. . . the Ω tank.
Not exactly dirt cheap, but close, and runs exceptionally well. Considering it's well over 70, miraculously well.
It's my go-to watch around town. Easy to set, easy to strap on with its tailored strap and deployant buckle, light on my wrist, and easy on the eyes . . . blends well with just about every t-shirt in my closet.

What’s your ‘anti-grail’ watch?
By: KMII : March 24th, 2018-03:25
After the fascination and glamour of BaselWorld, I am interested in the opposite end of the spectrum. We all have our grails - hard to find or beyond our budget (or both) kind of pieces. At the same time there are watches without waiting lists, which stra...
Thanks for sharing this one!

Definitely an interesting piece and the central minutes chrono hand is certainly a practical touch 👍🏻
This is mine

The best value for money watch I have had since I started this hobby. The eco drive is extremely accurate, the build quality is excellent, and the bracelet is just insane. It even has divers extension. And due to the quartz movement (those who feel nauseo...

I have just placed an order for one! This is the new Longines Military watch. Each dial is unique! ...
A Basel novelty?
By: KMII : March 24th, 2018-08:18
Need to look it up in that case - looks interesting Thanks Sham!
Yes a Basel novelty

An agreeable 38.5mm with an automatic movement and priced very well!!

Yes it was a 'fancy watch' embargo and I have had to cancel my purchase of the 3820R as a result.
It was a bit tongue in cheek ;)
By: KMII : March 28th, 2018-13:36
So as to allow pretty much ample leeway in whether a watch actually gets embargoed or not Very much unobtainable for me as well, trust me
Unless of course
By: sham1 : March 28th, 2018-19:23
one is brave enough to trade in one's entire collection for one watch!!!
True!
By: sham1 : March 28th, 2018-04:05
But some of us have the means to break the embargo as often as we want to!!
Did not know that side of you, Alkiro :)
By: KMII : March 24th, 2018-08:21
So no more Corum then? I have to say I am quite intrigued by their baguette movements but have never tried one on so far... maybe time to do so Thanks for playing!
We have all our little secrets 😉
By: Alkiro1 : March 24th, 2018-09:41
Only these two Corum. But, to be honest with you, I’m still tempted by a Corum platinum ingot 😋 Best wishes Alkiro
I guess we do ;)
By: KMII : March 24th, 2018-10:43
I need to check that one out - does not ring a bell.
For me, not so much anti-grail but maybe anti-“luxury”?
By: KC74 : March 24th, 2018-08:40
To date I don’t have a grail ideal watch. The magnetism towards so called high end mechanical kind of weakened a bit lately.. Lately I have been fixated with the world of GShocks in particular JDM 1983 design models.. From having one to now four and the f...
Cooolllll 👌
By: Alkiro1 : March 29th, 2018-07:40
Best wishes Alkiro
A fascinating piece indeed...
By: KMII : March 24th, 2018-13:33
I have been often tempted but the size was a deterrent. Need to try it on again at some point. Yours is particularly cool with that colour scheme
Seiko five too
By: jml_watches : March 24th, 2018-12:00
Hi Yes Seiko five great choice - when you just want to buy a watch. Also my Emas watch is a fun one - a plastic dive all the design tropes of a diver - with none of the functionality and there are also the obligatory Swatch All interesting and all ones yo...
I have a Seiko 5 diver

Put a Hodinkee sage color strap on it--and it's really amazing for the overall price... I get compliments on it a lot--but none on more expensive watches... generally... FWIW! Seiko--at every level--is incomprehensible--just miraculous quality.
Thanks Mostel!
By: KMII : March 25th, 2018-01:26
I fully share your experience of the comments and appreciation of my watches in the ‘outside world’ does not at all correlate with the price
Nothing “anti” at all :-)
By: MTR : March 25th, 2018-00:24
My Oris Brashear. Wears phenomenally, right size, reliable and accurate. Looks sexy, has an interesting philosophy behind and ... didn’t cost a fortune. Sorry, I’m talking like it IS a grail watch. 🤗 Best, Thomas ...
LOL Thomas 😂
By: KMII : March 25th, 2018-01:28
Not at all - just a watch that does what you want of it
Fully agreed :)
By: KMII : March 28th, 2018-02:24
Better a Seiko 5 on the wrist than getting your smartphone out of the pocket every time you need to know the time
