I'm pretty sure it was <$500. It also happens to be the watch in my current collection that I have owned the longest--rep or gen

Wow... nice lookers here. If you stretched it to $625 I would have a different response but $500 or under has to be the Cocktail Time SARB065:

^^ that's some nice patina there. I had a brass one but traded it for a SS one.

All awesome and all under $500 but my favorite of these is probably the Dagaz in the middle.

Citizen promaster in rose gold $160 me thinks

Has killer lume & AR &&& it's solar powered

Now only if they could marry the Eco-drive mvt with the precisionist mvt I'd be sooo happy :)

I have a thing for American watches

And a grail for me

I have a few others I really like but they just tipped the scales at over $500. I try to keep all my gens under $1k as I find it hard to justify more than $1k when you can typically get a very comparable rep at much less.

For me it has to be this Tissot V8, very classy and at the same time sporty, I just love wearing it!!

I will obviously go along with you, Gaz, on the Prometheus Piranha and Orient Star Retrograde. Fantastic value! Here is my other favorite gen under $500 - Steinhart Ocean Vintage GMT - around $460.

Can't get away how nice this Fossil Decker Chrono is, and how many times it gets complimented! (Think this was £85, circa $130!)

This Seiko Prospex Air Diver Kinetic GMT has incredible wrist presence and a superb movement. It's RRP is above the $500 limit but places like Creation Watches can supply it for under $500 - well worth it!
