Watches
« on: February 11, 2007, 01:44:02 AM »
A great watch will often scream "success" at those who see you wearing it.  Though, not everyone can afford to pay, or wants to pay, the big money for the big names; ie Rolex, Omega, Brietling, etc.  So, for those of you that would like to wear a nice watch that will scream success to others, but not cause you to scream for blowing your savings, I'd like to introduce you to some watches that will do just that.

Klaus Kobec

I love this brand of watches.  They make really great watches that look great.  They are simple, elegant, and best of all, they are built to last.

Here are some of my favorites from this brand (You can click on their photos to learn more):

Destiny - made with a ceramic band and costs around $340



Couture - there are a variety of bands and faces with this style.  I've included 3 pictures of my favorite.  They caost around $190.


Invicta

I learned about this brand of watches from a buddy of mine that can afford most any watch he wants.  He said that this is one of his favorite brands of watch and gets a ton of comments on them when he wears them.

Speedway Chronograph - This watch is a classic style chronograph that looks superb for only $120 t0 $150.



Lupah Dragon Chronograph - This is a very modern and stylish style of watch that can both dress up and dress down.  Cost around $170


So, there you go.  I hope this helps you out.

This is one weird post!
Tyler, are you gettin' paid to advertise or what?!!  ???

I like pimp watches, (from Japan)  they're pretty cool,
although I don't wear one myself, they tend to pull out the tiny little hairs on
my arms  ;D

No, not getting paid to advertise (I wish!!) - though I am an affilliate of Amazon, so I do get paid if you click on the link and buy one.  I just really dig watches and thought I would pass on the info since I get so many complements on mine.

Oh boy, you Brits are still holding on to the Pound?!
Come and join the rest of the European community and adopt the Euro. It's risky, it's wicked, it's exciting.
Come and join us....muahaha! ;D

Seriously now: Tyler, this is a great post. I found it quite useful. I'll probably have to buy a nice
watch one of these days (adding a little to my street cred). I really liked the Lupah Dragon Chronograph - very
nice and sophisticated...

As far as the Dollar is concerned: yes, it depreciates while the Euro grows stronger. And yet you guys in the US
can buy all kinds of stuff 30% cheaper than us Europeans.
So who's the winner and who's the loser? :(

God, I just revisited the watch page at Amazon, and it says: "Shipping: Currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S."

I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU.......  ;)

Since cell phones have clocks, I now usually don't wear a watch. But when I do, I have a Citizen quartz my wife gave me a few yrs ago that is awesome (gorgeous watch w/o the huge pricetag...$200 I think). For running, I have some huge sports watch (I think it's a Reebok faceplate with Casio guts) that does split times, heart rate, pace calculation, stock quotes, brews coffee, and my horoscope in 13 languages, including Pig latin for IgPay EnPay (PigPen).
