[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 598994, member: 1211"] I need to stop looking up watches. I see one, look it up, and then am faced with "a used car or a watch?" Not really, but those are the prices I seem to run into with the watches I think are cool (that I'd likely never wear). The aforementioned Tudor Submariner. An IWC field watch. Marathon Chronograph. There is a Marathon GSAR with rubber strap at $1+K that is attractive, but...$1K. I don't really want a watch, so it isn't as if my Evian water budget is actually running into champagne tastes, but if I did want a watch, that's where I'd be. Once again, we older coots are at a real advantage if we started a watch collection a while ago. It's a good thing these younger folk are used to spending $1K on their phones every year or two. $5K for a watch probably doesn't sound as outlandish to them. Orient looks to be a good brand for the sane watch buyer. The Orient Defender is pretty sharp and only around $175. [/QUOTE]
