edwelly 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Ok guys – I am looking for a new watch and I was hoping you guys might be able to give me some suggestions on certain watches out there that would fit my criteria. - Nothing bigger than 44mm, preferably 40-42mm - Light weight - Wears well with brown and black - Rubber band - I do not care about working chrono’s or calendars. If there are on the watch, great, but they don’t have to work. - Looking to spend as little as possible at this time About me. I work in IT as a network admin and I want a daily wearer. Something that would most likely be worn 4-5 days a week. I generally wear khaki pants and a polo. Given that I work in a semi blue collar environment, a Rolex isn’t what I am looking to wear. Watches I do like: Breitling Blackbird (too expensive), LOVE Omega’s, Oris and Tag Thanks everyone for your help. Erik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinCaidk 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Chopard Mille Miglia maybe: 44mm though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edwelly 0 Posted April 6, 2011 Here is one that I really like a lot but for $68 I am concerned about how it will hold up. Again all I care about is keeping time. Tag Gran Carrera: http://www.timesshop.net/product.php?id_product=7489 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert usually has them too but I can't remember his price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldrick 1 Posted April 6, 2011 As suggested above, you can't go wrong with a Chopard Mille Miglia, you can mix'n'match with brown black and rubber straps, available around the $100+ mark, it's well finished and isn't a screamer, classy enough for formal and chilled enuff for casual wear, good choice.

Amit 72 Posted April 6, 2011 who don't you go for a 42mm Omega PO. or even if you wear Khaki's i think Panerai is the way to go. BR-02 is maybe another option. the omega and B&R can be had on rubber strap which would go more with your look Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amit 72 Posted April 6, 2011 Baldrick i like the look of that strap in your first pic. any ideas where i may be able to source on. i got a MM GTXL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

edwelly 0 Posted April 6, 2011 I am not trying to say anything bad about Timeshop here. I am just trying to understand how all of this works. I currently found 2 Chopard's on Timeshop's site that I like, but they are around $68-$78. Should this low price be of concern? http://www.timesshop.net/product.php?id_product=7157 http://www.timesshop.net/product.php?id_product=370 Again, still super new here so if my question is out of line, please let me know and I will remove it.

tsomers 0 Posted April 9, 2011 I am a network admin also and wear a gen tag aqua racer automatic, noticed it's getting a little beat up, so bought two omega reps and they will become my daily beaters. I think I saw Robert has a omega po pro for 99.00, I'll see if I can dig up the link. http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...?showtopic=6237 Throw rubber on this and you would be good to go.
