With the Holidays approaching I usually or try to buy myself a watch.  With my newest purchase just this past Monday
I'm most likely all set for now till I come across another watch or watches.  Now I'm not a rich man and that's one reason why I
like being here no one judges someone for not wearing a Rolex or Patek. I know sometimes some people can be put off by 
certain brands.  I've had multiple chances to buy a Submariner or an Omega Seamaster, But in this stage of my life I honestly
don't feel comfortable spending that kind of cash maybe in the near feature? Till now here's what I want to get.

Here are my top 10 Watches I want to get

10) Invicta Bolt Zeus Meteorite 







#9 Invicta Bolt Zeus Magnum










#8 invicta Sea Hunter Meteorite GMT 







#7 Citizen 1000m Promaster 








#6 Seiko 300m Tuna Quartz







#5 Casio Frogman GWF D-1000






#4 Seiko GMT Kinetic Explorer II












#3 Aragon Antigravity 








#2 Citizen Campanola Grand Complication 







#1 Invicta Russian Diver Nautilus with 






Bonus one I wanted to add


Poljot Basilika 







Well there's my poorman's watch wish list

Buy the Marinemaster

It’s a watch you can enjoy now and still be in your rotation later in life

True

I have to admit I've came close to that Marinemaster a few times.

+1 - IMHO your #6 is really nice

Personally I prefer it far more than any of the others.

It’s not about money, it’s about love...

...for beautiful mechanical watches, my friend. From your top ten I would prefer the Marinemaster. Or the new Seiko Dawn limited version you didn’t list. Somewhere here someone did review it ;-)

I'd also go with the Marinemaster but you're the one who has to live with your choice so go with your gut. [nt]

Some thoughts

If you are asking me, then I vote Citizen, Casio, Seiko ok; Invicta not so much. If you search the web you find many thousands of "Is Invicta any good?" questions which is not the case for most brands. That should tell you something Poljot an acquired taste. Cheers, Cazalea
