Tsovet watches

[djh]

So I'm looking for an watch that I can wear everyday, and my budget is around 200. I want something with a bit of bulk, so these Tsovet watches seem to fit the bill.. EXCEPT they're a bit expensive for me. Just wanted to get opinions on Tsovet -- I've never heard of this brand before, so I know nothing about the quality of them... http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_OJ4kn8tfKg...h/TSOVET+2.jpg I'm currently a high school senior, so I want a pretty casual watch that I can wear with anything. The above one is about what I'm looking for, just want to see if anyone has other recommendations for other watches? Thanks!

I also like the look of those U-Boat watches, and also the IWC big pilots, but they're wayyyy out of my price range.

I met the guy who makes Tsovet at Legion. Actually, Ilan from Legion and a few others at the party were saying how great the watches were. At 25% off I was giving some thought to them but chickened out. Kinda regretting it now.

those caught my eye at Legion too. pretty cool I have 2 similar Russian Divers by Adee Kaye (black face with red numbers and black face with white numbers)....there seemed to be a few on sale before on amazon for around $120, but I dont see any right now. Basically the same watch, built like a tank, and the scratchproof sapphire crystal really is scratchproof. I wear mine as dailies and not a scratch on the glass. Leather strap is really thick but supple. Here is one on ebay BIN for $93. black w/orange Black with white but costs double btw, the Tsovet watches are quartz and run by battery. The Adee Kaye above are automatic movement.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't really like the Adee Kaye logos on the faces... I'd prefer something with a smaller logo What's the difference between quartz and automatic? And don't both run on battery? (watch noob here

)

Automatic means that the watch runs off of a battery which gets its power from your kinetic movement.

Actually Automatic means that it has a spring powered movement which is self winding. I think you are refering to (Seiko) Kinetic watches. Cheers

I saw the Tsovet watches on the Blackbird store blog a while back and also thought that several of the models looked appealing, especially for the price. I would be interested in viewing the watches in person sometime.

I made the mistake of showing my parents the black Tsovet from Brigade - it's already come in for my Christmas present (mistake since I could have been wearing it, had I ordered the thing...). I stopped by to take a look, it's great. The watch part is even thicker than I would have guessed without being ridiculous, and the black face on black leather is nicely understated.

watches are obsolete. cell phones tell time just as well...

I'm tired of looking like a douchebag when I pull out my iPhone to check the time.
