This is an awesome, incredibly astute comment. Many enthusiasts don't need a particular price to appreciate a watch for its merits.
Have you looked into constellations? You can pick up a nice vintage one for the price you are looking for.

He really wants a Speedmaster deep down Surprised no one has recommend one this many pages in. ( and no cat pictures yet )
Great! Now you’ve done it. 8 more pages on Speedmaster wannabes. Let’s just get this one out of the way https://bestwatchbrandshq.com/best-omega-speedmaster-alternatives-homage/
So you claim to have a Speedmaster triple date, now you say you don't have one and what's more you now say that the Speedmaster is a "stupid watch" Nice going. Come back when your chuckies have dropped.
I am thinking he just didn't understand what Standy jokingly meant when he said "real one" as in the non-automatic "Professional" being the "real one".
Hi. I like my Seiko Kinetic diver, this is a 5m62-oblo. An automatic with a power cell that charges up with use. Rated to 200m. Joe.
