Recently, there was that thread in hot deals about a casio ~777 dollars. A lot of people recommended a Hamilton for that price range.
What do you guys think? Anything that's worth spending 1k on? I found this one that I like but never really looked into the brand

Hamilton or Tissot both under 1k with Swiss movements. Fantastic watches for the price

Hamilton is a company that has some actual history (i.e. a brand that dates back many years), and has been consistent in churning out affordable watches with a classic appeal. You could do much worse than buying a Hamilton in this price range . They are part of the Swatch conglomerate so they get real ETA movements.

I don't like gold toned watches as a general rule. I have a two toned real gold watch, and it never gets any wrist time as it feels too blingy and old fashioned. As as mentioned, if it's not real gold, it may not wear well. I like that style of watches more on a leather strap, makes it look more casual.

Awesome feedback.
The reason I chose the rose gold model is that it would replace a similar watch in my rotation. Now, you have me worried
How about this one? https://www.jomashop.com/hamilton-intra ... 55781.html
Similar model but no rose gold.
I find it hard to drop this kind of cash without having seen it in real life.
Should I expect to be hit with duties with jomashop?

Joma will have duties. Their customer service is also crap from my experience

Thx. Any other online vendor you would trust?

Tissot is another brand on about the same level as Hamilton.
This one is similar in style for less than half the price of the Hamilton: https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-le-locl ... 23-93.html
Or this: https://www.jomashop.com/tissot-watch-t ... 05800.html
Lots to choose from

I honestly didn't think of it. I'm conditioned to think that online is always cheaper than retail in the watch world.

Hamilton is an old American brand that is now owned by Swatch.

Oris used to be really good value, price has gone up by so much. My first mechanical watch was the Oris Artelier complication back in 2006 when I graduated university. I bought it on boxing day for under $1000. Now it's selling for $2750. I bought my brother a Oris F1 as a groomsman gift when I got married in 2008 for just over $500!

I picked up one of these years ago https://www.24diamonds.com/hamilton-kha ... 22924.html (not from this particular store though). It is similar to the Harrison Ford collection https://www.ablogtowatch.com/the-harris ... n-watches/

Who doesn't want to be Indiana Jones?

Tissot is good. However, I would recommend a Seiko automatic. Much better value. Don't buy the marketing that only the Swiss know how to make mechanical watches.

Seiko has been charging more and more for less and less in recent years IMO
