Looking for a watch for $100 or less. I've been looking around on some watch forums with little luck.

What I'm looking for:
$100 or less
Pilot or submariner style or something "classic" and plain.
Prefer non metal strap, but I'll take what I can get.
Case size 38mm+

if you want a mechanical watch , Seiko is probably your best bet, you can get alot of models for around 100 dollars in both diver models and classic stainless steel dressier models.

you can also get a Gruen automatic watch for 40 plus shipping from ebay, but not sure if they are still sold anymore.



Here is a photo of the one I own, but this is GMF's photo I borrowed:

For something fun, you can also get something like a Vostock Russian Army watch from ebay for less than 50 bucks.

Hah, that Gruen is an incredible value, the ETA2824 movement is probably worth more than $40 by itself.
