My trusty Seiko Automatic has died. Well, actually I killed it. Last week I dropped it in the sink (full of water) and it stopped. I opened it up to dry it out, and it was working, but running slow. Today (after resetting it about 5 times in 12 hours), it pissed me off, so I opened it up to blow it out with pure nitrogen. The blast screwed up the hairspring. After 7 years, I guess I got my $18 worth out of it.

So, I need a watch. No, not some overpriced, pretentious brand. Something plain, reliable and cheap. I prefer analog, but would consider a digital if they made one that didn't look so damn goofy. Simple, clean lines. Aside: why is it that most expensive watches are tastefully plain, but the cheap ones have all sorts of needless and nonfunctional crap added? What the heck is up with non-functional chrono dials?

So, get another 5 series Seiko? Anyone have one of those solar or Eco-drive models? Say the hell with it and get the $20 special at wally world? If you had to get a watch, where would you go and how much would you spend?

 

Did you see this thread?

Not going to take the time to see if you already posted in it.

 

Rolex, bro, Rolex

 

Yes, I posted there. About the 7th post. Not much info, though.

 

I bought this watch couple of months ago. I like it.

 

Love the seiko arctura and sportura. Awesomely much watch for the money. Totally trouble free.

 

5 Series Seiko FTW! I love the ---- out of my green band, green face 5. SNK805K2

Decent site. I won't spend OSGiken money on a watch.

 

Very similar to the one I killed. I'm leaning toward getting another one.

 

Fossil. They're attactive, tough, inexpensive, and have a fantastic warranty.

 

they'er also for children

 

Try the, second hand, store. Lol

 

Only if you buy one after personally pulling 1M+ on your W2

or

If you are awarded one by your company for crushing ***** and making cooches squirt with your aura.


Otherwise it's tasteless.

 

No way I'd ever pay big bucks for a watch. That's just pretentious. All it does is tell the time, so it's no better than a good quality watch at a reasonable price. It's just advertising that the wearer is a ********.

 

Yup and cars just get you from a to b, so why don't we all just drive KIA's. Just because there are expensive watches, doesn't make them pretentious to wear. They aren't all solid gold and filled with diamonds. I have several expensive watches that I love wearing for various reasons, cost not being one of them.

 

Expensive as is 2-3 hundred? That's okay. You pay for nice.

It's the 10 to 20 thousand dollar ones I'm talking about. Or the 1000 dollar jewel encrusted pieces of crap that won't keep time.

 

Whatever bro, my Rolexes have gotten me laid more than my Corvettes have.

 

I'm married. I don't get laid anymore.

 

Buy a cell phone then?
