Your shirt cuffs need ironed, and the sleeves look too long. And both your outfits are bunching around the shoulders. And I am a little curious about the collar of your friend's shirt -- it looks a bit short.

But don't take it too personally... at least you got paid!

Just can't decide to get the white face or blue face, I already have a fossil watch that is very simliar to the black face dial

I'm also a fan of this watch. And I tried it on(white face brown strap) at Macy's and I REALLY liked it.

Macy's price is $450...can get it online for $280 area.

Buying my first watch is a tougher decision than I ever thought it would be. LOL

I should ditch my Omega for some of these watches. They look GREAT!

And please, no more posting of Omegas and Rolexes in this thread. Can't some of you get it in your heads, they are NOT poor man's watches!

$35 on amazon, got it for $22 on the bay. Score.

How about a $12 Rolex? I bought it some years ago in Mexico (for people who are impressed by that sort of thing).

Are you sure you didn't steal it off the guy in your avatar?

An Omega is not a poor man's watch. And I feel somehow offended that you call it one given that I own an Omega that I love and cherish very much.

A few photos of my watches. I also have the Orvis (pics a few pages back) and a Freestyle Shark digi that I use for running, mtn biking etc. Swiss Army. Given to me in 1995 by a girlfriend(nympho). I wear this often and rotate those nato bands during warm weather months. I think you can buy these for around $150-$200. Kenneth Cole. Given to me by my Aunt in 1999 or 2000 I think. Don't wear it too often. These usually sell for $80-$120, widely available. LL Bean. Given to me by my wife in 2005. I wear this a lot. Original black leather strap has a tear so I usually use a nato strap on it. They have a few different models. This one is about $90
