I've quite a few watches in my collection: a Seiko, Bulova from my gramps, a Victorinox, a super-slim Citizen, some old Timex, and a two year old Seiko - sarb033. I often, okay almost everyday, find myself alternating between a pair of watches from Orient watches at orientwatchusa. I bought a blue and an orange faced automatic Mako watch and I love them.

Each of them cost around $75 so I didn't have to worry about getting the crystals scratched, the SS bands scuffed, etc. I wasn't expecting much for that price. Now they've sent me a 40% off code - holiday40 - but I still have these around and I don't even wear my Seiko. Don't get me wrong, I love my Seiko but I can't afford another one at the drop of a hat. The quality of these is really very good.

If I leave them on my desk or in my drawer I don't have to worry about my kids or students taking/breaking them. Hell, I get looks of bewilderment when I tell them that my watches wind themselves.

I'm not telling you to buy them. Just look...

p.s. A good Seiko site - seiyajapan.com - I just love the looks of the SEIKO Automatic Presage SARX017 - at $508. It's got a classic design that not everybody appreciates
