I've noticed that a number of threads posters have a nice collection of affordable watches. Let's use this thread to post our favorites.
1. Orient Golden Eye: http://orientwatchusa.com/mens/modern-watches/cdb05001w
I love the simplicity of this automatic. It also has a sapphire crystal. Amazon has it for $230 here: http://ow.ly/auR1u Alternatively, orientwatchusa.com sells it for $210 with the promo code Spring2012. You also get a free quartz watch along with your order if you purchase from orientwatchusa.com.
2. Orient Vintage: http://orientwatchusa.com/ffd0f001w
Previously featured on dappered.com. It has a sapphire crystal and a power reserve indicator. Again, I love the simplicity. The black dial is on sale for $230 at Amazon. http://ow.ly/auR2P The Spring2012 promo code works at orientwatchusa.com, but it only brings it down to $322 (plus a free quartz watch).
3. Seiko 5 SNXS79K: http://ow.ly/auQOR
A nice, clean display with a brushed bracelet. The under-$100 price tag is nice.
4. Seiko 5 SNK357: http://ow.ly/auQTp
A similar model, with a blue face. On sale for $68 at Amazon. I might pick it up as a beater watch. It has the same 21 crystal automatic movement as their more expensive line of watches.
