I’m looking for an every day work watch. I’d like a skeleton I think, any ideas on where to look for a sub $500 example? Can either be metal or leather although I’d think a metal strap makes more sense. I have small dainty wrists too so something I can find a vendor for locally to go try on would be good. I’m assuming in this price range that shouldn’t be hard. ---

what size crown are you looking for, what do you consider every day, more casual or formal ![http://www.watchuseek.com/site/images/welder/k24-1728-600.jpg](http://www.watchuseek.com/site/images/welder/k24-1728-600.jpg) [http://www.watchuseek.com/site/welder\_k24\_shop.htm](http://www.watchuseek.com/site/welder_k24_shop.htm) ---

How do you measure the crown? A 30 second google search wasn’t very helpful. ---

That doesn’t really help me measure my watch? At its widest, my watch is ~41mm but I don’t think that is right. ---
