Anniversary gift for me! Hamilton Watch?

[Godfuader]

Wifey wants to buy me a watch for our anniversary. I capped our budget at ~$1,000 for each of us. Figured in that price range I would be looking at Hamilton type watches. I am a fan of Swatch, so I know Hamilton will have the quality behind it. I want a dressy watch that will stay classy for years. Included below are the designs I like from Hamilton. Anyone have suggestions about other brands in this range.

Note: I will be buying it from my watch dealer in Miami so it has to been a new piece from mainstream brands. With my discounts I could hit ~$1,500 msrp.





Thanks!

I'm a big fan of the second one. Something about the rose cold and the textured face that says classic and timeless

Same. That's what I wear very regularly. That exact watch.

With discounts you'll be around $1,200 or so, doubt you'll get it sub-$1,000.

Watches in that range:

Tissot Couturier Chronograph (see my review: http://www.watchesyoucanafford.com/t...omatic-review/)

Lower-end Grand Seiko

Lower-end Raymond Weil (probably a Freelancer)

Lower-end Longines

Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono

Tissot PRC200 Chrono (new model)

Note: lower-end doesn't mean "low-end", it just means that it isn't the cream of the crop for that brand.

This. I love mine

Ill grab a quote on the 2nd one and a couple more from A790's list from my guy.

I absolutely love the 1st one with the blue face. Any other classy blue faced recommendations?

Edit: Justing - Just noticed that you are a forum sponsor. Would you mind running me quotes on both the watches. I will be in Calgary at the end of the month.

Thanks!

that blue jazzmaster auto chrono makes my jazzmaster feel less awesome

The blue one will not be available till October

Any other suggestions for clean blue faces around $1500 msrp?

[Godfuader]

What about Lum Tec? Is it a decent watch, or does it just have a uniqueness factor?

Theses are the ones I was looking at:

Your interpretation of "clean" may vary from mine, but I'd get a Certina DS Action Diver...
