I left my last "dress" watch at a hotel and the maid suspiciously wasn't able to locate it. So now I need to purchase a new one. I don't want to spend a ton of money as I don't wear this watch unless I am dressed nicely. Trying to get the budget around $200.00. What brands should I check out?

Meh, 200 isn't much to work with. Some good value stuff in the 400-1k range. Would check out the forum post here: LINK
Might be some recent deals that come in that range and if not, just keep an eye on it.

What was the "dress" watch you left? That might help point you in the right direction as well.

Fossil is a shite brand but just recently started manufacturing their own movements since Swatch Group is now keeping ETA movements to themselves. They're slowly working on acquiring some decent brands to couple that with (reinvigorating the Zodiac brand for example which I've been considering as a new casual watch). Citizen/Seiko still quality watches if you don't care about Swiss. I'm not a fan of the Shinola stuff here but many like them.

Definitely either a citizen Eco drive or a seiko.

Many of the actual real life ballers I know frequently wear one of those brands.

Check out Massdrop for some good watch deals. May have to wait for the style you want to come up though.

Check out this website Long Island Watch and check out the Orient's. Automatic movements and considered a very good watch for the money by most watch aficionados. They have several good looking dress watches. The Bambino is a favorite of many. FYI many of them are out of stock, but they're getting more in.

Up your budget $100 and get a Tissot so you can separate yourself from the Sieko and Citizen wearers in that price range.

Saw a post by "Broke" and he mentioned Orient.

Did some research and got an Orient Mako. Long Island Watch had the best price. Great watch and service.

I'd get a B-Uhr flieger from Laco. Badass steel case designed by some Germans.

$209 on eBay.


It'd be absolutely beautiful, only downside is that the days are in German...which is kind of cool actually.

What is the over/under on watch threads in the OT?

Has to be set at 150 since I'd say this time 2014.
