Orient watch seems nice too ^^ more budget...
the 49% sounds too good to be true... the price they display is after discount i suppose?
too many free gift.. seems high chance of getting AAA ???

AAA? thru authorize distributer? and those free gifts? T-shirt, Lanyard, Stickers!!! U think they cost alot of money? in fact 2 AD on big brands were doing 50% off, weak USA Econ. anyway no complains so far on watch forums. This post has been edited by patryn33: Oct 17 2010, 10:15 AM

Hmm... ever thought of ordering from SeiyaJapan or Higuchi-Inc for Japan Domestic Model (JDM) only watches? I mean they're definitely pricier but not all of them are That out of the world "Swiss Automatic Watch pricetag" more expensive to be honest. I've got the Seiko Mechanical SARB065 "Cocktail time" here after having a hard time deciding against the SARB031. Both have the rather reliable 6R15 auto movement. Elegant simplicity with excellent finishing....with small details up close. And quality movements as well
While it's definitely over the budget, there are a few models that can be bought if you're willing to stretch the budget. And for a Made in Japan, I think it's actually worth the premium. That being said, I'm also quite keen on an Automatic 5 "flieger" from Roachman.com... nice casual watch.
