If you are going to spend that kind of money, why not go for a finer brand? Citizen is Ok, but you can get a nice swiss watch for thast kind of cash that might actually appreciate in value AND is worh handing down to someone else one day. I collect watched ans usually spend between $600 and $4500 each. I have some beaters and some for special occasions only. Look at some of the stuff below and see if there is anything you like. Also, go to Fortunoff in White Plains. They have a nice Raymonnd Weil and Movado collection and usually have sales. Those two have very nice watches in your range. http://watchesandbeyond.com/item.asp?model=48951SR05200&gender=Mens&pricerange=&style=All&keywords= http://watchesandbeyond.com/item.asp?model=06-573-04-001&gender=Mens&pricerange=&style=All&keywords= http://www.discountwatchstore.com/store-categories-Luminox-Marine-Series_3162268.htmlv http://www.longislandwatch.com/by_category/Chronograph-1.htm -- When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained - Samuel Clemens Go wake up the Gimp.

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2048599 Posted By: LightningquickLS1 On: 05-19-2008 @ 09:34:15 Reply | Top | Edit Of the two you posted, Id go with the first one (in all silver as you posted later in the thread). However, Im with Nick on this one bro. If you are spending around 250-350, Citizen and Seiko is more then fine. They make some nice watches, and both of the ones you posted are slick looking. If you are going to spend $500(ish) or more though, I would step up and find a clearanced Movado or another watch with a swiss movement. They are classy, instantly recognizable, and have a crystal face that can take a BEATING. (there were plenty of times I did something to mine that I was SURE would have scratched it before I looked down, but it always came out okay). 
Mens Movado watches generally run in the $800-$2000 range (and even up from there of course if you want diamonds!). If you shop around, you can get them at 25-50% off with no problem at all. My Delphino was $1000-1200 new, and I paid about $650 for it a few years ago. --

Posted By: OneOwner On: 05-19-2008 @ 10:14:52 Reply | Top | Edit I have 2 Sector watches and they take one heck of a beating and still look great. The one diving watch from them I have is powder coated aluminum nad weighs nothing at all. Sector is reasonably priced, they get compliments everywhere I go and there is a 99.99% chance that nobody else you know is going to be wearing one. The problem is that if you ever do need repair work, it has to be sent to Rhode Island to the Watch Hospital and takes weeks. http://www.aaawatch.com/sectorwatches.htm -- When we remember we are all mad, the mysteries disappear and life stands explained - Samuel Clemens Go wake up the Gimp.

Posted By: stevethepirate On: 05-20-2008 @ 18:20:12 Reply | Top | Edit Tyrel- Fossil watches have proven to be some of the nicest affordable watches. I am on my second, I've had it for probably 3 or 4 years now. My last one got smashed when I got in a motorcycle accident, but that one was working perfectly up until that point (probably had it for 4-5 years). The one i have now was ~100. Its what I wear every day at school, but it also works fine when I dress up. (When I am home I have my WATCH, which I wear when I'm dressing up... would never think about having it at school though). Alex- these are some tissot watches i like. http://shop.tissot.ch/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=T17158652&Attributes=Yes&Quantity=1 http://shop.tissot.ch/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=T0144101605700&Attributes=Yes&Quantity=1 http://shop.tissot.ch/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=S&Product_Code=T17148644&Attributes=Yes&Quantity=1 just some ideas i guess... --

Also, I know in Philly there is a street called Jewelers Row. It is just a long row of jewelry shops, many of which have large watch collections.
