Thanks guys, I'll take a look at these. I hate to cheap out on it but I'm just not that into watches...yet I feel obligated to wear one. Trying to find something that I can wear to the office and casually. As far as style goes I love the Breitlings and almost convinced myself to spend $1700 on one. The Zodiac linked above is kind of what I am looking for - croc/leather band with a metal face.

Seiko/Citizen make quality watches that fit your budget.

Tag Heuer, save up for it.
Though their entry level price for a watch is a little less than 1,000, not sure exactly. Its their Formula One models (sporty, everyday quality timepiece) But if you want to go baller (tag heuer grand carrera =) my next one Their warranty service is great as well to compared to to other companies (2 weeks turnaround time *send in, fix, send back* ) as opposed to 1 month all the way to 3

Sure. Seiko has some cool looking stuff. If you want big and less common, consider Invicta.

I was fortunate enough to find a Tag Monaco (Brand new) for $900 from OC Craigslist. I get a lot of complements every time I wear my Tag to meetings.

I own a Tag and an Omega, and I can definitely say that the fit and finish of the Omega is better.
I'd go Omega before Tag now anyday.

And you know that it's real? That doesn't make much sense

I love my Omega- it fits well, and people always compliment it even though it's very simple. Its a Seamaster.
I just bought a Cartier Ronde Solo- love it! |

^ Yeah I was skeptic at first, however:
- He showed me the receipt from Tourneau with serial number, barcode, etc all matching. Also, he knew someone from the store and got the watch discounted. - Tag Monaco is Self Winding Automatic Movement, thus making it quite expensive to replicate. - The seller was desperate to sell due to financial hardship IMO: Omega = Lexus (Quality) Tag = BMW (Chicks dig it)

Anyone here heard of a brand called Damasko? It's suppose to be like the Lexus of watches right now. Wait times for the watches can be up to a year and the quality and technology is better than Omega and Breitling.

That's a pretty nice looking watch. Just a little busy for my taste. The crystal looks pretty much invisible. I assume there's an anti-reflective coating.

Casio G-Shock. Best watch ever made, damn near indestructible and good looking too. Automatics are for people with more money than they otherwise know what to do with. Though I can appreciate the mechanical beauty of an automatic, it doesn't keep time any better than a quartz watch, worse in fact.
Then what, exactly, are you grading on? Watches are made to tell time. If a $10 watch tells better time than one costing three thousand times more money, you're paying $29,990 for a name and the styling? At least with Ferraris and Porsches that are slower than ZR-1's and GT-R's there's an argument that the Ferrari/Porsche is more rewarding to drive and is only more expensive by a factor of 1-3 or so, but what is the rational behind buying something that is functionally inferior and costs more than something else by a factor of 3,000?

It was a little busier than I was originally looking for but it grew on me, and the price was right . There isn't a coating that I'm aware of, probably just the angle the photo was taken.
