    Stainless Steel Watch $500-$700

    This is very good advice. However, if the OP desires to learn about good watches in the hopes of acquiring more, I think it's advisable to get a "starter" mechanical watch, like a sub-$100 Seiko to see if an automatic watch is something he likes wearing, or if it brings more frustration to his...

    Stainless Steel Watch $500-$700

    That's a nice watch, but be aware that the bezel is rather chunky for a non-diver. It wouldn't really work as a traditional dress watch if that's what you were looking for. Also, the bracelet only has full links and only two microadjustment holes on the clasp. If you're anywhere in-between, the...

    Stainless Steel Watch $500-$700

    I have decided to go with a Seiko for $60-200. Has anyone had experience with worldofwatches.com? When I see 80% off of retail prices I tend to think it is a scam. Example: http://www.worldofwatches.com/Seiko-..._brand_id=2293 Excellent choice, although that Alpinist that I posted is a peach...

    Also the reissue of the Alpinist is within your range: http://www.seiyajapan.com/product/S-...t-SARB015.html A little bit about its history: http://www.gmtplusnine.com/2009/02/1...eiko-branding/ I might have to get this one myself...

    Stainless Steel Watch $500-$700

    This is a fun challenge. I love Seikos and they fit your price range. 1 watch: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSAL...ackSBDC001.htm (Not sure how the bracelet is, its hard to tell from pictures if they are any good.) or get two: Casual: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/WATCHSAL...ackMonster.htm...

    HELP!! Briefcase for the BF

    I agree. But in the mean time, he desperately needs something to take to business meetings. Half the time he forgets something he is suppose to take because he just carries it all and throws it in the back seat of the car. But so far, from everyone's suggestions, I'm considering these...

    HELP!! Briefcase for the BF

    I think I hate San Francisco.

    true. Cabs never gave me a problem. If you're a native, they really don't mess with you. Come to think of it, I've unfairly maligned central american taxis. The very worst in cabs are those in Long Island. They are filthy. They take an hour to come. When they finally show up you are crammed in...

    I think I hate San Francisco.

    I'm a native and I've ridden a taxi in SF less than 5 times. They're simply not needed unless you're a tourist (which sucks i know). Very diff than NY Cabbies are one of the oldest mafias in town and their unions have made it hard as **** for any type of reform. Not enough, too expensive, dirty...

    I think I hate San Francisco.

    Let's hear it. Florence, Paris, Prague, Barcelona, Montreal, at least a half-dozen greek islands, and about half-dozen Thai islands. But all said, on looks of the city alone, SF takes the U.S. crown. I'd still rather live in LA.

    I think I hate San Francisco.

    Here is the way I think about NY and SF. If you are on the east coast and ambitious and smart - you head out to NY and try and become a investment banker or other business person. On the west coast - you go to Silicon Valley and try a startup. On the east coast - if you are gorgeous - you head...
