How to spend less than $1000 on a watch that still gets the nod from watch snobs

I’ll admit this is a recurrent theme: don’t we all want to find a bargain that still gets us the #watchfam credibility we crave? Even more so, the pure joy of discovering a hidden gem that poses proper value, be it a microbrand at $500 that beats a Swiss big brand at $1799, or a sweet vintage deal. So can you still get big value and spend less than $1,000? We say YES!

To be honest, even writing about watches pretty much every damn day, I’m still incredibly focused on value. I would love to have $10,000 to splurge on a watch every other month, but even with two jobs, the joys of a family means a smaller budget. But isn’t that part and parcel of our love for wristworn micro-machinery? The hunt and discovery is what many of us live for, particularly on a limited budget.

The G-shock is killer.
But I'm afraid it and the rest are like a fart in a TimeZone Cat 5 hurricane. Not even a whiff of wow.

Casioak? Tissot with the Royal Oak's signature guillochè pattern, a watch they sell? A bunch of micro-advertorials - those will get the attention of snobs alright.

That Bamford is the most ridiculously overpriced brand out there. When I saw what they were charging for the wrenches I use I almost feinted. That told me all I needed to know about them. IMO, of course.
