Haven't had to adjust it apart from daylight savings, weighs nothing, gets as wet as any of my divers and hasn't died, goes with pretty much anything, lume lasts forever, fits under a cuff, won't get stolen, legible as hell and comfy.
probably my 7t32 which is mint and boxed with papers from 1996 i got a bargain. and my Great blue with box and papers which was on the money. But bargain of the lot has to go to the Pulsar dual time chrono with all the functions of a t32 and dating to about 2001 in very good nick for 28 quid.
I'm a big chrono fan, so I'm going with the Grovana - like the red chrono second hand, and the black running seconds. On my similar chronos though, I always wish the running seconds had a bit of lume, especially on the autos, so you know they are running when you check them in the dark - I swear if / when I have my Gucci 7750 serviced, I'm going to get the running second hand lumed on the tip ...

Brand New would be the Starking AM0184SS11 with in house 28,800 movement (Shenzhen Jingrui SK1813-S) cost a whopping £36, have a few watches (orient bambino as an example) that i could have chosen under £125, but pound for pound this has to been best value and also a style that I really like.
Second hand is a harder one, can't decide between the Orient Symphony FER2700CW0 (cal-48743) which I got for £60
or the Grovana 2094.9132 (Ronda 5030.D) which cost £69, both watches were near perfect for being used. If anything, the Grovana was probably the biggest saver money wise, but I like them both, so it's hard to pick one.
Most of my collection are under £125 anyway, so I'll just pick a couple of recent examples, starting with a brand new TW Steel at £114.99 bought towards the end of last year:
And my most recent used Fat Face, at a bargain £35.00:
so nearly had an Adolf Schild powered watch, it was even in my virtual 'shopping basket' but someone beat me to the draw. It was definitely more than £9.99 though! Yours looks great, I mean even the case back looks fantastic! And the dial is glowing.
These two were under a hundred quid each pre-owned from Ebay. I was surprised that the MK1 cost me £20 more than the MKII, but that may be because the MK1 was on the original bracelet and the MKII wasn't. Neither of them are now on the straps they came with anyway.
This was my first "diver" and I thought it was a steal at £15 BIN on Ebay.
unfortunately most of my watches lie firmly beneath the £125 threshold @Jet Jetski lol ..... but here are some of bargains i picked up below £25 on ebay
bought minus bezel (£17)
found bezel on ebay (£5)
bezel fitted
and a MuDu (AS 1700 30 jewel movement)
