wouldn't it just be easier to ask people to list non-hipster watches
This is what I have. Pure and simple. [img]http://i.cubeupload.com/0iT6zP.jpg[/img]
If you want to be classy, go to a jeweler.
[QUOTE=Killuah;27986679]If you want to be classy, go to a jeweler.[/QUOTE] Generally good advice, but for sub-$100 watches online is your best bet. The downside is that you can't try shit on in advance to see if you'd like it. If there's a Tourneau in your area, throw on some decent clothes and you can go try on some nice watches. It might help for inspiration anyhow.

[QUOTE=hydra263;27983905]I have one of those old pocket watches, bought it from a thrift store. Too fucking classy.[/QUOTE] Mine broke. :smith:
[img]http://www.swatch-shop.co.uk/blustery.jpg[/img] Mine is like that, only light blue background and those three round things are silver, bought it 4 years ago and still works like a charm.
[QUOTE=Dutchlike;27986997]Mine broke. :smith:[/QUOTE] What happened to it? I wore a pocket watch for a couple months as a teenager until I realized I looked like a dickhead. Not saying anyone does currently; I couldn't pull it off.
I have one of these, and i love it, 4 years so far. [img]http://www.timeway.eu/images/Festina-montre-sport-2.jpg[/img] Can't say it's simple, but it's awesome.

I never really understood the point of watches since cellular phones became popular.
[QUOTE=JuiceHead3311;27987267]I never really understood the point of watches since cellular phones became popular.[/QUOTE] Never hurts to be prepared. If your phone fucks up nowadays... well... there goes your ability to communicate AND tell the time. If you've got a watch... well, you have a backup.

[QUOTE=Aw_Hell;27985797]My watch; Pros: bright orange, water proof (10 atm), very resilient and scratch resistant, Orange bits on the face and hands glow in the dark and keeps great, accurate time Cons: date slot can only be wound forward (if you accidentally set it a day forward have fun letting it sit for a day or winding it until it goes back) and the black bits of the body (60, 30, 45 and squared ware off): Here's a pic: [img_thumb]http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9809/fossilmensrubberstrapsp.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Want.

All the way to Page 2 and no Swiss Mondaines? [img]http://images.askmen.com/fashion/watch/mondaine-swiss-railways-evolution_1.jpg[/img]
[QUOTE=Edi;27984689]Damn man, those all look like really gay pieces of plastic. The only good watches are gold and silver watches (in my opinion). $8000 platinum rolex fuck yeah. Even a cheaper steel watch is cool. Metal pretty much wins. Not a gay plastic kid's watch... You'll get robbed wearing a metal watch though. Digital watches are really gay aswell Have a look at this badass motherfucker: [img_thumb]http://fototime.com/%7BCFF70D84-B17F-4F77-9857-728D61B7D8D6%7D/picture.JPG[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] i agree with this. i mean, i wouldn't go for a rolex at my age, but i have a stainless steel seiko. it's a very plain design, but it looks classy. i picked it up at my local wholesale store for 90 bucks. it looks like easily 150-200 watch. get a stainless steel one like me, it makes you look like more of a man.
Does anyone under 25yrs of age still wear those things :confused:
