My first watch ever was a kids Timex and being a kid it didn't last long plus they were all windups back then..
Then as an adult I moved to the ever popular cheap ass Kmart crap watches (around $10) and wore them for years till the wheels fell off.
About 10 years ago or so i bought a big old dinner plate Invicta quartz movement piece of crap, but it lasted about 8 years or so. I got tired of changing batteries every year or so so...I also have another old Invicta I've never worn..still in the box, but it's ugly and clunky.. Now I have an Orient Bambino II, automatic movement..Nice, quality watch and seriously considering an Orient Sun and Moon V3.. also an automatic
Not necessarily from this seller.. https://www.ebay.com/itm/303783425927?epid=22026983954&hash=item46bae73787:g:JgIAAOSwsOBftpJl
For the price range Orient watches are really nice made by Seiko with great reviews..
I love watches and still wear them all the time. I like to rotate them around depending on where I'm going...
Casio G Shock that's chunky, clear, & black really cool looking
Casio Bond style watch that I love and beat to death
Hamilton Field Khaki Automatic Black Face with Brown indices
Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow white chrono with blue indices
Seiko Samurai Save the Ocean with a custom "Art of War" brown leather strap. LOVE this watch
Movado Museum Automatic
Citizen chrono with khaki strap
Solar Seiko Chrono with khaki strap
Anyway, I love and enjoy watches - particularly either automatics or strangely durable quartz pieces. How they work, the designs, usage as a tool for different professions, etc. I would LOVE to add a Graph Zeppelin Panda. Not expensive, but looks cool! Microbrands interest me, but maybe not to the degree where I would buy one.
My next watch will either be a Rolex Blue Milgauss or one of the Ball pieces. My problem with the Milgauss is that it is very Miami Dolphins. I love the look, just not how "Dolphiny" it is. I keep wanting to get into a Breitling, but the fact that the Rolex stuff at that cost hold and appreciates in value where a Breitling does not is impossible to ignore. Tudor Black Bays are gorgeous, too, with leather straps (controversial on a diver, but I love it).
