This fool says he got one and tossed it in the closet, because...well, basically he's a pansy. He wants a Hamilton instead, maybe he'll trade you for it.

My dad got me a tag calibre 360 for my 18th birthday, but its big and clunky and it hurts my wrist after extended wearings so its usually just in my closet. So i'm looking for the opposite of that. I saw some nice looking ones in GQ ads from Cartier, but I don't know if their price to quality ratio is any good. I'm looking to wear this watch everyday casually (polo and sneakers) and i can also wear with a suit. I'm going to buffalo in 2 weeks so maybe prices are better in the states. does anyone recommend any places i can check out (warehouses) or any specific models and brands? I'm looking to spend around 500 (i'm in university, no money). Thanks for your time

For those who were asking about the 1/100 second dial, here is a very sweet vid showcasing it. It gets next level at 1:39.

Certina Vintage 1960. Swiss mechanical. Not exactly Appreciation, but I love this little watch. Nicely recrafted by The Little Shoppe of Horology here in Mississauga. Silver finish. My crappy photo skillz suggest a little gold. It is a silver case, though, with a little gold on the face.

Patek Dual Time -

Old pic, I never wear it - too much bling for me. I inherited it though, so I haven't gotten up the gumption to sell it. For now, it sits in a safety deposit box . . . .

Nice! A nice brown leather strap would fix the bling problem a bit, although I like that bracelet.
