> [@bing](#): > > i will own that strapā€¦ i promiseā€¦ but need something worth putting it on first šŸ™‚ It would probably look cool on a chrono hamilton or something. I think it would look cool on the hamilton I have, but probably the watch isnā€™t worth it. ---

So, looking for a decent watch, nothing too flashy, for teaching. I donā€™t want something big and gaudy also, so what are my options? Preferably brushed finished but I wouldnā€™t be upset if it was all nice and shiny. ---

Iā€™m realy ā€˜mehā€™ on seiko, but EvoMR is probably the most knowledgable here. If I was shopping for in inexpensive watch that wasnā€™t too flashy, I would look at Hamilton, Tissot, and ESQ. ---

How much would it cost to ā€œrefaceā€ a Rolex datejust? I have a gold and silver datejust with a tan/off-white face, that I rarely if ever wear, maybe a different ā€œbackgroundā€ would result in more frequent usage. ---
