Got my first ever watch, aside from super cheap ones. I am very happy.

I used to wear watches on my right wrist but had to change to the left as using a mouse all day is awful with a decent watch on. Guess it’ll take a while to get used to it.
Edit: I just noticed that by complete chance I took the image when the seconds were at 0. I did not plan that.
Seiko in general has gone up in price a lot in recent years. The cheap and cheerful Seiko 5 were killed and resurrected as a mid-range sub-brand, and mid-range (like Presage etc) are now pushed twice the price they were a few years ago. There are no entry-level mechanical Seikos anymore.
Orient seems to be the last true Japanese manufacturer that still offers sub-$150 mechanical watches.
Thanks for mentioning Orient. Never heard of them but they have some beautiful watches.
You're welcome :) I love Orient and own a couple, and they also have some stunning pieces in their mid-to-high end Orient Star range.
Yeah I was drawn to this one
Now I want it I should curse you lol.
I bought my Seiko snk803 on Amazon for like 66 bucks 10 years ago. Why is this watch now showing up as a 200 dollar watch? Why did the prices go up so much?
Because they're out of stock now.
