Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
Summer is over here in the South.
I can finally wear leather straps and not sweat to death.
This morning I reminded myself after putting a leather strap on this watch that you don't have have to spend a lot of money to enjoy this hobby.
Please post what mechanical watch you still occasionally wear and enjoy that's under 1K or thereabouts.

Great bunch of watches
Any more?

Re: Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
No pics on my phone right now, but I've got the SAS Sea-01, Halios Tropik-B (with the SAS Air and Tropik SS inbound). Then there's also the AEgir CD-2 for a bit more.
I love having them around and enjoy wearing then as much as anything else. And all we're purchased new. Great prices on great pieces.

Re: Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
I enjoy wearing all my watches and the majority are under 1k.
Re: Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
Great point. I wouldn't own it if I didn't enjoy wearing it, regardless of price.snootydog wrote:I enjoy wearing all my watches and the majority are under 1k.

Re: Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
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 TRFsnootydog wrote:I enjoy wearing all my watches and the majority are under 1k.

Re: Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
This Hamilton Super-Compressor from the mid-sixties was one of my first vintage watches, and still a watch I use regularly:
Still got some lume left:
This Croton Chronomaster Aviator Sea Diver is from 1969. Inside the Valjoux 7733 movement, also used in a bunch of vintage Heuers and Breitlings:
The dial has become dark brown because of sun exposure. It is nice to have a vintage watch that looks like it has lived a little.
Both of these are possible to find for under a $1,000.

No pics yet, but I just picked up a vintage Doxa 300T Searambler for under a grand. Looking forward to wearing it on a Micah strap I've had for awhile but haven't been using.
Re: Watches under $1000 you still enjoy to wear?
My two "go-to " beaters well under $500 much less $1k - two watches I want under $1k are the Helson Bronson and a blue dial Halios Laguna.
