Hi everyone,

I got tired of reading people talking about watches well over $1000 in the poor man's watch thread. Let them argue about their misery and dissatisfaction. Back to the roots

And, also no watches that can be found used around $1000 either.

So let's set a $600 limit.

$600 limit is more fun given most good Kickstarter watches are around $400-550.

Pardon the solid white gold buckle. I was too lazy to exchange it with the poor man's watch ;)

Agreed. My Citizen Eco-Drive Atomic Timekeeper with a Perpetual Calendar was purchased for less than $200.00. (The Retail was nearly $400.00). I love this watch and can't see buying expensive watches when this works rather well.
