I know we have some watch guys on here.

It’s time to send my 1990’s Fossil to the grave yard and step up to a better watch. I have been doing some hard looking and came across a brand named Clerc Watches… Clerc Watches
Anyone know anything about them, any feedback?

 

I don't know anything about these but they look cool. May I suggest you also look at Invicta - Invicta Watch They are really good watches and have a great price range ($200 - $2,000). I just got a Tag for Christmas (my second one) and I love it. It is a great watch and priced about the same as the Clerc - $2-3K

 

I think I'm in loveeee....the revolution in orange is killer.

 

Never heard of them, but I'm a fan. I would hesitate to drop that kind of dough on an unknown (to me) brand, but I gotta admit, they look sexy.

 

The Clerc's or the Invicts's?

 

Go to amazon... the orange revolution is on for under $239 (http://www.amazon.com/Invicta-6727-Collection-Chronograph-Ion-Plated/dp/B003APJSG4/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1295030345&sr=8-22) .. I just received my Akribos XXIV AK415YL and it is killer

 

Anyone else have anything?

 

One of the best places to buy a watch is Kohl's if you combine coupons with a sale.

My watch has a 24-hour dial - most people I meet have never seen one. Mine is similar to those shown here

Amazon has just about every brand imaginable... I usually narrow my search down by my likes (e.g. rectangular shaped; leather or rubber strap, etc) and then browse - I have not had an issue finding several watches to my liking.

 

Personally I like tough. I have owned Seiko dive watches since the 70s (Marine combat diver) and had one that lasted almost that long. For sheer longevity, with minimal maintenance, these things are tough to beat. Look at the new standard SKX 173 or the SKX 007 or any of the variants. If you want to personalize the watch, it is has a cult following and any number of modifications can occur. One of the best known individuals is Bob Thayer: watches bobthayerjr.com I don't do pretty, I do functional, so for me a high end is the Rolex Submariner, no date, stainless.

I don't know anything about the Clercs.

In my opinion, a watch should keep time, not be your prom date.

 

There is nothing wrong with a bit of arm candy, is there? :jester:

 

Well Kevin is a redneck....lolz

 

The Timex Military Watch. It'll be the last watch you ever need to buy. Only $150. Tough as nails.

ESQ is a great watch and made by Movado - ESQ by Movado | Explore ESQ by Movado Collections I have two of them and are really comfortable. Of course this is always a Rolex if you want something that looks great but can not keep accurate time!

My top picks....I just can't pull a Tag like I really want but if anyone has anymore good brands pass it on...

 

You must take a look at Rado - a fine watch and I have seen them for about $500 and up. I even saw one in a pawn shop for $250 - Rado

 

Nice....I like this one..

I am one of those people that need a watch (ergo my collection) but have several friends who also utilize their mobile devices for time - I couldn't do it (and I am a geek through and through ). My other favorite watch that I wear most often is my Tissot (Amazon.com: Tissot Men's T0015204736100 T-Tactile T-Touch Trekker Watch: Tissot: Watches) T Touch (has a touch screen) and I have several Swiss Army / Wenger watches...

 

I have a Tissot also and it is nice but the band is not as smooth as others like the ESQ or Tag. Actually, another that I have and love is a RAYMOND WEIL - RAYMOND WEIL Luxury Watches :: Luxury Swiss Watches :: Men & Ladies Swiss Luxury Watches
