Any watch people? Looking for a new one

try Timezone.com. Like the watch Straight Razor equivalent. You can find quite a few very good deals.

Very true... I've purchased several there for well under half of retail.

If I ever get a new watch it will be one of the
better solar ones. It used to be easy to
flip the clock face of some watches and
make it lefty....

Take a look at Hamilton they are in your price range but I don't know about the left crown. Why not just get a casio G shock?

I would prefer NOT having a metal bracelet

A rotating bezel would be nice, but not essential

I'll have to take some time to look at Hamilton. G-shocks that I remember (long time ago) were all massive and rubbery, and I never liked that overcomplicated look. I'll check them again too.

The Pro Diver, like the Seiko Monster, looks really ugly to me. I don't like such a huge bezel and small face. Funny you mention Watchuseek, though; I came across there when running google searches and spent hours reading around. Mostly stuff out of my price range...

Get a pocket watch. Yes they still make them, and yes, they run on battery too.

I'd gone through a phase where I wanted a vintage one, and then considered a new one recently. The trouble is they are not practical for me when I'm in the classroom (teaching), and I do anticipate I'll be doing a lot of that.

Jimbo,
I have one too, but mine is cooler than yours! My sister gave it to me for Christmas God knows how many years ago--maybe 1993-94. Aside from the clock and calculator, it also holds up to 50 names and phone numbers. YES! I just pulled it out of my sock drawer and the original batteries (for the calculator/phone nbrs) are still good! And judging by some of the phone nbrs, it had to be 1993. I liked the analog watch face, but the calculator and phone nbrs were absolutely worthless so it got tossed into my sock drawer. Oh, I still got the instruction manual that came with it!
Namaste,
Morty -_-

I kept an eye out on Ebay (cause that's where I do all my shopping :-) ) and eventually an Invicta 2770 popped up at a good price, so I pulled the trigger. Here's two wrist shots; the second one showing my Citizen 8700 for comparison. The Invicta is 46mm... I have a pretty small wrist and I'm used to looking down at my 40mm (I think) Citizen, so the Invicta looks sort of like a clock at the moment. I'm sure I'll get used to it, though. It's so much lighter than the Citizen because of the band, and it wears very nicely.
