Ooh! That got it. Similar idea but I guess they're called Pearlmaster 39s, and it's sapphire, which explains the color gradient

oh yeah, those. I guess those are like 5% less gauche

rainbow daytona in white gold is passable if you live in LV IMO.

puke, those are atrocious

If I wanted gemstones on a watch, I'm not putting them on the bezel

No more full price for the Orient Mako USA. Long Island watch has them for $159 on the black and $169 on the blue and white.

Rainbow Daytona looks way better than the Pearlmasters

I was hoping that spoiler said

That would have been much better

Looking for a good watch under $300, preferrably on Amazon and used or new doesn't concern me.

Actually I would really like a automatic with a sapphire crystal face and a stainless steel band. I really like the Rolex look a likes, but are they around $500?

Steinhart Ocean 1 is about $500.

Seiko Blue Sumo?

Keep an eye on www.watchrecon.com for a while and you'll see some Steinharts in your range, might need a little patience.
Also search for Debaufre, which sells a re-branded version of the the Ocean 1.

I finally saw a ClownMasterII in the wild today on the plane. It was much harder than I thought it would be to keep from laughing at the guy.

Definitely this. It gets brilliant reviews.

Amazing thanks you guys a ton that's exactly what I was looking for

X post from NHL SE. Pretty cool.

$450 wow!!

So I was given a Seiko watch around 5 years ago from my girlfriend at the time. Wore it <10 times, and has been sitting in the box ever since. I broke it out last week, and wanted to put a black rubber strap on it, instead of the ss bracelet. The jeweler I bring the watch to replaces the battery since it was dead, but tells me the watch is broken as it still won't run. I called an authorized Seiko dealer in NYC that does repairs, and he said not to bother even bringing it in, since I can just buy the same model new for ~$200. Apparently, Seiko doesn't make individual parts for that movement, so the whole thing would have to be replaced, costing $200. What's the play? Get a 2nd opinion? Is there somewhere I can sell it for parts?

Picked up a Steinhart Marine 38 last year. Absolutely love it. I'll have to post pictures sometime.

Sounds like a junker.

No need to post pics of the Marine 38. I got you covered.

longines worth the extra money over the steinhart?

I had a fantastic experience with Steinhart.

@Gaddy, the one on the left looks fantastic

It's not as close to the Rolex look as the Steinhart, but if you want a quality value automatic diver with a sapphire crystal and stainless steel band, I'd suggest taking a look at the Orient Blue Mako USA that is at it's lowest price ever right now from Long Island Watch. You might be able to get an additional 5% off with your first order, bringing it to about $160.
