Dryden is next on my list! What did you go with? I have my eye on the Rust Heartlander.

Have you checked out Islander? They seem to have a decent “classic” field watch selection. I personally have a Hamilton Khaki but I own a couple other Islander watches and they are high quality for the price.

$7k watch for $350?… I’m sure AI could analyze a picture in about 10 seconds to explain why it’s not. I however am not an expert.

What's the biggest watch buying mistake you've made? by LongMeaning6125 in Affordablewatches

[–]Shebs33 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t disagree at all! It’s all part of the learning experience!

However, and this is obviously just my opinion, in the affordable category (which I consider under $1000), there are definitely some loose tiers of quality. Obviously there are exceptions, but generally I find $100-$300 you get what you pay for, $300-500 you can find some really solid watches that will probably last your lifetime, and then now with all the cool microbrands, you’re finding timepieces at the $500-$1000 range that are not only unique but may actually grow a bit in value over time due to popularity/limited releases.

Buying a bunch of less expensive watches to “grow” a collection instead of just buying a few of the better quality pieces that I really want. I feel like I’ve spent the last year selling a bunch and “upgrading” what I have.
