most for least?

this is similar to a thread i saw on another forum:

in these tough economic times, who gives you the most watch for the least $$$?

my vote goes to seiko. in particular, the skx007 with 7s26 movement.

Cody,

We should narrow down... It is hard to say - since I have seen $50 Invicta's that look COOL! Can we exclude quartz, or is it a must?

i never really thought to limit it, just whatever you think gives the most bang for the buck.

Hamilton Khaki Aviation Chrono. They look very nice, 7751 automatic movements, large 45mm cases and can be found for under $500 on grey mkt. Something i wouldn't be embarrassed to wear at all!

wow, that hamilton with valjoux is quite a lot of swiss watch for the money! i'm normally pretty down on swiss in terms of bang for buck - but this changes my mind.

Nice watch Mosco.
Not sure if I have got the right idea here!!
But If we are not excluding quartz watches, then I reckon that Casio watches place a lot of different features within their's

Thanks!

I used to wear it and was as rough as I could be on a watch... It took a licking and... well.... you know the rest
