Which Low-Price Watches do You High-End Buyers Respect Most?

[Nate Wolf]

Obviously many of the people who use these forums do not have the income to chuck cash at Rolex's and Patek Phillipe's and the like. However, we all share a common enthusiasm for quality timepieces. So for you high-end buyers who use this particular theme forum, which watches under $750 do you find to be the best?

I'm a fan of Hamilton watches. I also own a Timex Chrono. Can't go wrong with that.

There are numerous interesting Seiko options in that range. You could probably get an automatic dress/casual watch and a dive watch for 750 between them. This is what my brother has done. He's just as in to watches as I am and really enjoying those. Check out the Seiko forum.

I'm a big fan of the low-mid range Seikos too! Superb quality throughout the range, and great value from the cal. 7s26 to the 6r15/20 movement powered Seikos.

Tissot makes some decent models in this range, worth checking out

You will find several gray market tissot models that will pack decent ETA movements that would fit that budget, to give you an example you could find a 7750 for about 800 bucks.

Seiko would be a better deal still. Decent automatic movements in their seiko 5 line in watches that will go for under 200 bucks. They must be the best value in the whole watch industry. Now these movements are mass produced and not really thoroughly tested for accuracy but They are easily regulated by any competent watchmaker in a snap and relatively cheaply.

I'm a big admirer of mid-level Rolex brand Really, their robustness and accuracy results from decades of carefully tuning a very basic design.
