Liam S. replied to Chris Hamm's discussion Who Wears a Watch Anymore?
"Well "stylish" can mean many things. Personally, for around $100, I would look at the Seiko 5 series. These are very solid automatic movements (no batteries, but no winding either - if you wear them). They are built well, and there is a…"
