C'mon gentlemen, you can do it :)

Stretch your thought process and analyze the display as it is easy to read imho.

I got the blue one before they came out with the green. Then I had to get the green one as well!

Maybe a better fit for a sub-$500 requirement, but even at $1k this would probably still be my choice.

Oceanus OCW-S100-1AJF. Ti (light and super durable), atomic, all but guaranteed to be polished in a Grand Seiko factory, and all for under $400. Sold the one I had, and always think about getting another.

Edit: well, it's under $400 from several places, just apparently not Seiya, haha.

At just over a thousand, and waiting for delivery, I think this Furlan Marri is a lot of watch for the price

I think the Glycine Combat Sub watch series - which can be had for around $300 if you find a good sale - are an excellent value. And they look good, too.

I saw this after I posted just below your post. I'm changing my answer to yours - this is a ton of watch for the money.

It's not a practical watch; it is an interesting watch. Mine is bigger than theirs.

I don't have $319,000 for a Blancpain Tourbillon Carrousel.

Only watch I would own under 1k is one actually under $200. I wouldn't waste 1k on any watch.

So then you can buy a g-shock or a hamilton

It's an amazing microbrand, and the level of finishing and detail in my view are that of a much more expensive watch.

I'm also waiting on the mr01 micro rotor from baltic that should be coming in late this month.
