Default Semi-Official Help Brant Replace His Wickified Watch Thread

Well, as some of you may know, my poor Citizen Eco-Drive watch was one of the casualties of wicky's infamous night in Vegas. The crystal not only cracked, but actually has a HOLE in it and the movement ceased working at all.

At first I was going to repair it, but have decided to take this opportunity to shop for a new watch.

Here's what the now dead watch looked like...


My constraints are that I would like a two tone case of either stainless steel or titanium and gold, a metal band and that I would like to keep the cost under $4-500 if possible.

Here are a couple watches that I am currently considering...

Tissot PRS200 T17.2.486.55


Citizen Eco-Drive 180 Titanium Professional Diver AP0254-51H


I tend to like more conservatively styled watches, but am open to a variety of suggestions. Any help would truly be appreciated, since I would like to get a watch in the next few days...

I like more plain watches, is there a reason you want two tone?

try checking out pawn shops/ebay

old watches sometimes are far cooler than new ones, and can have a conversation piece, aside from being cheaper...unless you go get an antique...but yea

I don't like all gold watches, but all stainless or silver tone is just too cold looking. I like the gold accents. It needs to be a watch that looks equally at home with jeans and a polo shirt as it does with a suit.
