Now taking suggestions for an interesting watch in the not (much) more than $300 price range.
There are no stipulations as to type but an accompanying picture is a must. All entries welcome.

My first two thoughts are the Seiko Monster and the Hamilton Jazzmaster (closer to $500) - both very dependable and each with a unique character.

My personal favorite in the $300 range (gently pre-owned): titanium VSA DiveMaster.

They are several variations of this Luminox with Tritium tubes that light up like a candle. I wore this one to the beach today, it's the perfect tennis, surfing, swimming, long distance running partner. I think I paid under 200 dollars new...

I like the Tissot,Steinhart and the Chris Ward watches are really catching my attention these are nice time pieces and great to buy in-between Rolex purchases ..good luck

Agree for the modern day choice

Go vintage with a classic like a 40s or 50s lord Elgin or a 50s Hamilton. The quality is great on both, but the vintage hamiltons are really great. I say if you want a nice quality, solid watch for $300, you can't go wrong with American made vintage. Or if you want strictly a Swiss watch go with something like a vintage tissot. I have a late 40s gf tissot bumper and i love it. I snagged it on eBay with no band for under $300. I put a band on it and now it is worn almost daily.
