    Looking to get my first watch just so I have a decent watch compared to some of my coworkers. I'll end up buying a Tag or Breitling towards Christmas time but I just need something to hold me over for the moment. Here are my personal thoughts on each one:

    http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/victori...-large-bracelet-watch/3183060?origin=category

    I really like the style and classic look of the watch above and would personally buy a leather strap to go along with it. It fits my wrist perfectly at 42 mm. My only complaints are its too fancy looking IMO to go with everyday wear and I slightly don't like the all black look of it. I like bracelet on this watch a lot more than the other.

    This watch I love the style of it more than the other, but there are 2 major things I do not like about this watch. It's 45 mm so it is a very large watch and I don't a watch that appears too large. As a reference I'm 6 feet 190 lb so I'm a fairly large guy and all the sales reps tell me it fits my wrist fine but I feel like they're just trying to make a sale. The 2nd thing that really bothers me is the red second hand, I just think it's a little tacky. Pros of this watch it is a great sporty everyday watch.

    Price isn't a problem between the two since they're both around the same price. So...Which one do you like? Thanks.

    That pocket watch in weslinder's link is pretty pimp. Political correctness aside.

    I can't see it because that link is blocked at work for some reason but from the description it looks like its alluding to my moniker.

    I like that style of watch, but Raymond Weil isn't really a quality watch maker. They're a designer that buys generic swiss parts and stamps their name on it. The Tag I am looking to get after saving up a little looks like it:

    Disagree. Not sure where you're getting that impression but to me they are the best "bang for the buck" Swiss brand out there. Sapphire dial with automatic movement for $1300?
