I know nothing about watches. Nothing. I have an Apple Watch but am interested in picking up something that I can wear in professional settings. I work in tech sales. Rolex’s are common in my industry but they scream douchebag to me. I want something that is well made and that will last. I don’t know watch brands but I’m hoping for something that is nice, will compliment a tailored suit or a blazer OR a black tshirt. And I want a brand that doesn’t scream that I’m trying too hard. TIA.

      My Bambino 2 is one of my favorite watches. I’ve also got a Nissan. It’s been the second least favorite of all the vehicles I have had. I’ve been thinking about getting another Orient. Talk me out of it.

        I’ve owned one Orient. About 12 years ago, as I was first starting to get into watches, the WUS forums were full of praise for Orient. I happened to find a nice little dress watch—I forget which model, it was maybe 37mm—for less than $70 online. I made the purchase and was very happy with it for about a year and a half. At that point, the rotor stopped winding the spring, turning my automatic watch into just a mechanical watch. I made due. I enjoyed the watch, had purchased a few straps for it, and wanted to keep wearing it. Then, one day, one of the hands just fell off. Servicing was going to cost more than the watch itself, so I opted not to try to revive it. Maybe I just got a bad one, but I won’t buy another Orient because of that experience.

      Hah! Thinking Subarus are better made cars is hilarious. Subarus are the invictas. Cheap fall apart and loved by the oblivious

      My Neptune would disagree with you.

      My Orient pilot watch would appreciate it if you didn’t mention the new dents on its front bumper. /r/NissanDrivers
