    A Seiko Monster or Orient Ray, an Orient Flight and an Orient Symphony or Bambino. Easily under $500, and in all honesty, you would have three very nice watches.

    Dress - Citizen Stiletto, around $200



    Daily/office - Seiko 5 (Poor man's GS), $99



    Beater - Citizen military BM8180, around $110

    I think I could live with.
    Everyday: SARB017

    Beater: CWC G10

    Dress: Omega Constellation


    So about £750 all in, including the bracelet for the Alpinist

    Whoops, missed the new part, will have to think about dress options.

    Alpha Explorer + aftermarket bracelet $150

    This is the threesome I could live with for a very long time.

    Ticking a number of boxes to satisfy my watch forum activities.

    1. Beater - Victorinox Inox $336.00 on Jomashop
    2. Everyday - Seiko SARG013 $369.55 from Seiya

    Edit after posting pics I will change the INOX to a blue one and the Visodate to a white to give a variety of colours

    Mark the new INOX is pretty BAD A$$.
    I tried 1 on last week & I almost purchased it.Didn't have my freekin wallet w/ me.How does that happen.

    Did you see the rubber bumper.
    Wearable or just to stay in the box?

    If buying pre-owned is allowed, I could probably do it for $800-$1000.
