I have a Reymond Weil Parsifal and the battery goes out once every four months. What is worse, only specialty places will change the battery. What a pain in the ass. Now I just wear a Red Cross watch that is $50. nitro
Well, everyone has different style. Mine is more classic. What I have now are all gifts and hold sentimental value. I have an Orvis chrono w/ brown leather band that I wear often. My parent's gave it to me as a birthday gift. I have a Swiss Army w/ brown leather band that I wear. It was given to me by an ex-gf. I have a Seiko that looks just like a Rolex. Silver steel band with gold color trim. My Father gave that to me 10yrs ago when I started wearing suits to work. Probably the most accurate watch I've ever owned. Only changed the battery once. I have a Kenneth Cole w/ black band that was given to me by my Godmother a few years ago. I think I've narrowed it down to an Omega or the Oris. Something understated and classic. I'm gonna search around Ebay but I'm a bit hesitant. I don't want a fake that someone bought off 5th Avenue.
Just check Feedback. If you find someone who's sold hundreds or thousands of watches with 99% positive feedback then you're ok.
