My kid [pride & joy] needs a daily beater. He's doing well in college and paying for it himself [thank God!

].
Bought him a Tissot PRS 516 auto that he loves but my heart skipped when he told me he wore it in the ocean. So the requirements:
-diver [screw down crown]
-bracelet, he'll only wear an ss bracelet
-like to have box, papers, and LNIB condition
-Swiss auto
-[here's the impossible part] I only want to spend a couple hundred bucks.

I know It's unrealistic but anybody have a preloved watch they are looking to sell?
Thanks for reading,

Dan, I bought this Seiko SKX031 for a beater and its a great watch and its automatic. They can be hard to find but you can usually get one for $100-125

Robb · 15 December 2007, 05:23 AM

Dan, there is one on overstock.com for $150.29 BNIB. Retail is $275.00

A year or so ago, I took a chance and ordered that watch off ebay from a guy in Singapore. Got it for $69. I wear it when washing the car.

Seiko is the best bang for the buck out there.

PM me, Dan!

I think I have what your son needs.

Dan Pierce · 16 December 2007, 03:57 AM

Great suggestions guys!

And special thanks to Bo for his kind offer.

Think I'm gonna let my son select a watch from a few in my modest collection [no Rolex of course

]. I have more than I need and he'll be getting something from the ol' man too.

Thanks again everybody,
dP

That's an excellent idea!

And here I was going to talk SAR.

Better say no Rolex and no Tudor!

I will let this bad boy go for $200.

Dan, take a hard look at an Invicta 9937 Pro Diver. Bulletproof Swiss ETA 2824 movement, sapphire crystal, solid SS construction, excellent finishing. Lists for around $800 but available for around $300 on eBay, etc. Mine's been through hell and back and the bracelet is a cosmetic disaster now, but it still keeps ticking along and still keeps time. And your son will probably get a kick out of the clear caseback.
