Default OT: Watches

I happen to be searching Ebay for watches and I come across Sekio Final Fantasy watch. I must say, I really really like that watch. But there is a market for them that your finale fantasy fans are willing to pay big bucks for them....

anyhow, with that said, i'm in a watch kick....I want to buy a watch, but I would like to have something different....something like that final fantasy watch but not 750 bucks....

anyone seen some watches that are different?

thanks,

Movado and Tag both make great sports watches for under $1k. He're is one of mine. (I think the numerals look similar to what is on our late gauges)

I am into breitlings lately, have a superocean myself..... but that is just slightly way out of the price range my next one will probably be a blackbird... hows your watch worth more than the average 944

a watch is a lifetime investment, dont be afraid of the price tag.

Try the official watch of the Italian Navy: www.panerai.com. I have the Panerai Luminor Marina :44mm case, 3 straps ( brown alligator,black alligator deployment clasp, and rubber). Tags are way too common and Rollies are overrated---both of mine are collecting dust.

Id go with an Omega Speedmaster. Id hump a circus midget with a mild case of herpes for one of those puppies.

Being that as it may however, the economy dictates I wear a Swatch chronograph from my duty free shopping in Maui.

Wow, that watch is amazing! Too bad it costs an arm and a leg.

the techno marine are pretty cool...but its still not quite what im' looking for...

i'm looking for something similar to the seiko final fantasy style and look...i'm guessing that if i want that look, then im going to have to buy...but i wanted to see if anyone knew of anyother brand that made watches in that type of style...

thanks,
