Some of the brands in the stories below may surprise you, link while others are classic value props. Sure, Seiko has long been the value champion for a wide swath of the watch enthusiast population, but don't sleep on Timex, Hamilton, Tissot, Farer, Parchie, or even cheap-as-chips options link from Casio. You could be into a brand-new watch for little more than the cost link of a cheese pizza and a large soda at Panucci's Pizza (sadly, with inflation, from 1999).
