I think the straps on these were more expensive than the watches themselves
But I also bought quite some vintage SeaGulls in the $10-$20 range, excluding on average $8 shipping, when they were not as collectable as they are now:
I think the colored dials were a tat more expensive.
remember our guys going mad over the parnis white dial and then the silver dial but was a lot more to get them then plus £70 I think it was well caught mate

While I loved scoring them in auctions for sub $30 prices, I think I only bought one these watches for $70-80. Because I wanted that movement:
To be honest, I have worn the thing only 3-4 times because it's huge! And I do have multiple 44 to 47mm watches that I wore a lot.
Now I'm gradually switching back to 40mm and below

Using pounds instead of dollars really opens things up. All these were under that price, though the new straps cost more than the watches:
Orient Mako w. Sapphire Crystal Mod (Black) - 1947 Tudor Oyster - 1921 'Claridge' - Some Seiko 5's of various ages - Vostok Amphibia Blue Scuba Dude - Modded Soki & Bagelsports - Modded Orient Chicane 'Explorient' - HMT White Pilot LE - Shanghai - Vintage Citizen from 1971 - Quartz Casio dress watch - Casio G-Shock (Not sure of model, silver with analog hands) - Otron digital watch from the 70's.
