You skipped $200-$300. That is the entry point for many into the world of automatics. So no Bambino Seiko 5 or Kamasu on the list then?

I agree, I was really hoping to see his favorite in the $300 range as a lot of us operate in that space. Enough that you have to save a little and think a little more, but not enough to make you feel remorse after slapping down your debit card. FWIW I just received my Erebus Origin, and for $300, all I can say is DANG!

@@garyquartley1084 It has an inky deep blue sunburst that doesn’t look like the brighter and more silvery sunburst I see on many other dials. The “burst” itself is still a pure blue color, and depending on lighting the dial can look glassy or silky with a cloudy glow to it instead of the grainier texture and less saturated burst color a lot of sunburst dials have. It’s understated but also one of the reasons I like it since I thought a lot of blue sunburst dials look too cold or flashy to me.

Also, I'm wearing an A168 at the moment. 😀 Shoot, you could've gone for the Casio hat trick and picked the MTP4500D-1AV for the $100 level (it's enough under that you could throw in the MQblahblah and still beat the century mark.
