That's a really sweet watch. The particular Decentrique you have pictured is a limited edition model, so you would be lucky to get one new. I got the last black face version of that watch in the US.

Okay. I am definitely not going to "copycat" purchase that watch!

But, I do want it.

Anyone have an U-Boat? I'm thinking about getting this one.

If you like like the Movados, you might like this. It's the official watch of the Musée International d'Horlogerie. Yeah.

Another possible idea... Have you looked at Skagen's collection? I think they make some pretty nice looking watches.

Skagens are nice, I have one, but I have a few "cons" I would list for it.

The strap is very shiny, and looks like a lot of bling in evening lights. Also the case is said to be fragile and I've read a lot of reviews claiming that they can break pretty easily. But it makes a good evening wear watch for a nice dinner or reception.

I recently got a Kenneth Cole watch that I thought looked very impressive for its price. Its really slim and light, and I find it ideal to wear to work.

I have the top Skagen in gunmetal that you posted and I really like it. It is really light weight and looks pretty decent. I picked it up for $20 at the warehouse sale, the factory is here in Reno and twice a year they have a huge sale and stuff goes cheap.

 

[jilgiljongiljing]

WHOA 20$???? Damn man if you can hook me up with some of em at that price I'd send u the money for shipping as well.

I definitely like.

My watch is due for a replacement:


I'd like to get something that is:

1. relatively inexpensive (<= 300 USD)
2. can cope with day in / day out
3. doesn't look out of place on a thin wrist

I don't really have any ideas on what to get. Would welcome any suggestions or pointers on where to start!

As with headphones, a subjective qualification like this can be interpreted widely. Can you be more specific on how much you would like to spend?
