Right now I am currently looking for a new watch.

I am looking to spend 5-7k list price and I cannot decide what kind I want. I really like the Ulysse Nardin my father just got but I do not want the same watch.

What I am looking for is Silver in color, and prefferably a big face. Also a Black or Silver face with a a normal, non-leather band.

I do like Breitlings and are considering them. I just thought I would get some opinions here first.

I have become especially fond of this one:

Panerai. Look no further. Simplistic and beautiful.

What is the name of the watch where you can see into it? You can see like the inner workings of the watch.

I've always been a big fan of the Omega Speedmaster Professional. It's the same watch (more or less) that went to the Moon!

It is manual wind, though, if that puts you off.

While you are looking for a watch with a bracelet, I personally think the JLC Reverso looks better on leather (it is available with a bracelet). It's a pure classic watch and is within your price range depending on the model.

To be honest, I'm not a big Panerai fan. I think they are way overpriced. Again, just my opinion.

Does anybody have an opinion on the Amazon Gold box deal that's running right now? A titanium Tissot for $360? Seem pretty nice for the money. My ESQ is starting to get pretty old and beat up. I've had it since Nov, 2000. Might be time for an upgrade.

I'm in the market for a new watch. I was wondering if you guys and gals could help me out!

1. Men's
2. Waterproof (I never take my watches off or else I loose them :sigh

3. Analog
4. Very comfy band. I'd be willing to buy a different one and replace the stock one.
5. I'd really like it to be clear/transparent/see through so you can look into the gears and all the neat stuff inside the watch.
6. No more than $200-300.
7. Not too flashy.

I know that's a lot of details, but hopefully a watch exists that meets my "needs"

Everything but #5 (which will likely blow your budget): Seiko Black Monster on bracelet. Comfy comfy comfy. Lume for days. Great watch.

There are a handful of Kenneth Cole Reaction models that might meet all of your needs:

My parents bought me a different Kenneth Cole Reaction watch and I haven't really had a chance to wear it much, but I did get to wear if for a few days and it was rather nice and comfortable too. Automatic as well which was a big plus for me. I still prefer my Seiko Kinetic and my Titan Edge but the Kenneth Cole's are reasonably good day to day wearers on a budget IMO.

Was trying to source the Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono in Rose Gold, but could not find under my budget (<$800). So when I ran into this watch for $800, I couldn't pass it up. Here are some pics:

Just received this watch too this week. Wore it once and realized that after owning a Panerai and a Breitling, that a normal size watch is not for me. So it's going go up for sale soon. Absolutely stunning and gorgeous, just needs to be 2mm bigger for me.

Watch it in action

How do you watch guru's keep your watch face from getting scratched?

Sapphire crystal. One of the hardest substances on earth. Just keep it away from diamonds, and you don't have to worry about any scratches
