I got it brand new from a reseller with papers. Plus I have a older RO in gold so I should have been be able to spot if it was a fake.

I got my Citizen Skyhawk Eco-drive for $250 so I can't complain.

Here's my watch:

It definitely looks more expensive than it really is. Got it in Thailand for $10, more than 2 years ago.

Here's the quartz Invicta I have that actually works. I'd love an auto, but have no idea which brands make an affordable auto that has the same build quality as the men's.

And the cool Nixon Isis

And what I might just get if there's no such thing as a good budget auto that works in a female size:

The Nixon Starlet

Update: Is Orient still well respected in WIS circles, if a bit unknown? I know where to get ladies autos, and they do make their own movements. I already have two watches that "pop" and are geek cool. It could be an excuse to get something dressier.

Picked up this recently, planning on getting the black version of this next.

Nice, I really liked Skagen's older watches but apprently they've had some problems with the new thin bands. Any problems with it so far?

 

[Vertigo-1]

Haven't had problems with it once it's sized properly. I've heard some people had problems with the band pulling hair but haven't encountered that yet. I like it a lot, I decided to find a watch that I couldn't feel on my wrist for work wear instead of the G-shocks I normally wear, and this is working out very nicely. With my G-shocks the first thing I do when I get to my work desk is take off the watch.

I was convinced to get the Skagen after seeing a few in person, I thought they'd be really puny but the face is a lot bigger than I expected, particularly this 342 model. Only thing I'm worried about is possible quality problems down the line, there's been quite a few stories of its hands and markers just suddenly falling off inside the case and whatnot.

So definitely buy from an authorized dealer in case you need to make use of the warranty.
