Please feel free to suggest other watches around $500, but so far i am set on those two.

Which one is better?

2

first one… looks classier and would go better on a night out than number 2. plus would you really use all that shit on number 2? just seems like extra stuff that will go untouched

3

Second more so than the first. If you are set on a steel watch/band maybe consider a seiko

4

I have a nice movado for sale…

5

They both look too cluttered. Movado ftw.

6

post pics and details of the watch you are talking about

7

im not a fan of gold on watches, just my personal opinion…both are pretty baller…i would go for the second one if i had to choose…

8

Waaaayyyyy too cluttered for my taste, but the 1st is way nicer IMO.

Thing about wearing gold watches though, the gold doesn’t take the abuse of a simple stainless band.

9

If I had to choose, it would be #2.

Not a big fan of the gold/silver combo.

And movados ugly as shit.

10

Buy a Seiko

11

#1 looks more classy #2 looks more sporty.

12

#2 FTW
^with all the gold haters on the watch

13

#2

not a fan of gold

14

Number 1.

15

Neither, find a Seiko or a Bulova

16

number 1

17

Seiko

18

Its seems that everyone likes #1 or #2. I should of made a poll :lol:

I already have a Rolex Daytona. the band broke and I never bothered replacing it. Now I cant even find it. its somewhere in the house.

I also have my Father’s Russian Army Watch. He got it when he was in the Red Army.
