    Let's face it - we've all been caught ogling over ultra fine or ultra rare movements or references - but so many of us have also found a love for the under-appreciated and affordably priced.

    Post shots of the watch of the least monetary value that you love to wear and own.

    Cost me about GBP 50. Loved it so much I gave it a full service so total cost is higher but still...
    Have several others in the same category.

    I am not too sure this quartz is acceptable here. But recently I am in love with this world timer.

    Have to say, I was at a watch dealer yesterday and a bloke walks in and is negotiating on a Patek Philippe Aquanaut, and as he's going back and forth on price he says "Mate, its only an ENTRY LEVEL Patek, its not like its a proper one". Half the guys in the shop cracked up at that.

    I love that square Girard Perregaux Gyromatic!

    For me, it's the Seiko Sports-Timer cal 6139B which I'm wearing today. Just under $200 for a delightful retro trip back to the 70's

    Besides a handful of vintage Bulova, here's yet another Seiko.

    I always have a Seiko for a beater. Here's the previous one:

    This Seiko 5717 was about 100. Really wish there were more one button chronos around - love the minimalistic design.

    Here is mine - CWC G10 issued military watch:

    [​IMG]

    It was issued in 1989. I think I paid something like 60 UKP for it going from memory.

    Cheers, Al

    Less than $90 US but it gets much wrist time.
