    Well, that's always a good sign.

    Nice choice! You could go to war with that watch, their bomb proof. You should be fine using it in the water as long as the crown is screwed in and the seals are good. If your worried about it getting it water/pressure tested is easy by taking to a nearby seiko service center or a repairman who...

    Poor man's watch thread

    Just picked up another poor man's watch. A new old stock diver for $55 on ebay. While not an Omega Seamaster 300 or an orig. Rolex Turn-o-Graph imho it's presentable, 38mm case, tells good time and looks brand new; I dig the second hand. I see so many nice cheap watches on eBay but I have to...

    Very nice! Does it look like one of these or is it one of the newer white dialed ones?

    +1 Well said, shoot for an IWC or JLC. You'll be surprised what you can find cost wise with a little homework and patience. You'll love the quality and they can make good investments.

    Just picked up this Doxa on a whim for under $100. Keeps time within about 5-10 seconds a day, not too bad. It's amazing how cheap these go for in good condition on ebay, that's if you like these kind of Bauhaus watches.

    I think I would be quite satisfied in life if I was able to commission my own Vacheron Constantin.

    Here's my beater; I must admit I have not taken good care of it other than recently replacing the metal band with a leather one, it need s a good cleaning. It's much lighter and to me more comfortable with the strap.

    Sorry but I'm with Hayward, I give a solid thumbs up to orig. early Speedy's for ones collection. I think when one mentions this kind of watch, it would be a remiss not to mention orig. Heuer Carrera's or Autavia's. I do think when one is ready to spend this kind of money on a watch that they...

    Welcome Liam, You have a beautiful watch, nice job on the restore, that has to be for me one of the nicer Breitling's, very clean and not too busy. Your father has good taste. Cheers

    Admittedly, You are totally right in regards to finding case sizes bigger than 38mm but it's doable but probably not so much in a classic looking dress watch. And yes, part of having an interest in nice watches is also finding a good inexpensive local trust worthy watch repairman but it's the...

    I thought Hayward was going to do this, perhaps the forum should buy him a bottle of his preferred libations in order to get this done. From what I'm seeing and reading in this thread, Haywards composed input could very useful.

    Poor man's watch thread

    Rooster, I have to agree but there's so many very cool vintage watches in this price range that tell good time that I would defer the new seiko's, Sub Mariner copies and Hamilton's to the bottom of the list. Don't get me wrong, they definitely have their place but at the same time there way...

    Is this the one your talking about? http://www.10watches.com/apps/webstore/products/show/244957 I like the cross hairs and brass color accents but I like them both a lot. I just wished they weren't so freakin big (42mm), I would get one in a heart beat if they had a 36-38mm case size.

    These have been around in other forum sites but this maybe is a good one for the poor man thread. It's a homage to the Blacpain Diver with Seiko 5 automatic movement & case called "Fifty Five Fathoms". It's a DIY project but you can get them already finished new for about $300 or you can do it...

    A Patek Philippe or Vacheron Constantin should fulfill that need.

    +1 panerai: the over priced replacement for the rolex sub-mariner = currently being overplayed but still popular in every county club.
