re: A good looking and nice dress watch with brown leather band for ~$1.200 - any ideas?

I haven't worn one in many decades. The only people I see wearing watches today, wear big Rolexes and work for a friend who owns an oil company. He never wears a watch.

The last friend I have seen with a watch wore a cheap Timex around 1980. He became a top dog in Shell offshore globally before retiring.

Really? kind of the point

That may have been your point that watches in the price range use stock movements from several companies that are extremely similar but it isn't what you said:

Tissot uses the same movements all the Swiss companies other than Rolex do, just check the model you like and see what is under the hood.

If you had limited your statement to the price point it would be accurate but especially when you mentioned Rolex, which starts at ~5 times the OP's limit it was easy to construe your point completely differently.

Dont be such a try hard, you contradicted yourself in the space of two sentences.

I didn't contradict myself at all. I clarified it was true at the price point which you did not do. My statements were objectively correct, your statement was objectively wrong and could mislead people who aren't as familiar with the subject matter.

There was no need to discuss inhouse movements in this thread as it aint happening near that price point in what the OP is looking for.

Agreed, you just kinda broached the subject and included a potentially misleading statement for others that might read the thread. It isn't WUS it is tOT and some people could easily think all Swiss use the same movements except Rolex which is what you said. I just did a little housecleaning.
