Seiko SRPE’s are really hard to beat when looking for an affordable GADA (go anywhere do anything). They are suitable for many styles.

How do you like it?? Looks great!

It’s definitely up there, imo. A new customer of mine had one on the day I met him, I called it out from 10 yards away.

Most definitely take a look at the citizen bm8180-03e. It’s thin, light and small at 37mm with a 18mm lug width.

Definitely look at the Seiko SRPE line. They’re about $230 and look really, really nice.

I have 4 sub $500 watches. I think 5 is the best number for me, but that would include starting over with the exception of my Seiko SRPE55 which is my daily. 3 black dials, 1 white and 1 blue.

Fucking awesome. I just watched it 12 times and I’m going to show my wife 12 more times when I get home.

My first watch!

I really wish Citizen would update this line with some new sizing, colors and materials. I don’t know what they’re thinking. They are way behind the curve. Period. They finally make a smaller pro master and then call it a women’s watch. Hello? Anybody home??

Absolutely check out the chevron knit by Crown and Buckle. They have some amazing colors. They are single pass and use a ladder buckle to adjust for a perfect fit.
