$160 is a very reasonable price. Japan 8215 movement is a proven watch movement better than seiko 7s26 as it has handwind function while 7s26 do not plus it poor automatic winding system.

Tell me how many watch equipped with sapphire, C3 lume , rotating ceramic bezel plus Japanese automatic movement can sell lower than this price as what you perceived as overprice?

Band is as cheap as few dollars. And I can bet many watch collector has many spares to play around. I don't see as a big problem.

Fortunately, I had a 20% off eBay coupon and got mine for $128 exc postage.

I have a watch running an 8215 and it is very accurate. No hacking, but whatever... For me I am buying the feature set wrapped up in a SM300 design. There is not much to choose from in this design and at this price that I'm aware of.

Finally I went ahead and ordered the Sekaro Seamaster 300M from Ali today. Chose standard shipping so will take about 30-40 days to arrive, long wait begins.

Could be just me but I never quite got around to liking Hublot watches. Yes, they are exorbitantly expensive and exquisite time pieces but maybe it's just their designs that sometimes feel a little too overbearing in my eyes.

I like the PP Nautilus, but the AP Royal Oak and Hublot Big Bang or Classic Fusion are just too busy and "in your face", for my tastes. I prefer smaller cases, and clean designs.

Yes, the Nautilus is a beautiful watch. The absence of the seconds hands and the clean dial make it looks so classy. Do you happen to own a homage to it?

I had come across some nice homages to the Nautilus by Paulareis IIRC.

I found and published the Paulareis here a little while back, but it's not the same quality as the Bagelsport. The movement looks like a really cheap, Tonji/Chinese Standard Movement-based caliber. In my experience, these movements often have poor autowinding, awful accuracy, and a 30 hour power reserve at best.

I think there are also "Peter Lee" branded homages. I don't own any Nautilus homage yet, but I wouldn't recommend the Paulareis. YMMV.

What do you think of that Seiko 5 Nautilus homage?

It's a 7009 model from the 80's, so actually not the more famous SNK model designed by Gerald Genta...

Seller is not far and asking for US $50~ish. Would you go for it?

The Seiko SNKK45 is more of a Nautilus homage in my opinion.

I'm a bad person to ask, because I need a used watch to be in very good to mint condition, before I consider buying it.

That crystal would drive me nuts, and would be relatively expensive to replace considering its unique shape, and the cost of the watch. I don't think it looks much like a Nautilus, either.

I think of the SNKK4x series as the Seiko Nautilus homages.

OR my favorite, this 1970's/80's vintage Seiko 7019-5140 model:

In that case I'm staying away from Paulareis watches. Really appreciate your insight into this. :)

How is Tevise? They have a lovely Rolex President homage with Roman numerals (automatic, no clue about the movement used). The one with the black dial with golden numerals really does look good. It comes with a jubilee bracelet and is about $24 on Ali.

Yes, I did happen to watch some video reviews on Youtube of the Tevise Presidential homage last night. From what I gathered, the watch seems to be rather decent for the price. The jubilee bracelet is the weak link but that I was kind of expecting... it's far too flimsy. If I do end up getting one of these I'll be sure to get a better bracelet for it. Other than that, the case seems to be well made in stainless steel and it keeps good time.

I didn't get the exact movement this watch carries nor the power reserve, but I tend to rotate my watches so power reserve doesn't really dampen the deal for me.

Following up, I liked the square case and blue dial more than the SNKK45 (which IMO has less of a Nautilus vibe, how strange it may seem). Anyhoo I snagged it for $22 (18€) instead of the $55 asked [emoji846] Plus its scars are not a deal-breaker to me, on the opposite I would say: I like to own vintage watches that have already lived their life, kind of adopting an old dog abandoned by his owners [emoji6] (call me the rescuer of vintage watches lol).
