Completely agree! I've purchased several microbrand watches recently, each for $500 or less. They're in rotation with my Rolexes.

Nice watches. Not Rolex level. Or IWC, JLC, PP, etc. Generally, you get what you pay for. Sorry to be a sourpuss.

Wow were those terrible alternatives to Rolex but fine watches for what they are supposed to be. Some inexpensive watches are great and some are …..interesting?
Paid $550. Meteorite dial, titanium case and bracelet, eta movement I’m sure I overpaid or I’m sure I’m not impressed. Should of bought a $550 seiko Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

While I wait for delivery of the Phantasos Triclops, here's some fun reasonably-priced pieces I love.

I love cheap watches mixed in with my fancy ones. Great thread.
FWIW it keeps me grounded knowing my cheap watches keep better time.
