I'm considering an Antea 365 at some point in the future. Although if I wait too long, I might just get the real deal Nomos Tangente/tangomat for graduation

i would say, if you were budgeting the nomos, you could get the antea for that bauhaus style and still buy another mid-range watch to switch it up@

Yeah i think it's mostly just about how much I want to pay and whether I care that much about owning a 1k+ watch. I think the no-mans-land of $500-$1000 dollar watches is a great deal for quality work but its a step below what most watch afficinados consider high-end but expensive enough to disgust regular folks.

Skagen Titanium. But then again, I am a minimalist.
I got one, then my buddy got himself same watch but in black, and we both still have them. I guess for me it doesn't matter, but he is in financial services industry and that's the watch he wears all the time, so I guess it's presentable too.

Skagen should have been /thread.

Titanium link watch, raw titanium color (versus black) so the watch can be worn with browns and blacks.

I came in here just to post that watch. If I were to get a dress watch the Stowa would be it thought I can't help feel it is a little expensive for what you get. Still, when it comes to watches you are almost always paying all your money for the style and I have not found a watch that matches the Stowa for what I want.

You're welcome to pay more for a Nomos . They look exactly the same except its more than twice as expensive.

but you can't read the time

My wife has a Movado, and I have no idea how she reads that thing

Is this some super complicated Movado or does it just not have enough dots on the side. I got my girlfriend something that looks like this with the diamonds around the edge.

Looking at the Nomos though, and they use in-house movements so that would command an increase in the price. With the Stowa, they use ETA and you have to cough up an extra $300 USD for a chronometer movement. It would be interesting to see how the movements compare.

fossil should have something you're looking for.

here is one comparison, with nomos using a decorated peseux movement
http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=466

these might not be exact current production model, but safe to say nomos doesnt have a full in-house movement... (not to their fault as only seiko and some mega-boutiques can make this claim)

That would be a G-shock.

Can't go wrong with black or dark grey stainless steel. It goes with everything and isn't as flashy as silver or gold. And it looks a little classier than a leather strap IMO.

Same here, I have a tag and it looks good in the office and outside of work casually.

I'm a big fan of leather band watches. I only have 1 leather band watch (Bulova), but a piece of the dial is broken, so I dont wear it anymore. I'd like to get another leather band watch; I think they look very classy.

I have a Tag too. This one. Great business/casual watch.

Good fuck! I think I'd die before I'd spend this much on a FRIGGING WATCH. Sure, I agree that a man must have a good watch and a very good one at that, but spending this much?! Jesus... You sirs are crazy. Clearly you have extra money floating around that's coming in with not too much effort. I'm just fine and dandy with my $120 Seiko. It has been serving me well for 10 years now and still going strong, while looking very modern and professional.

Shit... And after all this, people are going around saying American economy is failing and people are not doing well financially...

Skagen, hands down. Titanium band, black or gunmetal. Ultra-light, ultra-thin, ultra-durable.

Another vote for Skagen. I hate huge, gaudy men's watches. Skagen makes thin, simple watches that don't look huge on my girly wrists.

Meh, I don't see anything wrong with it really. I have spent more on a computer and how long do they last? There are plenty of watch models out there that have been running for 40 years and more easy.

In the grand scheme of things, that's a cheap watch.

i bought this for myself last xmas at a sale at the watchery.

http://www.lifeinthefreshlane....do-mens-luno-watch.jpg

it looks REALLY slick when dressed up. i don't wear it very often but when i do i think it looks really sharp. i actually wore it this morning to an interview with my suit, and it was noticeable as I was writing down some stuff on paper and my sleeve rose a little.

I see a lot of Movado watches at pawn shops for some reason.

Maybe it's cause people do have trouble telling the time with them.

I have no issues telling the time. I don't however know the time to the specific minute or anything but you can get the general idea of like 6:20 or 6:25, i can't say it's 6:23:12 though.

Maybe it's cause I'm an engineer and just see the angles and stuff easily heh.

I agree. When I got that watch, there were $15k Panareis in the display case next to it..
