What is that technique?

Money from parents

I think Tissot has to be bang for back along with Hamilton etc. the PRX and new Chemin Des Tourelles, Le Locle, Gentleman ie powermatic 80s etc., have stepped things up a notch.

Unfortunately non grand seikos can also cost that

The new model Chemin Des Tourelles has to also put them above whelming

So many people are missing the point here

The Tissot gentlemen’s is far too bulky and cumbersome

What’s the black seiko on the Milanese?

PRX comes in 35 mm

Excellent summary. I’m fairly new as well but I would add to OP that quartz is generally cheaper than automatic (exceptions apply) and quartz also tend to be thinner - at least at the lower price end (again, more exceptions).

Putting ‘noob’ on a collection that many people here will never be able to afford isn’t the best idea.

Traska good value?

You should add Orient and Certina to the great value section
