Current state of collection

Wait...

...now I see 😜

Looks nice.

I love the full metal G-Shock.

But hard to tell what to buy next. Because I don't know to wich brands you have access and your budget.

But I guess the usual suspects as like Citizen, Seiko and Casio wouldn't be a problem.

I recently ordered a Zeppelin 8888-2. I was quite convinced by the look and quality.

Even the prices start from around 300 Euro, it's easy to find them with high discount...at least here in germany.

Thank you so much for the lovely comment.

I'm planning on buying a cheap alternative to the Swatch speedmaster aaaaand I'm gonna have to save for a long time to get nice seiko dive watch.

I'm really satisfied with the gsteel b500 gshock.

I highly recommend it

I've checked for some possible Chronographs. Even with Quartz movement it is tough to find cheap chronos. The thing with the Moonswatch is actually not the price. It is what you get for the price. It's actually a really low quality watch. It's hard to find cheaper, but for slightly over 300 Euro you can get much better watches.

Anyway...here are few alternatives.

Most of those you can often find even cheaper sometimes. Especially if they are replaced by new model series.

Seiko SSB427P1

Also this one I found often for around 250 Euro

More classical than sporty like the Moonswatch, but I wanted to show the Iron Annie watches to. It's a affordable german brand.

Also more classical, but interesting and good looking and currently on dicount. Elysee is also a german based brand. Their official retail prices are way to high, but often they offer their models for aroun 50% discount. Which is a realstic price.

Elysee has also more sporty Chronographs, but I found them often for the half price at around 190 Euro.

Competition from the own Swatch brand, the night flight

Also check for HANOWA watches. It's an affordable swiss watch brand. Also here I wouldn't go for the official price. Their watches are often discounted on grey market dealerships. But quality is totaly fine.

Those who are come also quite close to the MoonSwatch style are those from Sternglas. Usually they cost almost same as the Moonswatch, but the quality is way better and all Sternglas watches came with sapphire. Sternglas is also located in germany.

Another vintage style is the Gigandet (pronounced: "Shee-Shun-Dae") Speed Timer . They are also located in germany. Gigandet is homage watch brand like Steinhart. It's from their old model line. For 100 Euro the cheapest.

Another one to mention the Glycine combat sub chrono gl1044. They can be often found for around 250 Euros/Dollars. But what's crazy: I couldn't found them anymore on the official Glycine website. That would be very bad for Glycine if they would had discontinued it. But definately one of the best for the money.

But these are all brands and models which are available in germany. You should also keep in mind taxes and shipping fee when ordering from outside.

Wow thank you so much for this detailed information. I can't say how grateful I am.

I gotta go through it several times.

Thank you for putting in so much time and effort my friend ❤
