Not bad, for a daily.

 

I didn't see it mentioned, but what about fossil watches? I like some of the dress watches they have. Not baller, but a daily watch that looks good is what I'm after. I don't think I could spend more than $150 on an everyday watch.

 

Anybody know anything on IWC watches??
I'm looking at IWC Classic Pilot's Automatic Chronograph and I know they are a reputable brand but I don't know anyone who owns one.
Do they keep time well? Are they problematic at all?
I ask because my buddy has a Breitling and it tends not to keep time very well.. not nearly as well his rolex..

 

IWCs are one of the finest watches most people have never heard of. Fantastic timepiece.

 

I once got the most awesome deal on an Omega watch - an $8000 Omega for only $30.

 

yeah same here. I'm sure we could both could get depending on how snobbish the crowd is going to be but for a daily I can't spend more than 150. I always seem to beat up my watches so I would hate to damage something 500+. I like a bunch of fossil watches and many of Tissot's offerings if I wanted a good watch for an occasion.

 

Usually ones at $500+ are hard to damage.
most come with sapphire crystal pieces which are basically indestructible as long as you don't bang it with a hammer.

Also, stainless steel will eventually scratch from daily use, but the best part is once you can get it cleaned and polished it will be like new again.

I mean sure its possible to destroy it, but from normal day wear... you will be fine.

 

Good to know blacktie.

 

I'm surprised no one mentioned Invictas. I know they tend to do the lookalike Rolex thing, but they are really good watches for the money. I have a few that are specific to diving...sapphire crystal, heavy case, water proof, automatic movement, and cost right around $100. I've tested them in actual diving conditions and know that they work.

It's hard to find a watch within that price range that offers a value like that even with a Japanese movement. They also look really nice...I get comments on mine all the time. They are one of the best DD watches to have - uber durable, looks good, and functional.

I've held off on buying a Rolex since so many people seem to have them...fake or real. I'd like to get one at some point...I have my eyes on the 25th Ann Submariner.

 

i think you mean this
