I own two Oris, some Invictas, and many-many-many Seikos (all are automatic). The Seikos are by far the best value and are very durable. Some of my Seikos are from the early 70's and still going strong. |

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive
Hard to beat a Seiko as I have had one for almost 25 years and has never,,ever given me trouble. I have about 3 movados but that will put you into the uber pricing, unless you get them in the Carribean,,super cheap with no tax.

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive
I've had my Pulsar for going on 24 yrs. Three crystals and I don't know how many batteries, but it's my daily wearer and has taken a beating....

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive
I wear a Seiko military auto to work and a Citizen eco the rest of the time. Have a few other Seiko's from 5 years(quartz) to almost 30(Auto) years old. Never had any trouble with either brand.

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive*
I quit wearing a watch about 7 years ago when I finally quit working for someone else. It felt like a shackle to me. But, my preference then was a Wenger brand watch. There are some awfully good deals on these if you search around and they are a quality piece.

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive*
My wife bought me a watch from Kenneth Cole - I've had it for about 6 years now - it is a really nice watch and she paid about $150 for it. I still get complimented on it regularly.

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive*
Got a Bulova Marine Star back in February and love it. Haven't had to change the time on it once. Just curious, roughly how often do you have to change your batteries? Haven't had to change them yet on mine.

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive*
I have a Freestyle Shark Diving watch. I paid under 50$ for it 15 years ago. It still works. Ive had to replaced the batteries twice and the wrist band once. I almost never take it off. I've done everything with it and it still works.

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive*
any of you watch guys have any info on bueche-girod watches?
Was given one as a gift a long time ago (circa 1995), was thinking about starting to wear it again. Haven't worn a watch in eons. |

Re: What are good watch brands *not uber expensive*
They use to be made in Biel up till the late 1970's and moved to Geneva. I think their hayday was a while back (at least while they were in Biel). If your watch is from the 60's, it should be pretty well decorated movement.

No, 1995. Still a very nice looking watch, don't know about the movement.
