I often get complemented on my Seiko 5 dive watch and they ask if it's a Rolex... I guess in some ways it looks like a Submariner and to them they can't tell the difference. It just looks like an expensive watch and they automatically associate that with a popular brand name like Rolex.

I am a huge fan of Seikos. Seiko 5s often run in the $50-$100 range and yet they're some of the best built, classiest looking watches on the market. They're spectacular.
A waiter at a restaurant was casually admiring my Seiko one time. Price was brought up during our discussion and he was blown away that such a nice looking watch only cost $400. He said it looked more like a $4,000 watch than a $400 watch.
With a Seiko you get 60% of the 'engineering' of a Rolex for 1% of the price. I've had my watch for probably 10 years now with 0 problems. It runs immaculately to this day.
