if you don't mind me asking, how much did the mods cost you? i've been looking for an affordable military watch, and that seiko looks so clean i may have to copy it to the bone. i normally hate replicating items exactly as i see them on others, but that watch is perfect to me

Depends on your definition, but that one in particular is $250-$300 so no, not exactly

I wear a Hamilton Khaki most days

It's a $300 watch, so it's not high end at all. However I want something lighter with a more comfortable band for daily use. And NO the Tissot is not automatic.

'High End' to me is definitely $2500+.....I consider something like an Omega Seamaster a daily beater....

This is not due to me being rich or anything of that matter, I believe most watch enthusiasts would be along the same lines.
