The longer I own this watch the more I like it. INEXPENSIVE... You can find for 120-150 USD online. Runs fine. I haven't checked the accuracy, but it is not an issue as I don't run trains both ways down a single track. DETAIL in face. See video... Nice bracelet, Good diameter. Not too big, not too small, fairly thin. Did I mention it was INEXPENSIVE too? Paul Visit Google.com and search for Orient CET05001W to find a retailer. I know an online bookstore that happens to have it at a very good price right now. PJ

nice watch but kinda small at 36mm for my tastes ;)...the Orient Mako sells for less and is a larger watch...and a forum fave at under $100.... This Swiss Made Locman 1970 eta 2824 a bunch of us snagged for $160. on Overstock a couple years ago still ranks high on my inexpensive list hand6.gif Attachment: 26 locman.jpg (Downloaded 154 times)

I too like larger watches, but not too large... Amazon shows the case diameter of the Mako at 41mm. It shows the CET05001W to have a diameter of 42. Both of these watches are very inexpensive, but on Amazon, the Mako is more expensive...and smaller... Paul

That would be my Casio Edifice 5-motor. Tons of functions, well-built solid link bracelet and a beautifully detailed dial. All for SGD180 (USD120 +/-).

My favorite cheap watch of all time has to be this Alpha I bought for $37 delivered 5 years ago. It has been accurate and trouble free ever since. Attachment: Alpha 1.jpg (Downloaded 120 times)
