I think Casio and Orient getting top 16 in this price point is an amazing achievement considering all of these models are under 250$ while their competitors are above 500$.

I agree, but to me it’s not surprising. I have two Orient Bambino’s One with a green dial, and one with the Pearl white. They are my “everyday go to’s” even though I have a couple of carriers and some Longines and Tissot which are significantly “more watch!” There’s something about their elegant functionality, at their price point, which gives me a certain peace if not joy! I’m just not as relaxed when I’m wearing my Cartier’! Their Kamasu dive watch looks and feels really good on the wrist, and is on my list. I own a Hydro Conquest which is a bit higher spec, but I actually prefer the fur. finish and size of the Kamasu. Orients got it going on!

I been thinking about the Seiko Green Alpininst. Seiko makes many watches. Many are good looking. The Green Alpininst I believe is a watch Men like looking at. It is a steel watch that looks like a classic. Not too dressy but dressy enough. It is not a diver but a field watch. But has the strength of a diver. It is original looking with out being a Submamariner clone. It is a solid watch which people can afford without feeling they settled for less. It is unique. There are few watches that you look at that you admire it's looks after bought it. I even like it better than the Grand Seiko watches. That is why it came in second in your survey. I own several vintage Omega watches. I like vintage Omega watches. But the Watch which is not over priced is a watch brings me pleasure. It is one those rare watches that come by that you know is a winner!

I had a PRX automatic with the blue waffle dial (very nice looking and comfortable to wear) and it developed helicopter rotor so I had to send it in for repair. Them my MIDO with basically the same movement developed the same issue. I sold both watches. I also have an Alpinist that looks very much like the one in the story. It’s been great. It will be a long time before I pick up another watch with any variant of the powermatic 80 movement

I bought the Mido used so I don't really know how long it lasted before developing helicopter rotor. I also have a Citizen Tsuyosa which is IMO a better all around watch than the PRX. The citizen suffers from a crappy clasp on the bracelet, but in pretty much every other way is equal to or better than the PRX, and I've never had a Citizen/Miyota movement go bad like that. Both the Mido and the PRX were great to look at and wear, but that Powermatic80 (or whatever MIDO calls it when they use it) is a dealbreaker for me.

I will probably buy the new 43 mm version because the dial is so damn stunning. The Alpinist was very comfortable and so was the Khaki. I wore the Khaki the most because it is really an every day watch. The Alpinist due to it being green I wore it not as often. I will probably buy them both again but in different models. So basically I will buy them all again one day lol.

Without a doubt this is missing some great watches. Christopher Ward, farer, micro brands that could be considered such as zelos. This is basically just major brands for under a $1000. So much more that could have been done with this. Maybe you could do another video that isn’t just major brands :)

Microbrands and indie brands would have opened up another can of worms and they are less known by collectors so it would be hard for something in that range to win out against mass produced products given just familiarity. We can do a bracket of solely micros and indies in the future as that would be a fun one.

So many micro brands,choice is good but I've been collecting & immersing myself in watch videos & I'm always hearing about a watch I never heard of before. What I like about collecting; you can really express yourself & most ladies & gentlemen that collect watches are just that..ladies & gentlemen!

Just on my own personal ranking of watches i like and can afford responsibly, my top 2 is the tissot prx and seiko alpinist so im very happy that those are the watches in the final round. But I am surprised that alpinist was 2nd place. I thought it was a very niche watch that not a lot of people will like. That was a very happy surprise.

The Bulova Lunar Pilot is an amazing watch that, IMO, often doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Maybe it's looked down on for being a quartz watch, and I am certainly guilty of thinking that at one point. But the 262 kHz movement is an impressive piece of engineering. The second hand sweeps more smoothly than even a 36000 bph Seiko or Zenith movement, almost approaching Seiko Spring Drive level smoothness. The accuracy of ±10 seconds _per year_ is mind boggling. You can even easily adjust (using the pushers) the positioning of the central seconds and 1/10th second hands if it ever starts to go out of alignment. The 43mm version is still a fairly big watch, but will definitely work on a much larger range of wrist sizes than the original 45mm version. And it is all put together with better fit and finish than usually found in its price range. Overall, it's a much better "budget Speedmaster" than the _actual_ budget Speedmaster.

It's funny that in my last buy, I've had to chose between the Tissot Gentleman and a Seiko Cocktail time and they got matchup against. I've chosen the Gentleman for versatility and specs (and it delivers) but man that Cocktail time is gorgeous.
