I've devoted a not small amount of time and effort digging into the world of watches below $5,000 and I always get excited when I find something good that is well under $1,000. When I first got into this hobby, all I did was live for the next $80 Casio, $300 Seiko, or $600 Bathys (or insert some other OG indie dive-adjacent brand) to arrive in the mail. Despite the passing of nearly a decade, I might still have a WatchRecon alert set up for "SKX779" (the right one will find me), and the Serica W.W.W. strikes a chord in offering a stylish and low-key presence that never seems out of style or too bold.
