I am looking for a present for my to-be father-in-law. He is pretty traditional, all his watches are roman numeral faces (he prefers thin as well). My budget is around 1k, which is less than what he usually wears (he just bought an IWC Portofino, and frequently wears a two tone Omega De Ville...

Hello all. I would like to send two new/unworn watches to my brother-in-law and his partner. I live in the US and they live in Canada. The watches are gifts. I purchased them from an AD (incl. local taxes) in the US 12 months ago (we were hoping to give the watches to them in person but life...

Hi! I have a nephew on the way. I want to buy him a watch the day he's born, and then give him that watch on his 18th birthday. So basically, I'm looking for a decent watch that I can put in my safe brand new, and in 18 years it will still work as if it were brand new. Any suggestions? I know...

I promised a post (years ago) when I finally finished my degree and picked out a watch. I defended a PhD in biology a month ago in the fisheries science realm. Right after, my dad and I went and had some beers and walked to the local jeweler with full intent of buying an aquaracer. Maybe it...

Hey guys! My younger brother is turning 18 this August, and so will, as is tradition, get a watch. And as the watch-dude of the family, my parents were nice enough to include me in this decision (I'm rather psyched to help in this process, especially as I can sit researching watches I can't...

I've got about two months left until my wedding day and I've settled on getting my groomsmen watches as a gift. The reason it took me so long to decide on getting watches is because none of them are really watch guys. One of them is fairly attached to his Apple smart watch and the other three...

So I was looking at a Citizen's World Timer for my wife, Model FC0000-59D. She really likes the watch, but withher small wrists (around 6 1/4) or so, it seems to be a bit large on her. does anybody have any ideas on a watch in this price range (3-400) that is around 36mm Radio Sync Solar...

Dear everybody, I am looking for the perfect watch to give to my husband to celebrate the birth of our first child. He is a watch-enthousiast but hasn't really started a collection yet. He always mentions the Breitling Navitimer when we discuss watches. I have done some "research" on my own and...

My wife has been wanting a Cartier Large Tank Solo and I thought the basic model (no added bling) would be a nice 50th birthday gift (2/15). I started researching and realized how little I know about watches. I feel like I'm in over my head, can you help with a few basic questions: 1-Can you...

All I know is that it's the Orient Heartbreaker, and I can't find it anywhere! But I would love to get it for my mom as a retirement gift... Agh!

When I purchased my SOH from the Breitling boutique I was give a bag of goodies including baseball hat,wallet , lapel pin and bar of chocolate . From Wempe when I bought my Tudor I was given a 3rd strap. Then this arrived by Fedex today .. It spins rather well on its base , a toy for my desk...

I thought a few of you might appreciate my experiences trying to find a new watch for my girlfriend to surprise her for her birthday. Being a WIS we are often given the task (or volunteer!) to find watches suitable for other people. This all started when my girlfriend decided she wanted...

My father is retiring soon and we need to get him a nice dress watch. He currently "obsesses" over the Baume and Mercier Clifton 10052. I have to admit, this may be my next luxury purchase when I can swing it. This is well above our budget, especially now that I have to replace the engine and...

It's that time of year again. Time for WIS men to ask, "I'd like to buy a watch that pleases me, as a gift for my girlfriend/wife." Here's some advice from a lady WIS. Size: She may not consider it now, particularly if she doesn't wear watches regularly or has never worn a large watch, but...

Hi Guys, I'm buying my father a pre-owned (95 %) Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date reference 11520. I thought it's a good company in his retirement days. I was worried about the pink dial color, is it too girly or it's fine? What do you guys think? On Rolex official web here the pink color is...

I'm looking for a couple of watches for my brothers who are my best men in my wedding. Looking to spend about $350 or less. I'm really open to styles / brands, and am finding as I research I really have a lot to learn about watches. I was originally thinking Bulova, Citizen or Seiko, but found...

So I am getting married March 16th and am still in need of finding a gift for my groom. I know, bad bride :-( I would like to get him something he wants but wouldn't buy for himself, and in my ideal fantasy version, could possibly pass on to a child. I know he would like to have a watch...
