I like my Movado, it retailed for $1700 and I got it for $1200. The one I want is the SE Extreme Carbon with a rubber band. Model number 0606390. It retails for $2000, Although I could prolly get it for $15-1800.
found it for $1500.00

If you're gonna spend $2K for a watch, why Movado? I mean they're decent watches for those looking for a watch around a grand but there's nothing really special about their quality and barely comes with any status recognition. You can get a much better watch for that price. Perhaps something like an Omega Seamaster? Or even something like a simple IWC Portofino on the upper-side of 2K if you're looking for something more elegant. You have a little more broader choice of much better quality timepieces for that amount.
FWIW as far as build quality and comfort goes I think my $400 movado is better than my $1500 tag. I have been wearing my Tag for about 3 months and the band is so scratched up it looks likes its 10 years old. I have had my Movado for about 4 years, wearing it every day and it looks like its in better shape than the tag.

citizen eco drives for most part for me.
I have a moon-phase WR100 and a murdered out AR3015-53E Stiletto.
I have a 1969 Date/Just for the expensive dinners
thats it
One day hope to afford a Zenith or a custom steam punk timepiece...we will see

Bell & Ross BR01-97-S
147 of 500
Aquatimer Chronograph Edition Galapagos Islands

I prefer to wear the Bell and Ross for everyday use the thing has taken a beating and still looks great.

My roommate sold his BR03 for an IWC (forgot which model), both pieces are amazing!
