 (1) In the "disposable" watch category, go with Alpha. Best prices on eBay and through http://www.alpha-watch.com/. My new favorite Alpha is this one, which I call the Alpha Zodiac:





(2) Trawl the sales boards regularly on TimeZone.com and PMWF.com (and others). I scored this Tissot Seastar 1000 in excellent condition and with all packaging. It's a great watch, and I paid only $250. (I love the off-center exhibition window on the case back.)

 

 







(3) Invicta takes a beating for a lot of its watches and business practices, but it does occasionally turn out a watch that hits on all cylinders. For example, the 1948 series (latest iteration) is all Swiss made and doesn't have a clunker in any of the three models available (if you can still find them available, that is).







(4) I also bought the Locman 1970 automatic, and it's a great piece. Definitely an ideal watch for people who love big watches.
