Yeah, I'm honestly surprised they still make regular watches. The smartwatch business has had to put a hurting on them.

You have a number of dive watches. That a hobby? Omega is a classic watch.
I’ve been taking watches apart and learning the insides. Fun hobby.

The watch is the only piece of jewelry or accessory that most men wear. There is a definite subculture out there of guys who love watches.

I need a new watch but I’ve never been big into watches. What’s a good watch to look into that has a clean look without to much going on? I’m mostly in office attire and a business setting.

I like watches, I’m just too hard on them. I stopped wearing them years ago 
Posted on 3/24/20 at 3:51 pm to LovetheLord
I do dive and use them as needed especially the Omega Seamaster.

What would you say you want to spend on one?
Posted on 3/24/20 at 3:57 pm to A-TOWNUAFAN
I get some pretty nice watches through Amazon. I try not to spend more than $100. Just a matter of what you are looking for: color, band type, face shape, etc.

Check out Orient watches. They are quite reasonable and have a good selection of business casual watches. I also like the Citizen Ecodrives. They charge via any light source. Basically they never need to be wound or need a battery change. Cartier has a nice Ronde Solo line that is fairly reasonable, depending on what you would call reasonable.
Personally I would advise you to stay away from quartz watches. Get you an automatic.
Here is a Theorema.
This Bulova is pretty sharp too.
Another Bulova
Tissot
Bulova
Seiko and Pulsar are more than just dime-store watches too. I think that both have Ecodrive options.
Enjoy the hunt.

Anyone have any leads for getting a new Submariner from an AD? I've been in the market for one but understand it has been a matter of waiting lists, etc. Not sure whether the market plunge changed things... Anyway me know if anyone has an AD source like I said.

I get a surprising number of compliments on my Invicta Pro Diver, black face, green bezel. It looks sharp but Invicta Pro Divers are usually cheap enough (under $100 for a quartz movement) that I have one in every color of the rainbow.

Which Patek you want? I’d like the Perpetual Chrono with the Moon phase reference 3970. As if I will ever be able to afford anything like that. Edit: Pretty sure they wouldn’t let me even hold it.
Sweet watch. I usually like the silver look, but I think the gold perpetual is nice.
Calatrava in white gold. Would be my formal watch. But I’ll probably never even touch it. I imagine that if I walked into a Patek dealer, I would probably get shadowed by security. Lol.

Jim, can I call you Jim?
If you like that particular watch, Cartier has some stuff out that is pretty similar. The new Ronde Solo looks great and has that same platinum/stainless steel look. They are pretty reasonable as well. You could get a gold Ronde Louis for your formal watch and the Solo for daily wear.

Yeah, for an inexpensive, nice looking watch, Citizen and Seiko make some really good options. That eco drive by Citizen is pretty cool. If you want to spend a bit more, a TAG is a good one. I have a TAG as my second watch that I hardly ever wear anymore. I fell in love with that Breitling and wear it almost all the time.
Posted on 3/24/20 at 6:49 pm to phil4bama
Is that Breitling 42mm?
Posted on 3/24/20 at 7:36 pm to LovetheLord
I like that American Clipper by Bulova. I’m partial to white or black face
Posted on 3/24/20 at 7:50 pm to LovetheLord
Jim or Lizard King. Either works. Lol.
I don’t normally like Cartier, but the ronde Louis is nice.
I almost bought a used calibre de Cartier a couple of years ago.
But it’s would be hard for me to get as much use out a watch as I do my sub. Aesthetically, I like the omega planet ocean - black face - better, but it would be hard for me to trade in a Rolex for it.

Orient has done some great things with homage watches. You can likely find something like that Patek.
Take a look at these and see if you aren't impressed.
Edit: Yes, hold onto that Submariner. Unless you trade for another one.
