TT,

This is a fairly ridiculous suggestion you make here. I believe Zenith no longer makes the internals for Rolex and that it might've only been for the Daytona model.

I still think almost everyone cares more about the EXTERNALS of a watch though. Rolex provides timeless styles that justify spending a bit more.

A good tip would be not to get one brand just to get that brand (Rolex is probably huge here), but instead to figure out a price range and style and really do some research.

Got a link that states they no longer make the internals? This is information I received last year during a client brief. I think its a fairly good recommendation for someone on a budget yet still wants a signature time piece.

No offense to the MANY who wear them, but I wish we could get over this whole Movado thing.

Default Second watch

I'd like to get a "second watch." I rock my rolly nearly all the time and would like a cool second watch that's funkier, stylish, good for going out. I wanna spend like $200-$999. Ideas?

I'd take a look at Marcello C. The most popular models are basically Submariner homages, but they have some more unique designs too. Hamilton Khakis are really nice too.

If the possible uncoolness of wearing a japanese brand doesn't scare you, I'd recommend Seikos. Their designs range from beautiful classics to absolutley [censored] up and everything in between. Plus they make their own movements, which is nice. IMO, nothing is even close to Seiko considering price-quality ratio.

Rolex's latest addition to the Daytona hysteria was launched at the end of 2000. The 116520 which like the rest of Rolex's models has an extra 1 prefix to differentiate it from the others. There have been a few dial refinements but the main difference is the fact that Rolex are now using an in house movement instead of the old Zenith one.

I got $100 gift card to Banana Republic. The website has extensive choices. I'm not a big fan of BR, but I'm sure I can find something. Instead, I want you to tell me what I need/can benefit the most from/will look good in.

Please present 2 or 3 options. Total cost $80-$130. Please avoid dress shirts and shoes.

[/ QUOTE ]

- Just the jacket (not crazy about the rest of the pieces) - $99

- $149. Its daring, wont be that common even though its BR.

- Its a bit more expensive than JBB's budget, but its worth the extra investment.

The cut on the overcoat is atrocious.

TT, you never really said what you thought would be a more appropriate watch for the whole Savile Row look. This is an example of a vintage Bulova Curvex that I really like.

Atrocious is overstating it a bit, but for the price point (remember its a slinding scale) its decent and about as good as BR gets. Its not a long term keeper, but its a good second coat that will last a season.

Nice. Timeless, classic. Alternatively you can also go retro-70's (even a timex old-school didgital watch might look cool), but I think your path is better.
