I have the Edifice Casioak (cost me 110 USD) and the Kamasu (first gen, green dial/green bezel, cost about 220 USD) and they both look twice more expensive than what I paid for them. I did get them during summer discount sale, so bear in mind they are usually hard to find at the prices I mentioned.

Totally agree, especially with the Seiko Cocktail and older 5 range. The Star Bar Cocktail limited watches have some very unique dials and look at least twice more expensive. The Seiko 5 range have very good detailing for such low price. They were of course even way cheaper couple years ago, but still amazing bang for buck!

I'm selling my cocktail time for an Alpanist which second hand worked out at just over £400. The cocktail time is still lovely but it just gets a bit boring after a year or two. I wanted something that was more wearable in the days as well as nights. Cocktail time is so well priced though either way.

I think the seagull 1963 looks pretty cheap, the Pierre Paulin jump hour was released after this video was made, sugess chrono is just a straight up copy of another watch, Yes the PRX is, but that's a super obvious pick that everyone already knows about. As the for Zodiac and Bulovas... Sure, bit niche, but sure.

The biggest problem with Casio in a list about expensive looking watches is not the build quality but how well known the brand is for really affordable watches. The watch itself looks more expensive than it is, but the moment they see the casio logo most people will know it's very affordable.

@johntate5050 3 ай бұрын

@@zhixci958 I would disagree, at least what the average person would call expensive for a watch. Sure when we are talking about watches that cost over 10K or even 100K most people only know Rolex and maybe a few more, but for the majority of people "expensive" for a watch starts way below that. A lot of my friends, colleagues and family members think the 420€ i spent on my Seiko Cocktail Time is way too much for a watch.
