So? they do the job dont they? Find me any mechanical movement that is as accurate as a quartz watch for more than a year. ---

pfff accuracy… anyways, i attended a store re-opening, by way of an invite through work, and it was an overhaul of a RAFFI Jewellers in the Conestoga mall in Waterloo… They put was i guess is the largest Rolex room in a store like this outside of the major urban centres of Canada. Over $2M in Rolex’s on hand. I even got to shake hands and chat with Victor Royce, President and CEO of Rolex Canada. He had a Platinum President on his wrist, $58k retail in Canada. ---

I figured that was going to start a shitstorm bringing up citizen again. My brother is getting me one for christmas so I am on a budget. From what I have read, they make a decent watch. All I am going to say is if you are going to shoot down the idea of getting one, at least make your point by proving to me why something is better than a citizen. Simply stating your opinion just simply isn’t going to do good for anyone. ---

Simply stating your opinion just simply isn’t going to do good for anyone. what’s the budget? Japanese quartz movements are shitty in general, at least get a swiss made watch with a decent reputation. ESQ,Tissot,Hamilton, etc… ---

$300 +/- My mom said she would kick in if I found one I really like, but I dont want to go too expensive. I like to have a wide variety of decent watches vs. a few really expensive watches, so I dont need to spend any more than that. ---

I have been looking for a new Hamilton. I really like this watch ![http://www.countshop.com/images/HAMILTON_H70615733-3.jpg?8813](http://www.countshop.com/images/HAMILTON_H70615733-3.jpg?8813) > **[Khaki Officer Auto Bracelet h70615133 - Hamilton Khaki wrist watch](https://www.righttime.com/rt/hamilton/h70615133.htm)** > > Right Time International Watch Center proudly presents Khaki Officer Auto Bracelet h70615133 wrist watch from our Hamilton Khaki collection. Buy Hamilton h70615133 from RightTime.com-Get Valid Warranty. And I found it for sub $500 a couple places but they sell it with a metal braclet. Is this company just taking the metal one off and replacing it with this band? Anyone that has tips on how to get this watch with this band for a decent price let me know. ---

yup, got it from my father and his father. I’m glad you asked me that, i have always wondered how people put up with the dial digging into your hand when you bend it upwards. Does that bother any of you? ---
