Thread: What types of watches do you like?

I also have two Seiko divers from the 1990s which I wear and like the looks of. What is impressive I think, is the Seiko automatic dress watch my parents gave me in the 1970s which has never had a service, and starts up with a shake. Seikos are well made.

Here's a watch which may be of interest to military enthusiasts. It's my father's Waltham, marked on the back Ord. Dept. USA. with an OG serial number. It was issued to him by the US Army during WWII, which survived Normandy and the Battle of the Bulge as well as fighting in Belgium and Czechoslovakia. He earned a Bronze Star and Purple Heart as a Sgt in a Heavy Machine gun unit, Charles S. Smith. I miss him.

Purchased an Invicta Pro Grand Diver about two years ago from a well known online time piece shop. For $99.00 (current price) it's a great bang for the buck. Solid, heavy stainless case and bracelet, Seiko Caliber NH35A automatic movement, display back. So far one of my favorite watches and still runs great. If it breaks, for $99.00 I'll just buy another.

Yea, it's amazing how little a watch can cost and they make a profit. Of course when most everything is made in China and they use a basic Seiko mvmt and assemble it in Panama it can be cheap.
