Two Spring Options + The Watch That Goes With Everything
Navy above green above a gentle pink. Pair with a nice worn in briefcase and a classic watch.
Burberry trench: $40 (Chelsea Flea Market), JCrew Sweater, JCrew Washed Cotton Shirt, Coach Briefcase, Seiko 5 Watch
Khaki and black is one of the best combinations. I like to keep the khaki a light stone color to really make the black pieces pop.
Overstock Khaki Suit ($80), Coach briefcase, Seiko 5 watch
And finally, I found the one watch I needed. It is a classic navy blue face with crocodile wristband. Automatic movement so I will never need a battery. Found it on e-bay for $45.00. This watch color combination goes with everything.
Seiko 5 Automatic ($45)

Thanks for the tip about looking on ebay for a watch. I never thought of that one. Any search tips?
For searching watches on e-bay I always looks for mechanical or automatic watches (I wear my Seiko 5 everyday now and it keeps great time without needing a battery) Great photos of the watch is very important. Never buy a watch where they don’t show you the inside and its complications if you are buying mechanical. Quartz you don’t really need to see the inside as much. I look for SWISS or JAPANESE movements when going mechanical. The look of the watch is very important, too. I usualy go for the classic looks rather than trendy.
Also, I hear INVICTA watches are very good. I have not owned one, but OVERSTOCK carries many of this brands watches for reasonable prices.
All the best,

Excellent advise Dennis. I never thought to consult ebay. I have an Oris watch that was given to me that I wear sometimes but for the most part go watchless. I will definitely consult with both ebay and overstock. Thanks again.
Glad I could be of service. I personally love watches. They are the one piece of jewelry any man can where. I tend to keep mine mid sized (38mm max) so they remain tasteful.
Best of luck on your searches!
