A poor kid's christmas wish...


Okay, my family in florida is filthy rich, which is weird because i can't relate to the rich-ness because i come from a middle-class family in north-eastern ohio... my dad owns his own small business and my mom is a secretary for some big deal doctor. Still, we struggle every year, especially around christmas. This year I'm only going to ask my parents for one thing and one thing only. My dad said he really wants to get me something nice that he thinks i'll have for a long time. We talked about it and finally decided on getting me a watch.

I, being the funny-ha-ha guy that I am, suggested a Seiko Kinetic right off the bat and my dad almost had a heart attack. Seiko's go for about $600.

So, I've come up with these three watches, all are under $100.. just out of curiosity, which one do you guys think i should get. i mean, i like all three about the same, so the lean of this community, whose oppinion i trust for some insane reason ( ) will decide which time-piece i get..

here's the line up.. OH, and if any of you have any suggestions that'd be great. Like if you know of watches under $100 that are cool as hell, gimme pics

FOSSIL Gunmetal Degrade Dial. $65


FOSSIL Blue Degrade Dial also $65


FOSSIL Champagne Degrade Dial .. $75


And, the most expensive ones...
FOSSIL Gunmetal Degrade Chronograph .. $85


FOSSIL Gold Dial, Dress Chrono ... $95


well, there they are... to be honeset, i think i like the last one the most, but it's pretty pricey.. i dunno. you guys gimme info..

A little more but so damn stylish - Uber watch

Fossil make some nice watches, although I'm not too sure if the qualitys good... I've got a few friends with some, so I'll ask for you My dad's had a Seiko watch for around 15 years now though, so those things last You can pick them up new for around $75 on amazon too.

agree, I really hate gold, I think it looks tacky.

Silver > Gold

I like the gold. I wear suits to work every day and have a movado and two tag heuers. The movada and one of the tags have gold inlays and they go very well with business attire. They are very striking and look nice.

If you are not going to be wearing the watch for getting dressed up then I defintely would not go with the gold. However, if you wear business clothes I nominate the gold all the way.

I'd go with anything by Fossil tbh. Love those watches.

I have one of the large Red dragon watches with the motion background. Gift from my gf, it's ace.

4 and 5 are my favorites.. 4 is in the lead, though, haha.. :P
what i like about five, the one with the gold dial, is that it's more of a champagne color. there's actually very little gold on the watch. my Nana & Papa (grandparents on my mother's side) are getting me the suit of my choice for christmas this year. they figure i need a nice suit since i'm going to be going to talk to publishers and what not pretty soon. i love it. new suit, new watch. sweeeet. i'll post some of the suits concepts i've been looking at. you guys can help me with those, too. :P this is gonna be my "dan goes sexy adult" christmas! woot-sauce!

Men's Warehouse has some really good suits at discounted prices. I haven't bought any suits from them but I have seen their selection and have bought a shirt or two from them.

What they do is receive last seasons clothes and surplus clothes from high end fashion stores. They will then sell them at a reduced price. I've seen some nice Donna Karan suits there for great prices. They also have great customer service for picking out ties and shirts to match. I give it a big thumbs up

i want a black pinstripe suit soooooooooo bad it's not even funny. my friend Jay is my exact same size and build and i borrowed one of his Black pinstripe suits to go to this formal thing for one of my ex-girlfriend's dad's business things. don't ask how i got into that mess.. just don't.

but, i loved it and everyone said i looked good in it. it was a great suit. i forget who it was by.. hugo boss or something. had a really nice deep blue shirt and matching tie... god it was fucking l33t... so, that's what i'm looking into.

would men's wearhouse carry hugo boss? cuz that suit's about a year old.
