I know nothing about watches, but I got a Festina 6603, but it's with a white background.
Do you possibly know anything about this watch? :s I'd be interested to hear if you know.

All I know about Festina is that it used to be a Swiss company, but now the watch is completely assembled by Citizen. So certainly, it has a very solid Citizen or Miyota movement under that dial.

When I saw the preview from the last post column, I was like "Someone else from Orange County that goes to Hi-Time for their alcohol?" Then, I was disappointed.

Nice. I love the look of skeleton watches. That one reminds me of the Seagull skeleton watch that I have been wanting to get for some time now.

It's the Saxonia Automatik which I believe was just discontinued this year in favor of the new (cheaper) version.  It's 37mm x 9mm and actually wears quite large on the wrist.
 
The VC Overseas is a great watch for the money.  It was one of my first "real" watches that I bought and of immensely high quality and finish.  I do tend to get a little bored of watches where I can't see what's ticking inside though
