I’m looking to get a new watch with a stainless steel silver band. Do any of you guys know much about watches?
I want a mechanical, classy looking watch from a respectable manufacturer. These are two of the watches I already own so you can kind of get an idea of what I like.

I’d also like to keep it under $300. I’m kind of a snob when it comes to watches despite my modest price range here :/
Have any good suggestions? Post them here and if you show me something I like – you win.

November 2, 2011 at 11:40 am #20292The contest.
November 2, 2011 at 12:32 pm #20304Sir, I have an hour and a half left at work. Challenge accepted.
I was curious what putting “Japanese” in the search would render… you know because this is TextFugu and all…
Anyway I hope you don’t have eBay-phobia or whatever it is that makes people fear eBay.. Because that’s just silly.
November 2, 2011 at 12:37 pm #20306All of those watches are quartz :(
I’m looking for a mechanical :]
November 2, 2011 at 1:02 pm #20309Whoops, I accidentally overlooked that. :[

http://tinyurl.com/6aog29s REALLY out of budget, damn that cool packaging!November 2, 2011 at 3:18 pm #20350Ha! That last one – so many pictures of the box, so few of the watch :p
November 2, 2011 at 3:41 pm #20361lol, that Vostok looks hilarious. I really like how the Orient Star looks but it’s a lot more expensive than it looks, I think. And that is one crazy box on that Oris.
I really like Seiko watches, but I’m not really a fan of the Seiko 5 line. I think it’s mostly due to how the hands look, and also that “5″ emblem. I don’t really like it. Thanks for the suggestions though.
So far this is the best one I’ve found: http://www.orient-watch.com/products/category/item/?category_id=97
But I can’t find it for sale anywhere :[November 2, 2011 at 4:19 pm #20377Well if nothing else I still killed about an hour at work, so thanks for that! XD
Good luck in your search, men’s watch shopping is no walk in the park!
November 2, 2011 at 5:16 pm #20378Haha, yeah thanks for your time – I definitely appreciate the help. And always a pleasure to help kill time at the workplace :3
November 2, 2011 at 11:26 pm #20384I’m just going to come in here and say that Timex watches are cool, I really like saying Timex. I don’t really like the strap on my Timex watch, might have to replace it soon.
Timex, Timex, Timex.

November 3, 2011 at 4:16 am #20388Unfortunately for me mechanical Timex watches are few and far between, and those that are are either really old or unappealing, haha.
November 4, 2011 at 3:01 am #20447Have you tried looking into this Timex, tis’ the one I own: http://www.amazon.com/Timex-T56371-Ironman-Triathlon-Digital/dp/B0002291TW
It’s quite neat. And you can have only the mechanical displayed while it has the capacity to have both mechanical and quartz.
Check it out and let me know! :)
PS: I must admit, I am not a triathlon runner despite the category of this said watch!- This reply was modified 13 years ago by Arashi.
