Tissot PRC 200 Automatic - Men

Got mine for like $800 though...
I really like this one. I will likely buy it from jomashop as they list it for $600.

I copped this TISSOT last year from them. Excellent watch!

Currently rocking this

But was thinking about upgrading to this

I wanted something classic, but not too gaudy like some of these gold watches out here. Something subtle that said "Jay Z/Nas in '96" or something that reflected that style.

I need suggestions:francis:

Think I'm gonna change the bracelet to a strap with a deployant.:ohlawd:

Ayo, update..... went and picked up a Halios leather strap with a Defaubre buckle. No deployment just yet. Eyeing a Chromexal black leather.

Ayo, to all the newbies to the watch world, if you have the Evine channel (similar to QVC), you will see what NOT to purchase.

Invicta Watch segment!:mjlol:

Not all Invicta are pure shyt, but these are!

Can't go wrong with an Eco-Drive. I have bought and sold quite a few. All with no issues.

Your budget is in the $200 range?

When you say that you break watches, what do you mean? You are tough on 'em?

200 is my range, nothing over 300.

Yeah, I'm pretty tough on them. My work watches barley last more than 1 year, they just stop working.

Gotcha. You want to buy new? Used may be a viable option for you considering how tough you are on watches and it may be cheaper than your max budget.

Yeah, I want to buy new. I never thought about buying a used watch; you know any legit websites, ebay an option?

Yeah, i believe used may work well for ya. With the exception of 1 of my watches (which I'm trying to sell and:whoa:that is not a shameless plug:lolbron:), all of my other watches are used. Obviously, research on the item and seller are required but, if done right, can prove beneficial.

I'd recommend watchuseek and timezone. Many options.

Haven't purchased from ebay. The 2 aforementioned sites have more of a community feel where there is a plethora of coinciding message boards where reviews, advice, etc. are posted.
