Watches are purely a matter of individual preference, so you'll get nothing out of hearing others' opinions. Just get whatever you like and wear it with confidence and you'll be fine.

For what little it's worth, I'm not a fan of the baushaus (sp) style.

Agreed on this (though not sure if they are considered "good") also think Hamilton makes some nice ones as well

LCandB:

Consider Maurice Lacroix, great watches, and less common here in the US. Something like this one would fit the bill: http://www.mauricelacroix.com/Watch/Entry/Collecti...

I want that

Disclaimer: huge watch snob.

This watch is actually really nice looking. At 38mm it's a bit small for nowadays. That model is also a 2014 Basel World special release by the looks of it, so I'd be surprised if you could scoop it easily and on the cheap.

IMO there's a huge dead spot in the watch market b/w $500 and ~$2000. In there you're overpaying for a really cheap watch dressed up like an Omega. Just buy a knockoff Seamaster or Daytona =P

Go on TimeZone Sales Corner and see goes for what, and what strikes your fancy.

 

Whats the point of buying a watch under $1000? I just can't understand people that get excited for, and enjoy discussing, watches that have shitty ETA movements. If you're paying less than 5k for a watch, i.e a watch that does not have an in house movement, you might as well go and buy a Chinese knock off because there is really no difference in substance. That because the lower end watch market is analog to today's market for PCs. When you buy a Lenovo or a Dell your buying the same shit in a different package (Apple would be an exception).

I love when people call themselves watch snobs and then go on to comment on stupid shit like the case size and strap. That is how you can tell someone does not know shit about watches.

I'm tired of tasteless fucks that read GQ.
