Best Swiss Dress Watch Under $500
Hamilton and Tissot have some nice Swiss automatic dress watches around the $500. New options are somewhat limited. Vintage / used can also get you all sorts of Swiss dress watches for $500, and imo often classier than new. But you gotta know what you're doing (it's a minefield) and also need to think about servicing costs. If I had $500 and wanted a Swiss dress watch, and wasn't a fan of the few new offerings, I'd learn the ins and outs of buying vintage and do that.
Red Star Watches?
Hmm. So the "submarine" watch bothers me-- this design started out as a bad copy of a Russian Komandirskie submarine watch (or clock I should say) that I guess has finally been rebranded. And the movement, according to Marc, is not Russian as advertised on the back of the case, but rather Belorussian* -- they're using Luch movements, probably the 2209 (all well and fine, but they're not the heartiest movements I'd choose).
Any fashion watches that you actually like?
I know fashion watches are not very popular here and for good reasons. I am yet to buy a fashion watch myself despite having all sorts of affordables in my always growing collection. However, I was wondering if there are any fashion watches you actually wouldn't mind wearing or you think actually do a good job in terms of design and looks if not quality. Of course most of us would prefer and recommend Seikos and Orients and Timex but this not the thread for that.
Vintage metal CASIO LCD watches... got any to show?
This is about the extent of my vintage metal CASIO LCD watch collection, outside of G-Shocks. While I've had interest in a few other models, they've been too pricey and difficult to obtain (e.g. DW-3000, TW-7100). Over time my desire for them has waned, so my current collection is about it for me. The DW-2000 was my first, purchased back in 1985. I'd seen the DW-1000 and TW-7000 and liked them both, but the solar cell technology caught my eye with the DW-2000 and I had to have it.
