5 Dress/Business-Casual Watches for Under $1k 2014
A couple of years ago, we did a guide for dress watches under $1k. Looking at it now, I feel it's time to do another one, with some different options. The watches mentioned there are still valid, but we've seen plenty of watches since then that make the cut too. That said, true dress watches are not really that common, nor really that needed. Rather, watches that are good for work and the occasional formal setting, but could probably be worn whenever and wherever, made the list. So, if you're looking for an alternative to you divers, pilots and tool watches, here are a few good options.Orient Bambino $182?We just reviewed this one last week; between the price and the style it's a sure fire winner. Rose gold markers, pearlescent dial, and an insane domed crystal come together for a design that feels vintage, but doesn't look derivative.

Introducing: The IWC Pilots Watch Timezoner Chronograph (Full Specs & Pricing)
This one isn't small, simple, or elegant like the 36 mm Pilots Watch or the new Mark XVIII from IWC this year, but it features a very cool complication. For the first time, one may now set the time zone on a multi-time zone wristwatch quickly, just by pressing and turning the bezel of this new Timezoner Chronograph.

50th birthday Incoming
Ok well its still 3 weeks to my birthday ....but i picked up this 5146 R earlier tonight from the AD and thought i would share. Its going in the safe later until my birthday (my wife insists ). Love the fact that its a full moon on the day i picked it up. I was also considering the 5205 and 5396 but I think i made the right choice for me.

Yet another BLNR on a 97200 bracelet pic.
I know there are 1,000,000 of them, but now there's 1,000,001. I just couldn't get used to the polished center links of the OEM like I thought I would so I found a Sub Glidelock bracelet and snatched it up (wanted to keep my SubC bracelet on my SubC solely). I like this look exponentially more.
