Grand seiko on a budget?

Does someone knows watches that are lower price than Grand Seiko but deliver almost as good experience? Like beautiful case design, dail, bracelet,polish and brushed elements.

From my non-expert thoughts....Maybe Royal Orient, a few Citizen series 8 watches, and some Ball watches?

This Citizen (NB1050-59A) has also been on my wish list...apparently it has a really nicely finished case for the money.

Orient Star are a good bet I really like mine.

Seiko Presage is another good bet for beautiful dials at lower prices.

Formex not the same thing but very nice plus a really comfortable case

Image

And again something very different and a little harder to get hold of but Studio Underd0g are fantastic and much more affordable than all of them.

I apologize for not specifying! I look for something around a 1000 dollars

That purple dial is beautiful 👌🏻

Maybe Seiko presage series could offer a lower price tag with a selection of beautiful dials and colors 🧐

Quartz Grand Seiko. 9F is one of the best quartz movements ever produced, fully serviceable with tons of proprietary elements that set them miles ahead of 99.9% of quartz watches. You get all the incredible finishing and build quality, inside and out.

I paid $850 USD for my SBGX063, best money I’ve spent in watches.

Check out the new Citizen Tsuyosa.

You can get the Longines Flagship for under $900 USD:

Tissot also has some nice options in your price range.

You could have a look at this Seestern. There are less than $300,- on AliExpress.

You should consider the #casio #oceanus T200. It has a #zaratsu finished case and perpetual calendar, all for less than $400!

Check some of the "baby" GS. The Presage Seiko collection. There's some hidden gems in that line, including the Sharp edged. 👍
