Truth.

As much as I love my old Seikos, there's a lot to be said for these modern homage watches. This Tandorio homage to the SBDX001 looks absolutely stunning. It features a 316L stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and an NH35 Seiko/TMI movement. Screw down crown and case back give 200 m water resistance. Smooth feeling unidirectional dive bezel. Nice dial details. Decent lume. All for under a hundred bucks, *including* the tariffs.

This is a no-brainer.

I've got a dozen of these Tandorio watches and every one has been a solid home run. If you want something that punches way over its weight (price), you absolutely cannot go wrong with one of these.

No affiliate links, no financial interest, just a solid endorsement from a "watch guy."

Any interest in this beautiful original and serviced Seamaster? GF case. I have it on consignment.

Today's watch comes from Tandorio, one of my favorite value brands. I have eight Tandorio watches at the moment, I've had as many as 12, gifted two to my sons and sold a couple that weren't being worn frequently. I think they represent a tremendous value for the dollar. When I bought this watch it was about $65. Now they're about $100, but still there are a few that can offer comparable specs for anywhere near that price

This watch has a genuine bronze case, stainless steel back, a sapphire crystal, a Seiko NH35 automatic movement (yes, with ghost date), and a 200 m water resistance rating. I've had this one for 2 years now. It is slowly developing a proper bronze patina.

Worn today on a two-piece nylon strap.

Do not underestimate Chinese watchmaking. They are serious contenders today.

I have so much as I love my vintage watches, there's a whole lot to be said for the modern stuff.

I have had this Boderry Voyager for a couple years now, and I'll say without hesitation it is the best bang for the buck you'll find in a field watch today. It was $87 when I bought it, ($119 today) and what you get is very impressive, especially considering the price point: a solid titanium case, sapphire crystal, Seiko NH35 automatic movement, 100 m water resistance, a well executed dial with 12 and 24-hour scales, and decent lume.

Wearing today on a heavy canvas two-piece strap, which I think fits this one well.

Anyway, no financial interest, no affiliate links, just a recommendation for a great value daily wear piece.
