Recommend a watch - businesswear, ~$500

[Vageetasjn]

I prefer a leather band and a simple face. Can you get something at this price that won't fall apart after a few years?

This is probably not going to be expensive enough for what you're after, but I actually really love and recommend this Timex heritage classic, which costs $40:

Timex? lol. Maybe 30 years ago. If I interviewed you and you wore that thing I'd have security escort you out.

You can give me the other $480 as a finder's fee.

This watch is a throwback to the 1940s original and is in very high demand. And don't worry, if I know that the person who'll be interviewing me is that vapid and pretentious, I'll wear one of my Omegas.

You don't like lawyers? Or is it you don't like millionaires?

Oooh, that's nice. I've always like the look of the Stowa watches, but they are a bit expensive. Now that I look at their catalog again I notice that the prices have gone up.

That was my second choice.

My first choice and the one I wear (automatic) is this one but was a little more than your $500 limit:

Hamilton Jazzmaster - very handsome and runs on a very nice ETA automatic movement.

This is probably the dress watch I would buy for $500 if I wanted to buy new. I would probably buy used and get something more interesting, but that's me . . .

Why leather

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

I use: http://www.amazon.com/Skeleton-Pocke...5569245&sr=8-5 Only because I can't have my cell phone in the place I work though. 500$ on a watch is such a waste...

 

[AmdEmAll]

oh you said leather.. they probably have one with a leather band. Relic
