the Airman, but I worry the 24 hour dial might be weird to get used to. plus I really don't have a use for an extra GMT hand

The vintage is fantastic.

Really distinguished look to it.

Problem is (i know its minor) but the 19% tax, and 30dollar shipping is annoying.

But they are built extremely well and very comparable to Omega Seamaster/Rolex Subs but you know the prestige associated with those 2 names.

See, they can miss me with all that tax and shipping costs. I plan to purchase from one of the used watch forums. There I'll be able to negotiate and get something without the "luxury tax."

Wasn't gonna get anymore watches, but I couldn't resist this one.

It's too bad Burberry isn't designing watches anymore. I love their looks.

I'm getting another pay rise at the end of the month that Batman GMT master 2 is calling me more and more each week

 

[Lifejennings]

You know you're classless when instead of paying for these beauties you'd rather just use your phone for a watch. I don't have any class. I can't pull the trigger.

wristwatch is so much more convenient IMO

Omega Seamaster is under $2,700 on Jomashop if anyone is looking to make a big splash. My dream watch.

Does any other company make unique watch boxes similar to Fossil? I believe each Fossil watch had it's own box.
