I'm bored and wanting to spend some money. I've always been a fan of watches so I think diversifying my collection will be a good idea. Looking for a good young professional watch. Any suggestions? Price range is probably around $150-$600. Like I said, I'm bored with my life and my watch will keep me company. Or at least, keep time!

You could hire a driver to take you to Ames.

Not going to get much of a watch for $600. Maybe just go on an all night bender for $250 and pocket the change? :drink:

Watches are like scarves for your wrist.

Lots of help so far, so I'll continue....
This one is great, because you get a watch and a mouse to keep you company!

EDIT: Sorry this watch is way out of your price range: http://domaingang.com/domain-news/tragic-error-marks-epic-sale-of-frank-schilling-watches/

I think this might fit into your price range...

Yeah, there was a better one about a year before that too. Too lazy to find

For me, one of the best parts of buying a watch is the hunt. Might get some ideas here: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f71/ (http://forums.watchuseek.com/f71/)
Saw this article today on a maker that seems to fall squarely in your range, although they run sales, too: http://dappered.com/2012/10/win-it-the-christopher-ward-c9-harrison-automatic/ (http://dappered.com/2012/10/win-it-the-christopher-ward-c9-harrison-automatic/)
Also, well below your price range, but an interesting brand is Vostok out of Russia. In-house movements and I've heard that some watch aficionados wear one as their "beater" watch. If you're a Wes Anderson fan, Steve Zissou wore one (http://watchesinmovies.info/tag/vostok/).

I like your holiday bowl watch. Don't get a new one.
-
Are you going to get a buggy whip also?
-
Watches are fantastic. Endulge, bro.

The Christopher Ward watches are exactly what I'm looking for right now. I love the understated luxury in them. And I was looking for something with a band.

I will be buried with this watch on my wrist. Just want to switch it up a bit.

I am going to find you, open up the face of your new watch and take a dump in it, then seal it back up. Then it will always be poop o'clock for you. Maybe quarter till turd. j/k

I despise wearing watches. "Hey everybody, I have a tiny clock on my wrist! Hope I don't scratch it. :crossfingers:" Pffft.

Yea, because pulling your your Iwhatever to check the time is efficient. I hope you drop it in the toilet.

Symmetry of weight is very important for me. Watches put me off-balance.

I've been kinda disappointed by my citizen perpetual calendar. I've had to replace the capacitor once, while only a minor charge, it was annoying and a known issue. Its also a bitch to set.

Huge arm muscles make this not a huge deal.

I've got pretty massive pythons and tiny wrists, which is an elite set-up for watch wearing. Still, I'll have nothing to do with them.

Ok, well make that huge arm muscles and taste. Watches tell people much more than time.

You really stepped in it there CNS Casey. Huge arm muscles and taste are mutually exclusive. Nothing tackier in a man than big guns. Two tickets to the gun show CNS Casey? Not if you've got an iota of refinement.

The lady that I buy my tanning cream from and the guy who I buy my camo cargos from completely disagree with you. What now?
