Hello. If budget around $500 to $1,200, any suggestions? Thanks.

Type and brand? How about something tough?

Thanks, but prefer a more common/well-known brand.

Seiko? The new SBDC061/63 MM200. 6R15 caliber.
Looks not bad...

Guys, any reviews about Tissot VisoDate? How much will it cost me; if I'm going for the Milanais strap.

Seiko and tissot more known than ball. Well brand recognition really subjective.

Tissot uses a ETA 2836 standard grade. Seiko 6R15 read around. Many newbie go buy auto watch later complain not running accurately

This ulu brand having sale all watch on SW which is Eta clone. Prices low warranty long.

Stowa Antea offering eta 2892 but $200-400 above your budget. U don’t know Ball don’t think u will know Stowa. I personally will go for stowa.

There's a new line called Antea 1919, quite nice actually, clearly Daniel Wellington inspired. Within his budget.

My advice is just buy second hand. Not much point buying first hand one. :s13:

I have the SS/SS bracelet and the SS/resin. Just mixed and matched. Will share more photos some other time! :)

I have both as well but unable to remove the bracelet from the watch. Could you share how u remove? Screwdriver on both side and turn?

Picked up a new piece today just to try. Not something I'd normally buy but no regrets. Very comfortable and light.

Had been looking out for this since it was announced a few months ago. The overall colour scheme is a bit more subtle than some of the photos on the web.

Screwdriver on both sides, YES! The screw is quite tight initially. There’s still a tube holding the strap/bracelet to the case after removing the long bolt.

Have fun!
