Talking Watches that punch above their weight!

Bought this watch a few months ago for $250. It's Swiss, has cyrstal glass and ticks all the right boxes for me. Functional, good looking etc. What's surprised me is that eventhough it's a "cheap" watch, compared to my others, it seems to get the most comments!! I guess cause it's easy to read and quite striking, people comment.

What watch that you have, attracts the most comments or has best "bang for your buck"??

There is a whole thread on the first page here about the Seiko divers, pretty much every model in there is a ridiculous value.

Bang for buck, yep...it's either my Seiko Orange Monster or Orient Blue Mako.

SoCal is an unknown quantity at this point
Any G-Shock is worth more than it costs IMO.

That looks fantastic, I love the partially skeletonized dial.
