What would you guys recommend? My budget is about $500, but I have a buddy who owns a jewelry store and can get me 1/2 off, so street or retail of about $1000 should do. I'm looking for nice and sleek, something that would make a chick do a double take and think "this guy's not too cheap and not too arrogant"  |

Most women won't recognize a Hamilton.
For your needs buy a Tag Heuer Carrera. But please buy an automatic, I just can't see spending more than a couple hudred on a quartz watch. If you want a nice watch and don't care if people will notice it, buy a Marathon, Hamliton, or Tissot. If you want bang for your buck go with an Omega. If you want status buy a Rolex. |

I just need to get over the jeans and t-shirt lifestyle. I'm leaning towards this, simple sleek: http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-37010654304929_2147_9160001 That looks pretty nice. Me personally, I go for leather bands for a nice contrast that doesn't make the watch stick out like a sore thumb. I've been wearing a J.B. Gioacchino ESCULAP, with a sapphire blue face and shark skin band for a few years now. It's an amazing watch that doesn't stand out too much, but does get noticed and complimented on quite often. It was only supposed to be worn when in suite and tie but now I wear it almost everywhere.
