The closest alternative to the Thorn Octopus 36mm 15210 Luxury PT5000 Automatic Watch is the Orient FNR1Q005W0 ($180) — looks nearly identical and Automatic. If price is the constraint, the Timex Easy Reader 35mm Expansion Band Watch - T2H451 at $83 (vs $221 for the Octopus 36mm 15210 Luxury PT5000 Automatic Watch) covers most of the same brief.
