hey my brother is looking for a new watch and i thought i'd ask for him, he really likes this one but he's still in college and doesnt want to spend that much

http://www1.macys.com/catalog/produc...tegoryID=29299

he's not that into fashion/style and everything but he's pretty much set on a black, metal band, chronograph (chronograph part optional but must have day/date) for around 100-200, he also likes the ceramic types but that's a bit more expensive

sorry if this isn't the right thread but i thought it would get some replies

I wasn't too sure about this the first couple times I wore it, but it's starting to grown on me:

Dial was in great shape. I got a new strap and new crystal, plus the parts got serviced. It is indeed in fantastic shape!

This is from the 1930's by Piaget. They took a real $20 gold coin (1 ounce) and emptied out the middle and threw a watch in there! A small button on the side of the "coin" opens the face of the coin to reveal the watch. Truly an amazing piece, and a centerpiece in my watch collection.

Nice vintage piece, really looking to purchase more vintage but can't find a dealer I trust. Way too many fakes circulating.

I am 20 years old and just purchased my first watch, from a secondhand dealer.

Here is a picture of it before I receive it, this is just a teaser pic.

A big purchase at my age for $600...

Hard to find an Omega with more than just hash marks for the hour markers, and I wanted a white/steel toned watch to be more versatile, and I ordered a cotton strap as well for more casual occasions. I am very excited for its arrival, fingers crossed that it makes it through customs at the US/Canada border.

What do you guys think?
