I'm a huge fan of Rolex too. I personally love my 16610 LV! Do you own any or what is your favorite model?

I've never been a watch guy until I saw this watch.

Kenneth cole kc3798

MSRP: $185.00
Amazon: $59.51

It's a classic ol' school looking watch. It runs off the movement of your arm- doesn't need a battery.

Check out a sears and jc penny near you. Mens watches are a hot fathers day item and should be on sale in those stores. Solid bang for your buck. Good selection in your price range. And you can try them on.

Yeah the sub with the green bezel

It's definitely a superb timepiece, the reason i asked is because back in 2007, I transported a business associate's car to Nigeria, and he paid me with one, came complete with the swings tags and papers.

I gave it to my dad when he retired from the post office in '08, he was so shocked he thought it was a fake, until i told him to call Ernest Jones.

a bit higher price point, but I do like my Nixon Capital as an everyday, don't-worry-about watch--

I'm sure you can find it a bit cheaper elsewhere. Nixon has some nice styles other than the ridiculously huge 51-30s.

This one is perfect. Its around $125. Its not too flashy, but people will notice it and it goes with every business casual/professional outfit as its not a large silver piece.

The simple elegant look is what you're looking for. GL!

That is a sexy watch right there, don't see it online for $125 though, more in the $200 range.

Let me suggest that if you buy a watch with a leather band, make sure it is high quality.

I bought a Cavlin Klein watch (CK Biz Watch), it looks really good, but after one night of wearing it, it had some streaks on it. Not a big deal, but I assume if I keep on wearing it, it is going to get worse and worse.

Make sure you get a good/fine leather with a high quality finish so the leather can take a beating.
