Hello, I found this forum by accident and is fascinated by your sharing of all the various different brands and price range of watches.
Just to share my recent acquisition of a magnificent Seiko watch:
The quality and workmanship of this watch is exemplary. The finishes are meticulous with all fine detail executed carefully by Seiko’s selected master craftsman. The hands alignment are perfect. The bezel on this GS is actually made of sapphire crystal and the numbers on the bezel will grow at night.
Thanks for reading.

My brother had a huge Seiko watch and told me it cost over $1000 but I always thought he was messing with me or that someone just ripped him off big time. It was just analog, all metal with rubber wrist band (iirc), no fancy stuff, 300meters resistant.
I figured I could find one for $100, maybe $200 max, and felt bad telling him that.
I guess I just found out I was wrong
thought you'd like that story pvn

the 112 base is nice, how about a rad base to go with it?

I was at the wynn jeweler recently and i was looking at a couple of NOA watches. This is one and the other is the same in brown. I was wondering if anyone has heard of NOA. I think it is in the 3-4k range, at least that's what it was priced at there, which im sure cant be the cheapest you can get it.
opinions?

I've browsed every page and there isn't one watch that I feel I need to own but there are a few in here that are very nice. Grrr had the same watch for like 5 years and want an upgrade.
I would like a non digital, something with an orginal style but still basic form/function, not overly busy with design. It has to be slightly understated yet very good quality and build.
some hopefulls but nothing I'm in love with

This question might be most up Watchmaker's alley.
I've had this NOS 1949 Zenith for a few years and like it a lot. (Just a simple manual.)
I've avoided collecting or amassing successfully for a while now. But I'm now tempted by this Universal. (And could end up getting it as a swap for the Zenith with a good profit on my first buy.)
How does Universal measure up as a brand? I haven't done a lot of research, but it seems on a par with Zenith--no?
edit: Hmph. Not sure why my images won't show.
Zenith
Universal
edit2: think I got it above...
