On sale it is available for $1000. Don't know how they do it for that price.

Ball Fireman Racer DLC orange.

I have the same watch on a green nato and love it. Only issue is that the painted numbers on bezel are starting to chip.




QsUOTE=jrs146;8365536]Comes with a bracelet. I prefer it on a Nato. Looks good on leather too.

I'm a fan of my VSA. Under $500, fits my attraction to divers watches, automatic, sapphire crystal, great insert (IMO).

Brand new.

Great value.

My current favourite <$1000 watch in my collection has to be this one:

Definitely Seiko Divers. I've had an SKX007, 009, Turtle, and a SKX031. Been thinking of picking up a Samurai or SBDC051. I also have an Astron which has been getting a lot of wrist time for some reason.

A Seaforth would be very nice for under $1k, but hard to get, and I am not comfortable with the prices people are asking second hand.

I also have a Damasko DB1 (similar to DA36/38), or Sinn 556, which can be had under $1k.

Anyone have a thought on the Nomos Club?

I know a little over 1k new, but believe they can be had under 1k used.

I'm looking for a high school graduation gift...

I'd definitely consider a Ming watch. Modern, unique, and made by a WIS

I have a Nomos Club and love it. It’s a cool watch that now comes in several different versions. You can’t go wrong with a Nomos.

I picked up my used Nomos Club Nacht for barely above $1K and it's made me fall in love with the brand ... enough so that I'm looking for my 2nd Nomos. I looked at rack grade Seiko diver at one time but couldn't do the size.

Congratulations!
Nomos makes outstanding watches.
I started with a Club Datum and picked up a Tangente 38 last month. I knew after the first one that I would get another one.

I used to pimp the Seiko Samurai and Vintage 62 mas around the $1K mark. The 62mas is a know and coveted watch now and the Samurai is outclassed by the Oris 65 divers and the Longines legend diver

There should be a case study on how it could possibly be that a company takes a home run logo and change it 3 additional times each one worse than the one before.

Want to own the most accurate High End Very High Precision Swiss Quartz watch in the World with an astounding accuracy rate of +/-5 seconds per year? It will only cost you between US $950-$1000

Some of the Seiko's already shown would be at the top of my list, just behind this little gem:

I don’t like the style of the Club and would never buy it, but if you like it then get it.

I have an Orion and the quality of the watch far exceeds its price point. It’s an excellent piece.

YES.

The other brands I'd look at, used Stowas, used Damasko, etc. Personally, I wouldn't buy brands that are just above a replica/knock-off. Meaning it is a replica/knock-off but they put their name on it rather than "Rolex". Just seems disingenuous...
