For the money, you can find something better than a tag.
Rolex's have lost a lot of the quality and craftsmanship due to them being largely produced.
I was in Tourneau @ the galleria and almost came home with a Bronze Faced Tourneau Safari but the chronograph was fucked up... It was a hell of a deal though, 70% off.
IWC is on the list to get, but i can't justify dropping 1500+ on a watch right now. One day

I have a Baume & Mercier, you should check them out they have some nice stuff as well.

I disagree with that statement. As posted previously I have my Grandfathers Rolex which was purchased in 1958. Last year I sent it to Rolex to have it cleaned and have the crystal polished. They sent it back without touching it. Apparently they were getting to many watches returned to them after they had serviced them so they quit working on their older watches. If they can't just drop in a new part they won't fix it. So much for the Rolex reputation, they may make a nice watch but they won't stand behind it.

The Tag Carrera is also a great watch.

I've always liked the clean look of a Movado, especially the black Museum. I thought the ceramic band was different. I have a couple of those, but usually wear a Citizen Eco-Drive every day. Working around cars, a tall, clunky watch seems to hit everything. I have been pretty happy with this Citizen, especially for the price.
I like the Breitling Bently edition, not real busy like most breitlings, but omega is still my favorite as far as brand. I do have a badass Guess that i got probly 6 or 7 years ago, its sort of black chrome, love it now just as much as always. ill see if i can get a pic up

I like the Bertolucci's but had to spend about 10K. Also Breitling has a lot of nice watches. They are not flashy pimp, but they do look conservative cool.
You could spend 5 bucks or +50,000 on watches. Just depends on what you like. I like my $9.99 Nike watch I got at Sports Authority just fine too.
