Best below $500USD collection?

Hello Crunchers! I’m looking to expand upon my current collection and add some of the best watches under $500USD in each category of watch:

  • Dress

  • Beater

  • Dive

  • Everyday

  • Travel/GMT

  • Field

  • Flieger

  • Chronograph/other complications

Here’s what I’m looking to add outside my current collection:

  • Dress: Seiko SRPB77

  • Beater: G-Shock GM2100

  • Dive: Citizen Promaster

  • Everyday: Tissot PRX Quartz

  • Travel/GMT: Seiko SSK003

  • Field: Bulova 98A255

  • Flieger: Seiko SNK805

  • Chronograph: Bulova Lunar Pilot

What would you swap out or add?

Buy lightly used, save money and get higher quality watches 👍🏻

For example I paid £500 for my Willard .

Happy hunting mate 🥳

I'd swap the GMT to a Glycine Airman & the Flieger for a Laco Augsberg 39.

Yes, I picked to swap out Seikos specifically to add more diversity.

That's fair. Thanks for the recommendations.

I don’t think so, but variety is also nice. Thanks for sharing!
