Tissot is also a great brand to look at if you want a nice clean watch in that $250-$500 range. My boss bought me this for a promotion / record month a few years ago, it's my favorite dress watch and it gets lots of compliments:

Since we're going a little watch nerd here, this was my runner up to the Blue Angels Edition I ended up with:

How do you even read the time on that in a quick glance?

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

You think that is tough try reading it on some of the Seven Friday watches!!

[Image: M2-01_10.jpg]

It's not hard at all to read the time on my Blue Angels Skyhawk but I'm also used to looking at analog dials. I can also set the digital readout to show the current time zone or another one (as I am frequently on the phone between PST and CST)

That's retarded.

Serious question, why do so many uber high end watches use rubber for the band? It seems like ordering a chateaubriand and getting it on a styrofoam plate.

it shows that despite your super douchey watch, you're just a regular guy.

I'm not going to pretend I know anything about watches, time stopped for me when my Casio calculator watch died. but if you're looking for a super douchey hard to read, then why not binary?

and while looking for that one I came across what should unquestionably be the Official MM Retirement Watch

For over three years now, I have enjoyed the company of my Timex Weekender Black Slip-Through Strap watch - I've found it to be not just a weekend luxury as the name implies, but rather an everyday indulgence. The feel of the strap, the weight of the case, they just work together in perfect harmony.

The dial is distinctive and easily legible in all situations, and the crown is straight forward - perhaps a bit difficult to operate in that it is not at all precise, but a skilled hand soon makes quick work of any necessary adjustments. The dim glow-in-the-dark markings add a sense of occasion at night, and provide a subtle accent to this fine timepiece.

$27.95 at your fine watch e-commerce retailer or auction website.
