This thread is gayer than full blown AIDS, bad for our brand IMO.

I'd pay a hundred or two hundred more and get a Hamilton, Tissot, or Seiko. The three entry brands in this thread are pretty much the best at that price point. But, as Yella said, if you can I'd just wait and save and get over a grand and buy an Oris. I have strong takes on best of breed at various price points.Ice_Holmvik said:What do you watch aficionados think about these watches for the pours?

250-1000 Hamilton, Seiko
1000-3000 Oris or NOMOS
3000-7500 Omega or Grand Seiko
7500-60000 Rolex
18000-80000 Audemars Piquet
22000-111000 Patek Philippe
That pretty much sums it up right there. -
That's all well and good if I was interested in such a hawt take. I don't care for the look of the Omegas so there's no value there for me. The Kirium makes my dick hard so I was wondering if there are sites to avoid or stick to in shopping for a used one.Swaye said:
TAG has some really nice watches. I do tend to agree with @YellowSnow though that once you are paying TAG dollars you should stretch a touch more and get an Omega. TAGs are nice. Omegas are legendary.minion_doog said:
What are good sites to shop used watches? I check eBay occasionally but there are a bunch of seemingly random sites I've never heard of that I find myself going down the rabbit hole on. I don't know that I'd be comfortable pulling the trigger if I found my deal on any of them.Swaye said:
Every man should have a nice watch. Doesn't have to cost a thousand bucks (or tens of thousands). Just something nice that suits you. Good luck in your hunt. Take a look at Oris. Touch more expensive, but absolutely stellar entrance into "real" watches.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Appreciate the input, Watch Sensei. I have, quite literally, never owned or worn a watch in my life. Probably will never buy anything high-end, but am thinking about something that looks nice enough for work that can still be worn casually on occassion. Needs to be 36-40mm range in size because I do not have big, meaty rowers wrists.Swaye said:Tissot and Hamilton are considered entry level "nice watches." My first "nice" watch was actually a Hamilton many years ago. I love them. I have never bonded as much with Tissot, but they make a fine watch at their price point.
edit: And don't be afraid to buy used. Some fantastic deals to be found on used timepieces. You can find watches that were originally 3 grand for less than half that.
It's not made anymore, but I've been half-assed shopping this one on and off for years;

Try Authentic Watches or Jomashop if you are fine with grey (no TAG warranty with these two but cheap prices) or for preowned just use Chrono24. I took the liberty of finding all the used blue dials for sale in the USA. There are 5 of them.minion_doog said:

I’d add Ball to the second category for a Swiss watch. There’s a growing German market you should also look into: Damasko, Stowe, Muhle Glashutte, Laco, and Steinhart produce quality watches in the ‘I can’t/won’t afford a Rolex’ category.Swaye said:

Add Gnomon and Long Island Watches to the list of reputable sellers.Swaye said:

Ball does make a nice watch. And to be fair i did mention NOMOS. But yes, Glashutte in general is one fire.USMChawk said:

Can anyone find this for cheaper than here? I'm having a hard time finding the exact same model from place to place.

Dude that's a sharp watch. I checked all my normal places and I can't find it anywhere else cheaper than 1200 bucks. I'm not saying it isn't out there cheaper but I can't find it cheaper at any of the normal places.BleachedAnusDawg said:Can anyone find this for cheaper than here?

Nice watch. Good luck. Great dial. And Oris!
