Looking for a reasonable automatic (maybe)

[carloverfast2]

i can recommend the Seiko 5 strongly. the autos keep good time and i find the more i wear them the better regulated they become. even if you don't wear it often, changing the time and date are not too difficult. there's debate as to wear them more, put on a winder or not at all and how this affects the gear's wear and tear. i think Seiko 5s are inexpensive enough that these questions don't matter. i would think Invictas and Orients will be similar in function, form and concept. best...

Orient and Seikos, are much better than Invicta.
With Invicta you are taking a big gamble....since quality control is pretty non-existent and warranty from them is useless...you might get a good one....or not.

Thanks all. Ended up ordering an Orient Mako. Can't wait to get it.

IWI automatics are not so bad, worth a look, they are solid and use Swiss movements ETA's, they arte fairly cheap, and look and feel like they cost more than what they actually do.
