    Default Kinda shopping for a watch

    Looking for something somewhat understated but with a bit of class (no ironman stuff!). I was looking at/for something perhaps in a rose gold look, here is what I've got in mind so far. Any good website recommendations?

    And a Bulova

    I really like the Bulova. Clean and classic. Also, where the band attaches to the watch seems to be completely standard as compared to the other two watches. So when the band needs replacing you will be able to do it easily.

    I have a Bulova dress watch, very nice but kinda limited to only being able to wear it on certain occasions since it looks too nice for everyday use. Christopher Ward has some nice watches also. My Bernhardt from Badger and Blade can be worn for everyday or dress. I love this watch.



    Check out the Watch ya wearing thread on B&B some great, stylish andquite inexpensive watches on there to give you some ideas.

    I really like my Citizen Eco-Drive. Sorry, no pics but readily available on any search engine.

    I assume you are looking for a nice dressy(ier) watch. Check out Nomos or RGM. If you are willing to save or can swing the entry fee, Patek or Lange.

    If you do decide to 'swing' that way it might be worth checking out a pre-owned watch store (sorry the only ones I know are UK based) as the prices can be slightly more palatable however they will still be comparitively huge compared to your current choices. If you decide to go with any watch make sure to go to a B&M stockist and try it on as watches can look radically different on your wrist from pictures. Oh and checking out the Watch ya wearing thread here would be a plan as you'll see great watches from all price points.

    Price range? Automatic or quartz? Price can vary from 10$ to gazillions.

    I love my Eberhard 8-jours (manual charge, lasting 8 days), swiss classic:

    On the cheap side there's a very good Seiko "007" diving, I think the best watch you can buy for 150$ or so, automatic movement, 200mt waterproof:

    You are a cruel man! Ohh dear I might need a lie down! Clearly should've been NSFW!

    Stunning piece that vacheron though 42.5mm I think? Great size for a modern dress watch, there's really no reason not to -ohh heck-

    Look at Amazon....Type in type and price and see what they have. You can learn allot looking there and you can beat the price too after you find one.
    I have read a few bad reports on Skagen, from Amazon comments. Good luck....and good hunting!
