I'm a budget collector. The idea that you can't get a good quality watch for under $1000 amuses me. What does a watch do? It keeps time. A Casio G Shock that sets itself to the atomic clock every day keeps perfect time for $100 or so. EVERYTHING else about a watch boils down to style and name dropping.

That being said, I probably have 30 or so watches that I cycle through on a regular basis and quite a few more that rarely get worn. Almost all were bought used for less that $200. Most for less than $100. Many are worth significantly more. I lean toward old Seikos, but will buy and wear whatever catches my eye. Oh... and they all keep very good time.
