    Same here. Hell, I'd have a hard time spending $100. It tells me the time on my phone :innocent0

    Each person has to determine what value they will put in a given item. But this is a gun forum, and Hi-point will 9mm the same as Glock for a 1/4 of the price of glock. I am not buying a Hi-Point Regardless of how reliable it is.

    I know, I know....only reason I'm considering it is I wear business suits in my line of work. I regret to say that "image" is important to some folks (forum members excluded, I'm talking about potential clients.)

    There are numerous affordable automatic dress watches in the 300-500 range. In that price point you can find high quality quartz movements all day.

    My omega would look good on your wrist.

    That is a beautiful watch and I agree it would make me beautiful (okay, maybe you didn't write that). But as someone just pointed out, it's a gun forum and I will allocate my resources to that. I got in on the Lou RIA 1911. And then I'm thinking about a sub-compact.

    Well, you buying this watch would allow me to complete my AR build. So it's a win win in the gun forum

    Yup.

    You can get a lot of different Hamilton offerings in that price range with good auto movements as well. Something from the Jazzmaster or American Classic lines would work well for an elegant but understated dress watch.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I will take a look.

    Hey! They are a well regarded brand with a large following. Which of their watches do you have? There is a ton of talk about them on Watchuseek.com. Which model do you have? Automatic or quartz?

    I have the C4 -Battle of Britain Memorial Flight timepiece. They made 100 of them for the pilots flying in the Memorial Flight. Somehow one of my wife's relatives (she's a Brit) found one and thought I would like it. Its pretty high quality and I like it but I don't wear watches so it sits in my drawer gathering dust.

    Looks like they don't sell the C4 anymore. I think in 2011 they were pretty much a small time manufacturer. I remember looking up the watches and none of them were over $400. Now it looks like they have gotten popular with their models being well over $1k.

    I like how the hands have the queen's crown on them. The detail of the watch is nice.

    Nice watch. I like the utilitarian/pilot/chrono look, with the strap. Man I would put that one in a regular wrist rotation.

    I know I posted a pic of my Invicta 9937 Pro Diver earlier in the thread, but this is a pic I took just a few minutes ago, and this has the new bezel insert plus the refreshed brushing on the bracelet, although I did that a couple of months ago, so it has a few new scratches on it. No worries though - if it ever gets as ugly as it was before I brushed it, I can just Scotch Brite it again and it will look good as new.

    Not too shabby for a watch that's been a daily wear watch for the better part of 7 years.

    I had to laugh. Since I bought a watch from worldofwatches.com, they email me almost every day. Today they sent me an email and advertised their financing. I wonder what kind of financial condition I would have to be in to decide that financing a watch is a good idea.

    Not saying I do it, but people finance $50000 trucks for 7 years that depreciate much more than a fine watch.
