Cheapest Place to Buy Automatic Watches

LRNGeezus on 02/11/2018 - 20:32

Where is the cheapest place to buy budget automatic watches? I'm currently looking for a reputable automatic watch (preferably 50m water resistant) to last me a few good years. If push comes to shove I don't mind getting a 30m water resistant one but my budget is $120 max. I've currently got my eyes set on a Seiko 5, but do u guys recommend something better?
This is the one I'm tempted to buy

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    I've purchased watches from creationwatches and skywatches. No issues.
    Highly recommend a Seiko 5 for someone's first automatic watch. Great Value

      Thanks for the input, if there are no other suggestions I will surely be getting a Seiko 5

    Try and find @WatchNerd or @PJC, they seem to be avid posters of deals on watches and know their stuff. They would be my go to guys…

    Also @Mathnerd who posts a lot of watch deals, but is penalty boxed, so don’t know if they would be much help. :/

      Seconded seiko 5 - go to jomashop, I just bought a nice citizen from there. Amazing price on the seiko 5 in the halloween sale - not sure if it's still on?

    I started with orient (sun and moon); then got seiko 5 series for entry level. Moved onto swiss movement victorinox and tissot; however I still prefer my seikos over entry swiss movement watches. I prefer to buy from AD overseas - but after gst law im not too sure :(

    Ah, chrono24 is good!

    I am suprised no one mention Starbuy.. I bought a fair few watches from them in the past couple years. Great value for money!!

    They had a Seiko Turtle on sale for $250 not too long ago and often have Citizen Eco Drive on special. I got myself a Mini Turtle and a normal Turtle for $350 and $250 each. And yes it's not a mistake the Mini cost $100 more.
