So basic premise is this. Let’s help out the budding watch enthusiasts and those who aren’t ARFCOM Millionaires with some affordable options.

For purposes of this game please keep your suggestions under $500. And while I have no problem with counterfeit watches as a personal choice, let’s keep this to non infringing models.

I’ll start with the classic Submariner.



Steinhart for about 380 Euros plus shipping - Swiss movement, dive rated, solid construction, available in a variety of options.

At the $500 ish price you nailed it with "Steinhart" the next options are $1200 to $1600.

You can hit Mido and Squale under $1k if you look around. There are also some super nice Hamiltons under $1k.

Islander Manhasset, probably in black for everyone who isn’t my wife. The black one comes on a more “correct” oyster style bracelet.
