Wristwatch collectors out there?

[kingcobradude]

I have a couple watches, pocket watches mostly. A couple are old railroad watches, but they need rebuilding and restoration. The one I wear is a no name mechanical with a dragon design hunter case. Keeps good time though.

Probably my next watch:

My dream watch:

With steel band

Have you looked at used pilot style watches on watch forums? You should be able to buy a cool automatic like the Seiko for under 1K. Plenty of manufacturers make similar watches and some time. Just a thought as the Breitling is up there in price.

One Breitling I'd recommend as soon as you can find one is a Quartz Navitimer. Has the look, just hair smaller and it's a Quartz. Always ready. Great price too, but are rising in value.

The first link is a 130 dollar seiko.

I would really love the breitling cosmonaut they had a few years ago.

yes, that is why I mentioned some other brands making advanced pilot watches somewhere in price between the seiko & breitling (closer to seiko side).

What brands? The only other I have seen are citizens, and nothing mechanical
