Hey guys, I know a lot of you collect, are into watches here. I am looking to buy a new one this year, I lost one of my old ones, nothing nice just a Fossil in a move. I am looking for something Classy but maybe unique and bold, my normal attire will be business casual dress. Not a super huge budget at this time as I'm dropping a large sum on a relocation so i'm trying to stay under $250, what brand/types would you recommend for that price? links pictures welcome.

Hopefully in the next few years I can be on Presser and some of your levels, with a Tag or something comparable.

Very ODD you just mentioned this yesterday, as I just bought my wife a Tag Heuer Formula 1 watch for Mother Days yesterday lol, This one here:

And Bolova makes some decent watches in that price range, as does Kenneth Cole!

I think you will find that Kenneth Cole makes the best looking watch in that price range! Hell one of my Kenneth Cole watches is one of my better looking watches and it was only $400 and its better looking then some of my really expensive ones!

So check them out if you can, I promise Kenneth Cole makes a bad ass watch, good quality, great prices, and very Fashionable!!!

Wow thanks bro, looking at them now, Kenneth Cole does make some bad ass looking ones too. You're right some of these are better looking then some high dollar ones. Might be able to snag two for my budget at these prices. Good to know the quality is still there too.

That is one hell of a nice Mothers day gift man nice pick.
 
Man I'm not normally a watch guy but presser was dam right, those Kenneth Cole watches are sweet lookin for the money.

Check out Michael Kors watches they are right in your wheelhouse and have some nice offerings. I've been looking for a new one as well and I've been checking out Diesel which many will be in your price range also. They are massive though which is what I'm looking for in the 60+ millimeter range.

wow thanks for all the names guys, been so busy with work having a hard time doing much research you guys are making my search easy. Diesels look pretty sick I think maybe a hair too big for my taste, but looks like they have some smaller ones too.
 
For smaller faces check out the mini daddy and double down. Google search diesel watches them then sort by price low to high and start looking around the 160 buck area moving up. Between 160 and 250 you should definitely find something you like.

I guess Im getting old cause those diesel watches look ghetto to me lol
 
lol some of them do but heck I have a friend with a Rolex that's about as ghetto as it gets. Now it costs over 150k but it's still ghetto as all get out. I don't think you are showing your age presser hell I'm right there with you.
 
It's platinum with diamonds everywhere. It's flat out gaudy. Do a quick search of platinum and diamond rolex. There are some listed now for 240k dollars.

I think for an every day watch, fossil still makes good stuff. I have done Invicta, and their bands suck! Expensive and not worth it. My favorite watch is my prometheus. But that's a $700 watch and I won't wear that everyday.

Yeah bro i have been looking at fossil's too, I used to have a couple of them back in college they were pretty solid. Hellifound some of those Kenneth cole's i like on amazon for like 80 bucks. I might just grab 2 of those and a fossil i like and get 3 for just over $250, then next year save up for a really nice one for special occasions.
 
yeah i totally forgot about Fossil, I use to wear them a lot back in the day but haven't owned one in years and my old ones all broke, only watches that have stood the test of time for me so far are my Kenneth Coles, my luxury watches are all fairly new so i have no idea how they'll hold up, but Kenneth Cole has been rock solid and they are bad ass looking!

and Masher bro that is some serious change for a fucking watch lol, I wouldn't buy a watch that cost that much dough unless i was worth tens of millions of dollars lmao, and right now my net worth is about ten dollars lmao so no quarter million dollar watch for me thank you very much lmao
