I love seiko watches. I dream of a grand seiko spring drive.
Watches
For watch enthusiasts to discuss everything related to watches and horology.
Those look great, but holy is the price a lot more.
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.
