Submariner Alternatives

After this recent spate of Rolex Submariner posts, some of you may think that I’m a bit obsessed, and you’d be right. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other great dive watches out there that would hold their own against the Rollie. I’ve posted two examples today, neither of which are from Rolex, or even Swiss for that matter. Seiko Prospex Marine Master 300m...

Submariner Alternatives

After this recent spate of Rolex Submariner posts, some of you may think that I’m a bit obsessed, and you’d be right. But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t other dive watches that I love and that would hold their own (and at much cheaper prices). So I’ve posted two examples today, neither of which are from Rolex, or even Swiss. Seiko Prospex Marine Master 300m...

Men’s Waxed Cotton Field Coat from Lands’ End Another post for those who love traditional menswear but are on a budget. Today’s feature is a great example of the waxed cotton field coat exemplified by the Barbour Beaufort (below) or Barbour Bedale, which usually cost about $400. This version from Lands’ End not only helps the wallet ($160) but is also lighter and...

So… the Seiko Marine Master that I posted the other day is a huge bang for the buck as far as high-end divers go, but still a bit pricey at $2500. And let’s be honest, how many of us really need a watch as overbuilt as that? So in the vein of some of my other budget-oriented posts, I’ve decided to profile 3 cheaper divers that I’ve owned personally. Seiko 200m Automatic...

Men’s AE Military Watch Remember my post about alternatives to J. Crew’s overpriced military watch offering? Why pay $150 when you can buy a Timex Camper on Amazon for less than $25? One drawback of the Timex Camper, though, is the loud ticking, which my roommate Matt described to me after he bought one. Another is the fact that the Camper still has a resin case; for me personally,...
