Watches - another OCD problem

+1…

great watch and finally a new one for me!

[orlylow]

any recommendations for a watch in the range of 200-300? (preferably not seiko though…)

old watch strap looking like shit now, need an excuse for a new watch and not a strap... 

[Giles]

I'd go for one of these (well I did and loved it).  Yeah, I know it really is a Seiko, but you can pretend it isn't…..

Tthe Orient Mako is an astonishingly good watch for the price.

I don't mean to be a snob but I had to say something.  A watch (especially if you belong to this forum) is not something you buy BECAUSE it is 58 dollars.  If a watch costs 58 dollars there is probably good reason for it.

I have a guilty confession when it comes to watches. Mini bought me a Bapex 4 Christmases ago, and I've always told myself that when it dies I will purchase myself a decent watch…....it has never missed a beat, still keeps perfect time.

[bertoni]

What's a Bapex?!
My g-shock is the same….won't give up bless it.

[madmonday]

think it comes down to quality for the price of the item purchased.  then again that is all subjective.  g-shocks are good sh!t.  no idea on the bape watches, but 4 years without missing a second sounds like it was a good investment on the part of the misses.

[bertoni]

Yeah I seriously can't fault my G-Shock…got the G-510D stainless steel version.

Not very refined but takes no shit….

This is the same as my Bapex…

[madmonday]

dressed her up a little:

i'm happy keeps good time so far looks cool & has held up to my daily bangs & falls

[Jii]

Nice!

Next watch… If I win the lottery...
