Official Misc Wristwatch Crew Part II: What time is it?

[darkninja67]

watch crew, need some help: girlfriend is looking for a fairly cheap (under $200) watch with a dark face so she can see the second hand, numbers rather than Roman numerals, and possibly self charging. Looked at Citizen Exo Drive and saw nothing that would qualify. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Sold out til at least September.

I ended up buying a Flieger manufactured by Dennis Rudy instead.

Considering the costs, the Maratac always seemed like a very good watch for the $$$. Never seen one in person though.

thats where i saw it at, any other places where i could find one new? looked on ebay didnt see any either

finally some specificity.

I'm not too familiar with women's watches...what might be good for her is to go to jomashop.com and click on the citizen, seiko, victorinox, wenger watches and click on women's, sort pricing and just look for what she likes.

You're also looking for AUTOMATIC movement type, not a quartz. Seiko might be a good bet with your specifications.
I'm not gonna recommend this, but if she's the type that wants what is popular, you'll probably have to look skagen, michael kors, jacobs etc.

Try not to do that though lol.

lol....i had a feeling he was going to think you werent kidding and didnt get catch the swiss-china part





just bid on this exact watch.....not willing to go higher than 160 which would make it a very good price.....im def prepared to lose the auction......i can wait

yesssssss

Thanks brah. Nah my girl does not care of the brand, just needs to work and be easy to read. She said Swiss Army had some models that could do the job.

Is that site you posted cheap to buy from and reputable? Used to go to Princeton Watches.

Yes victorinox and wenger are what we know as Swiss army watches.

Site is probably top 3 on the net. I've ordered from there and so has my mom.

Look online for 10% coupons as well

check these out, personally I would avoid a mechanical, women generally don't place any more value on them and they are more likely to break, more expensive and require more maintenance.

Wow for some reason they love slapping roman numerals on womens watches, this is my preference of what i've seen though.

This will help you shop in the $100-200 range, If you want good value avoid brands like Invicta and any other fashion label.

What do you guys consider too big for a watch before it starts to look stupid? I've got my eye on a 45 mm but not sure yet. I'm 6'6" with a 7.25" wrist so I think it should be fine? Thanks bros.

Lol at 6'6 you're good.

45 is kinda big, 43 is pushing it IMO, but if you like it go for it. You are massive after all.

[ze all knowing]

Can anyone recommend a part skeleton watch? Ideally mechanical analogue??

price range?

[mblouir]

Currently rocking my graduation present: Seiko Premiere Kinetic (SPB001). This review is what sold me on it. The guy took some amazing shots.

I switch back and forth between the band he shows and a leather band.

[ze all knowing]

price range?

Less than $500

[ShadowClutch]

Does anyone here have either of these? I can't decide which I like more. I love the one with orange indices/numerals, but the black on white day/date disk kind of kills it... But the white on black dial is a bit too plain... I dunno.

I've read good things about it on WUS (relative to price, etc) personally I would get the white dial version, it will go with way more straps and you are less likely to get bored of it.

i have the all black version which IMO looks better than both of those....i will be selling that watch in a couple months......take what you will from that

yeah the richard mille watch was $500,000 . I also noticed he was wearing a different watch for the final(couldn't tell what it was) and usain bolt looked like he was wearing a royal oak during one of his races.

I appreciate the help guys and MCC brahs:

she cannot use Roman numerals though. Yeah I know they seem to love putting that crap all over watches. Her occupation requires being able to read numbers quickly. Will keep looking.

something like this ^^^^^ with a dark or black face (cannot post pics, at work).

ive had my eye on this one for a while. the chrono version is pretty sweet too...cant decide

srs? pics? the RM weighs something like 10 grams or something ridiculous, i couldnt imagine how much having a RO on would bother me during a race lol

If she's fullsrs about being able to read numbers quickly, get her onto a flieger. This is a smaller flieger that comes to mind, which might suit the ladies a little better: http://wornandwound.com/2012/02/20/m...ilot-hands-on/

Price?
and I do not see a second hand on the main dial. That is a big thing for her. She needs it for blood pressure readings and such. thanks though.

needs to be analog. Thinking the Swiss Army line may be the way to go. Large and visible hands and numbers is what she needs.

[BigPoppaPump84]

Anyone know where I can get a tan alligator skin strap for a decent price?

[ShadowClutch]

I've read good things about it on WUS (relative to price, etc) personally I would get the white dial version, it will go with way more straps and you are less likely to get bored of it.

I probably wouldn't get bored with orange, but you're right about overall diversity.

Eh.

ive had my eye on this one for a while. the chrono version is pretty sweet too...cant decide

Will look for it.

[poison]

The ocean ate my beater. I need a new one: diver, 43-48mm, sapphire, quartz = great/auto = ok, rubber strap fine, 100-200m water resist, decent>good lume, under $100. I'd LOVE to do cash + my fresh roasted coffee, or supps. I'm considering a Seiko, even though they aren't sapphire. I could always put a sapphire in if the Hardlex scratched (with me, a guarantee).

Anyone?

[Negatron617]

Enjoy your SEIKO DIVER MEN'S AUTOMATIC WATCH SKX007K2 HARDLEX!

looks like i was the one and only bidder at 150....sweet

[Dimitri318]

Where can I find one of those citizens^^^? I've been needing a watch for daily use and like the black one posted up a few posts.
