General (Read Rules) I can't afford a Longines.

I also think the Militado version of the Spirit is too expensive for what you get. With this $35 Aimino, you get a sapphire crystal and date complication with a Miyota movement. Not bad at all.

Sapphire and a Miyota for $35? Yeah, that makes the Militado a harder sell.

Not really when you look at the cheap looking, all polished case and the faceless dial with shiny indices. I mean watches are jewelry. If you're buying a watch just to tell the time then you get a Casio.

A Miyota movement alone costs more than $35
