While on this topic of shopping, women of CF. Opinions needed on this watch or any other watches from this site.

I'm not a huge watch guy, but looking for one for a conference I have to go to in NYC.

Guys can chime in as well. Not looking to break the bank and don't know of many good watch places.

I'm a huge "watch guy" and have quite the collection of Swiss watches. I love Victorinox because it's Swiss quality without being expensive.

These are all around the $500 range but you might be able to find something on ebay for a little less. Something of this quality will not only be noticed (in a good way) but last forever and never go out of style.

For business a black leather strap with a silver face is a can't lose. Only wear this with black pants though, no black leather band with a brown suit! I wear my silver link watches (I have both a silver face and a blue face like this) depending on the shirt color I am wearing. I find the silver links provide more options.

I wouldn't wear the first example because I don't like the dark face with that strap but it's a pretty common combination. I also own the blue one I showed you and wear it very often.

Gross dude. Remember that awesomeness you were claiming to have? That would go away quick if you walked around in that old man watch.
Well I want one for a conference where I'm with 10,000 people that are all older than me by 20-30 years to make me look mature and like I belong even though I probably don't.

I'm likely the youngest or one of the youngest persons at the whole thing.

Did you boys all get mad when your parents made you wear a cup to play baseball? Mine did until one of them got hit there by a foul tip (pun really not intended).

Nope as a Catcher all throughout HS, I was plenty glad I had one.

If I was outfield, I wouldn't wear one

"never bet money that you don't have on a dog race with an ex-girlfriend who happens to be a stripper"

"Tell me you don't find me a little bit attractive."
"You have your moments."
"Well you tell me which moments are my moments and I'll try to duplicate them."

Story of my life.

Is he not wanting to spend a bunch of money or in an immediate hurry? Can't he just go someplace like. Men's Wearhouse even and get some fitted for him?

Doesn't want to spend money. College kids.:rolleyes: Also tightwad like his mother. Should have taken him before he left but he wasn't sure what he would be wearing to work.

All these Tin Cup quotes and the way work has been going have me thinking I need to go for it and get out of here.

I buy my pants and banana republic.

And yes- watches are about the only way a man can let his style be shown in a professional way.

I always used my ties and socks for that. A watch is all fine and dandy to show style, but when you wear the same one every day, it stops being style and starts being just a watch.

Why do you think women switch out their purses so often?

I get annoyed with my wife when she does it because she always forgets something. But I understand why they do it for a special dinner or night out or something.

My watches are just watches too - but I have different ones for different occasions. A little easier to store and switch than a purse.
