Wristwatch collectors out there?

I think we are really talking apples and oranges here is we are really comparing Rolex and IWC to an inexpensive quartz movement.

How about some good sources for the sub $500 category?

Certina and Mido should have stuff around that price. Gevril GV2's will fit the bill; they are AP's second brand. I have seen Rado's go for that price range too. Although not quartz, Daniel Jean Richard are good value watches. They are GP's second line of watch and I have seen several go for $500.

My 2 centavos here... Invicta is a nice watch without being too expensive, but I also just picked up (at the Albany Herf last week) a new Cross watch (Rose Gold, with leather band) they had at the shop. Love it - beautiful watch! (Giving the others a rest for a few days)

poormanswatch forum is a great resource for gens under $1000 and many under $500.
