Okay, trying to decide. White or origianal black?

Been having this urge to pick up some inexpensive 70-80s Tank dress watches to go with some outfits. So snatched these 5 dollar watches this morning. But found a little gem in this Elgin Swiss Tank. Nice heft to this watch. So now we are onto some cleaning and polishing and taking down to my jeweler for bracelet fit and new batteries and will be ready to rock.

What is a good budget first watch that can be used in both a casual and formal outings?

I wanna find a good flight watch but i dont know what to get i would like something with a lesther band but can be dressed up and dressed down and if you know any canadian made ones let me know

The Seiko 5 series occupies a strange place in my collection. I have two of them and they wear well. They are recognizable by non-collectors and aficionados alike. The movement is the standard for sub-$1000 watches the world over. There some great color ways ranging from bold to quiet. It has some drawbacks, though. The bracelets leave much to be desired (although I don’t care for bracelets anyway). The Hardlex is not as nice as a sapphire crystal used on watches at the same price. The SKX series was arguably more iconic and the Islander watch series has followed the SKX design philosophy more closely. The lume is average. I recently got rid of my PVD/black dial because it was unreadable except in my office. Still, these watches are here to stay and they belong in just about any collection. Do you have one? Do you like it? Hate it?
