Just ordered this, nothing amazing or too expensive and I know it's quartz movement, but I like the aesthetic.

It looks a bit busy. I like the business of a Breitling Navitimer, but I don't really like this.

Fair enough, it's a tribute to this watch
And to be honest, I don't plan on spending anywhere close to 5g's on a watch until I'm much older. + I like the aesthetic of the Timex more suprisingly.

What I gathered from lurking is to no expect to buy a good Gold Watch for less then 300.
What are some brands to consider when buying one.

I've learned to take HB not so seriously.

This has a Valjoux 7750 but it cost $1060. Most watches with Valjoux start around that price and it can go up high.
$1060 is actually really good for what you get.

Anyone heard of Uniform Wares? Found them online last week, my next watch purchase will probably be from them. Loving the simplistic flow.

^ for over 300 dollars, you should be getting more than a cheap Quartz movement.
If it looks like it's worth 300, go for it.


Im buying this soon:

I think if you went with a swiss auto, you wouldn't be as annoyed with adjustments. The Chinese Seagull movements you had were probably +5 MINUTES a day lol! The Seiko was probably +30 or -30 seconds per day since it's a vintage movement and most of all... unserviced for a very long time. The Invicta probably didn't give you too much trouble with accuracy (if you got a good copy), because they have a reliable Miyota 8215 movement in them. The only problem is... Invicta probably found a way to fuck it up since they are a shit brand. And finally, you had to adjust them all everyday, because you have 7 watches in rotation. I enjoy adjusting, cleaning and changing straps on all my watches. Quartz watches feel soul-less to me.

My Chinese ones were seagull movements, ran about 1-2min fast a day. Bought each like $20 on Ebay. My entry into automatics haha.
My Invicta runs really well though, never serviced, at about +7 sec a day.
Contrary to most thoughts, I really really liked my Invicta. Ran really well, with nice hefty weight, and classic submariner look. Lume was decent too. Awesome buy for like $60, made sure to get the coin bezel version though.

Yeah thats the thing about me, I like to switch watches pretty often just to change up my look. I definitely love the essence and mechanic of automatic watches though. It's beautiful.
But for my lifestyle, I think quartz watches suit me better.

Currently rocking a sterile Swiss Ronda 515 movement field watch that I picked up super cheap. Rocking a black nato strap, but will get more soon :]

Definitely a difference. It's manufactured specifically for J Crew, only sold at J Crew.
