I always being passionate about watches but unluckily couldn’t afford any basic brand watch. My first brand watch was Casio simple Analogue. Now i am planning for something stunning. Should i go for a Seiko Automatic green dial or Casio Edifice, Fossil and Bulova?
I think depending on whether you want to collect in the long run, and explore the hobby, then you should focus on quality. This allows you to try out and test different watches, slowly realizing your taste; finding out what you like and may not like about watches. As long as they are popular models and are of a good price, they should be easy to sell if need be. This will then fund your next purchases.
