Best Value (bang for your buck) watches

[BigPicture]

I am a firm believer in getting good value for my $ and although watches tend to be very personal choices I do believe we can agree that certain watches are better value than others.

Id like to start this thread by highlighting the Tissot Ballade Powermatic 80 COSC

https://www.tissotwatches.com/en-my/shop/tissot-ballade-powermatic-80-cosc.html

This watch has a anti magnetic silicon balance spring, 80 hour power reserve and COSC standards for about RM4k!

Heres another, the Seiko Presage SARX033 in house movement, sapphire glass, specially treated metal (hardened) for about RM3500. Build quality and finishing (reviewers say) rivals in Swiss watches 3 times more expensive.

Which movement does this one use? Also does it use sapphire or hardlex?

All Seiko watches represent best bang for buck, in my opinion.

Actually I should have mentioned that I was posting bang for buck premium/luxury class mechanical watches. I would consider seiko and citizen to have watches of that class but not Casio or times. The seiko I posted was a presage line which is the highest non- grand seiko.

Thanks for your clarification.
 I removed my post to ensure the thread can be more focused on the watches that the thread is discussing about.

Best value imho is the Seiko 5, where else can we get everything for less the RM500?

[Cocas]

Seiko 5 Sports would be the good choice!

I have 3 pieces so far and they were bought at different times and places. But their sturdiness and durability still the same. Their design also never out of fashion.

I will put up their get together photo later.

SARB033, with 6R15 movement, sapphire crystal, 50-hour power reserve and superb finishing is great value for its price.

My lovely Seiko 5 Sports

Hamilton and high end seiko both great value luxury watches. I would also consider Frederick constant. Especially their ultra thin moonphase.

If you're lucky enough to get this watch, it is watch is sold out in Malaysia.
Online sellers selling for 2x original cost in less than 2 years, legend in recent times.

Omega seamaster 300m diver or tudor blackbay if you like dive bezel watches, Omega speedometer professional if you like chronographs, and consider some nice bell & ross like the vintage series if you like something in between.

Seiko will always be one of the most valuable watches in my dictionary. I might even consider going into seiko house clocks when my house is ready 

Affordable yet decent in their quality. Orient and gshock come close to second. Well, those higher ends do have better quality but this will be my go-to-watches when I travel overseas or doing my technical work.
