Wristwatch collectors out there?

The watch I ordered today has a ETA movement in it which e-man67 told me is a good movement. I don't know much about watches, but he is being a good buddy and teaching me.

I did order a cheap automatic skeleton watch for $50 the other day on 1saleaday.com just for the heck of it. It has a Chinese or Japanese movement in it or something. I just liked the way it looked.

You could've (I do not know what your ordered) had both ETA movement and skeleton dial with for an attractive price. Since Swatch owns ETA, you getting the movement for like nothing. Under $150.00! Just ribbing you a little. I love what Swatch can does; it's amazing and now they really have some value for the money.

The Skeleton that I bought is an Akribos. Have you heard anything about the brand? I don't care if it breaks in a year or so b/c I got it for $50

Can you get a nice watch for $200 or under? My daily is a cheapo Kenneth Cole Reaction that I got from Kohls. I love nice watches but know NOTHING about them. I like them big and stainless gold or titanium. No leather or rubber bands for me.

For sure you can, but not in Titanium or gold. I bought an Orient Automatic, Invicta also has some nice stuff under $200.
