Coolest looking watch under $500

here's an update as to what i've bought or planned on buying...prices lean more towards the sub $300 (prices found on ebay) range but i'm all about the interesting/unique looking. No big brands or high end stuff but its still very fun, and I've stumbled across some interesting pieces. Some of which may have been mentioned before (oops). Hope you guys find one you may like!

I like this one a lot. Will definitly have to keep this one in mind.

 

What were you thinking of listing it for?

 

I bought this Skagen last year, I like it for the price point!

I put it on eBay two weeks ago. It went for $240. The new owner got a great deal and is happy, so I am happy.

As a side note, it was working perfectly on its original battery from 2006. Go Seiko!

 

Received as a Christmas gift.

That's pretty cool. How do you like it?

 

I like it a lot, it's the right size and the first "watch" that I've worn in almost ten years. It has a FM radio built in as well.

Mine looks exactly like the picture in the top left.

 

Just got this from Chris @ VTC, definitely one of my coolest and decidedly under $500. Thanks Chris!

I really like the chronograph face on the one in the middle.

Very nice. Are/were you in the Marines? Please don't take it wrong if not; I'm just curious if any connection or if you just liked the design.

 

No, just a healthy respect and admiration for our armed services members. I loved the design and according to the box at least, a portion of the purchase price goes to supporting the Marines. In any case, it's cool as hell.

 

Understood; kudos!

 

That's another thing cool about it, there are 18 clock faces to choose from. Simply a settings change...

Just came across this brand "Haurex" supposedly its Italian...pretty price friendly. some nice styles anyone know much about them? I was thinking about this one...I was getting it for $235

Haurex CR356UNH Magister Automatic

 

reserved one of these last week.
already looked for another strap, i don't get how they can put a black strap on a brown-faced watch.....

 

can't wait until those start falling in price!! or at least appear 2nd hand....

 

Picked this up for under $100.

I like it, I like the concept of the tarnishing bronze (though all the bronze on my boat goes to green after a while, hope the watch doesn't.) What I absolutely don't get is the Kauri forest wood under the back glass. What purpose does this serve, other than to obscure the view of the movement and exploit the wood from trees that are now protected? That is insanity.

Nice looking from the front.

 

Like it. I like Skagen for the clean modern design they usually go for. Most of my watches have bracelets, but I picked up this one for the leather strap (and, of course, I liked it.) Looks like it has the same movement as yours. Stainless, leather, 55 bucks... what's not to love.

Ya, this watch is pretty awesome, especially for the price. Lucky I was able to grab one.

 

Nice watch.

The Zep you sold me was also very nice - and under $500.

 

I've had my eye on a few of the Zeppelin pieces. Great looking watches.

 

any updates fellas?
