The Watch List

Not too many years ago you couldn't even get me to look at a watch. I thought they were for old people and nerds. My mind has very much been changed by the onslaught of interesting watches that can become a statement piece. Watches are classic and timeless - well they are time-full...nevermind, you know what I mean. Anyhow, I now own about 3 watches which is a big improvement from zero, but I am looking to add to my repertoire. I've been seeing beautiful tortoise shell styles, gorgeous multi-tones and awesome edgy statement makers. I've comprised a list of watches I like, well actually, two lists. One of classic styles and one with attention grabbing watches. All of which you can pick up for great prices!

2. Geneva Chronograph Tortoise Band Watch - $19.99 from Amazon.com
