My Datejust was exactly that as well, except black dial....

I picked up a Baume & Mercier Capeland (Quartz) yesterday, but need some extra links, and HATE the B&M customer service so far, so I ordered a Hirsch stitched sharkskin leather band.

Now if I could just get a good pic... and, if anyone knows where to snag a couple of links...

Voila!... (But this one doesn't look exactly the same as yours though, see numbers 8 and 10 are trimmed in this one, and the little chrono dials have slightly different markings)

Always been a fan of G-shocks. Here's some of the ones I got:

Current everyday watch: Casio G-shock Limited Edition GIEZ

These two G-shock MR-Gs do not leave my house...got them more to drool over than to wear...

G-shock MR-G Revman:

Got the one on the left:

And I'm extremely tempted to pick up one of these now...except it's hard to justify it as an everyday piece (any watch over $150 does not belong out in the real world IMO where it can be scratched, run into doors, people, etc). It's seriously too nice to just leave in a closet though...

But it's a great piece, and has lots of sentimental value.

Rado makes fantastic watches!

I have two watches.

A Tissot PR50 Titanium watch. It’s the left one on this picture:

I also have a Roamer Golden Days watch:

I like them both. The former is a bit more ‘dressy’ than the latter, though.

From these 2 choices which would you choose, and why?

or

I'm currently leaning towards the Tag. If neither of these look appealing, could you recommend a watch for <$500?

What are you looking for in the watch? You should answer a few questions to see what you are looking for (similar to what we do with headphones), so that suitable recommendations can be made. Check this post with a few typical questions to guide your watch-hunt.

I own many watches (some really expensive) and I can honestly say that my current fave is the titanium Tissot T-Touch I just bought in Switzerland. That is one hell of a watch, my friends.

I like the more subtle, elegant aesthetics of the Movado, but I've owned a Tag for years and it's been very durable. You can swim in the Tag but not in the Movado ... that's important to me because years ago I was thrown in a swimming pool with an expensive Longine's non-waterproof watch on and despite getting it cleaned and repaired after, it never worked right again.

My brother has an automatic chrono Movado and after one of the first scheduled services (I think it was something like that) he had some problems with it. Everything got eventually fixed, but after that he was a little dissapointed with the brand.

be disapointed with the repairman, and his "bull-sheet" if the watch wasnt returned to you in proper working order (certanly better than before) when you went to pick it up. nothing to do with the brand of watch. a junk repairman can screwup just about any watch.

i share the sentiments of this thread about movado though.

Yes I perfectly understand that, and so does my brother. I think we talked about the repairman vs. brand issue. Keep in mind these are not just any repairmen, these are Movado Authorized or Certified Technicians. Also it wasn't a repair at all, it was a scheduled service iirc. In some sense these authorized technicians are part of the quality the brand offers and promises to their customers. The brand is not just selling an item, but also its quality of service, especially for automatic watches.
