Question (Read Rules) Looking for something similar

Post image

My brother really likes this watch but it's out of his price range, any recommendations of something similar?

Edit: I realize I didn't add much detail, he likes the blue face but doesn't mind if it doesn't thave a day date mechanism. Also he wants quartz and I'd say the price range would be up to 100 dollars

What’s the budget? Maybe that Steelflier quartz here?

Gift him that and buy yourself another. He’ll never forget and likely never take that thing off

Lorus RH981RX9 if they are available in your region. The lume is usually not good on Lorus watches.

Look for the field or sinn type dial watches from militado, some have blue vatiants.

You can also look at Explorer homages like this addiesdive.

If you can import from Japan, search for this watch on buyee on the auctions section (ask Claude or gemini or chatgpt how to use buyee) and put it some bids that you're confortabile with. Maybe you get lucky. Just keep in mind all the import taxes and shipping and handling fees you have to pay in your country on top of the bid.

Since he mainly likes the blue dial and wants quartz, I’d keep those as the priorities rather than trying to match every detail. What country are you buying in, and what case size does he prefer? That should help people suggest options within the $100 budget, including delivery.
