Ok I am looking for another daily watch for right now, just a cheap one to keep in the car when I forget my hamilton. I have a big wrist, the hamilton looks normal on my wrist, so I wanna go with a 46 or 50 MM face, but I hate that "baller" look that a lot of watches in that size range try to emulate. What is are the recommendations?

My favorite ones I have are these:
Subaqua Noma III Master Calendar in Goldtone/Black

Corduba Chronograph in white mother of pearl
http://www.shopnbc.com/Invicta_Men_s...ter%20calendar
Here's another brand, it's called 32 degrees. Looks really nice and lots of people think it's worth thousands. I have the two tone.

Oh and from Amazon, I got this bad boy, with real CF dial, looks like a Bell&Ross!

At Costco I picked up this one in black:

You can pick up a decent sized Invicta for a bit over $100 on overstock.

Nice, but i wouldn't deal with jomashop. They've got a real bad rep on the watch forums. They had a good deal on an Omega that i wanted, the site showed it was in stock but it wasn't. I've heard that they have to "source" a lot of the watches they advertise and that some customers have waited months to receive their product.

I like complicated watches. But lately I found that my eyesight has not allowed me to read some of the subdials. But I still have a few very nice expensive Swiss watches.

I also weigh a whopping 145lbs so I've got pretty small wrists. Tried on one of the smallest Breitlings I could find at the last watch place I was at and the face was significantly larger than my wrist.

I don't know if that will fit the cheap criteria he listed.
Nice. I've got one of the F1 Chrono watches as a beater. I got it from watchdisconters.com though as they had it cheaper than shopnbc. It's a very sturdy watch. It's also my largest
Same here. I find that between 36-38mm is ideal. The chrono i talked about above is 42mm but it still looks good.

I have a PO now and I love it.
on the subject of smaller watches. This is no longer made, but it's one of my favorite watches. It's a manual wind 1964 Carrera re-edition.

That's all relative depending on one's disposition, no?
You are right. I did not see that part of his post.
