How bout this Brant



Reasonably priced, looks pretty good for what you are describing, and Tag Heuer is dependable (actually Im just guessing on that last part lol)

One of my dream watches would be a Tag Heuer Link series... One of the ones with a combination of polished and brushed links...

Brant, I know it's a little bling but consdier this... it'll be the last watch you'll really ever need and it's something you could pass on to your kids... those were the considerations I made when I bought mine.

Here's the issue...I can't justify spending more than $4-500 on a watch, because I just don't care THAT much about what time it is. I don't deny that a Tag Heuer or a Rolex or an Omega would be NICE...but I'm not dropping more on a watch than I am on the entire suspension for my car...

I buy cheap watches cause I never take it off and tend to break them. I couldn't even justify $400-$500 unless I just had the extra $$$ laying around.

Shame you can't justify the expense Barney, I think this one is perfect for style and understatement at the same time

Think about pushing the boat out and going for a TAG, I have had one for 10 years now and it has never had a problem (apart from the fact that I have had 4 new straps on it, but TAG paid for each and every one of those straps, no questions asked!!).

For YEARS I didn't wear a watch. This one was a present last Christmas and was the first watch I'd worn in more than 15 years.

Unfortunately, I got used to wearing a watch this past year and like the heft on my wrist. All the cheap analog watches just felt too cheesy and I need this watch to pull double duty as something casual as well as when I have business functions.

Don't need super bling, but I do need something kinda nice.

$4-500 is the absolute ceiling...I'm shooting for around $200 if I can find something I like at that price.
