Great point Andy,there are many watches under a 1000 bucks that are fabulous watches, if we go around that price I could throw in my Stowa Pro Diver and its built as well as most of the watches I own!
Kind of thread you would see at TRF
Wasn't shooting for TRF flavor I just thought maybe we're forgetting that there are nice watches that don't cost a small KIA. I know I forget sometimes with seeing WRUW and FS threads around here with 10K watches left and right

Awesome, post some pics when you get a chance.

I'm a "low roller" compared to most of you guys - all my watches are under $1,000.
Here's one:

Most of my watches are under 1k - and I like them all, but if I'm honest, I enjoy wearing the expensive ones more

The Hamilton is 36mm w/o crown. The Croton is Submariner-size, appr. 38mm w/o crown. Sorry, no 45-50mm divers in the mid-sixties...

A Seiko 6105 MUST be in the conversation of great watches south of 1K.
One of the most comfortable case designs I've ever worn......and a great timekeeper to boot. Pepsi bezel was added by Jack at IWW when it was serviced years ago.
