Question about my watch

[JeeperCane]

I have the watch below. It was bought for me by an ex as a birthday present (I think she actually put it on her parents credit card....no joke:rockon: ). I was flattered and very happy to receive such a generous gift. I take very good care of it and never wear it when it could get damaged.

That said, I know NOTHING about jewelry or watches. I knew Movado was a good name, but really didn't know much beyond that. This is the only piece of nice "jewelry" that I own and I do love it.

However, I have gotten more compliments about this watch from both women and men then I can imagine. I'm not complaining at all and I hope these compliment continue, but I was just wondering what it is about this watch? I'm sure there are many DJ's out there that know far more about watches/jewelry then I do.

Thanks!

Hey Jeepers, I think it is a cool unique watch and that is probably why you get compliments on it. I used to have a square, blocky deisel watch with black background and flourescent hands, used to get comments on it alot.


It's a sweet watch, simple yet elegant. I have a Kenneth Cole that looks kinda similar to yours except for the face, but don't get as many compliments as my other one.

Thanks man. Just to clarify, I'm not fishing for compliments or showing it off, I'm not that type of guy. Before I got it, I was wearing a $20 Cassio that I still have and use when I'm working outside and whatnot. I know it's a nice piece, I just wasn't sure why women liked it soo much.

That and it took me about 2 months to figure out how to tell time on it.

WOW, you didn't know that a Movado is one of the top of the line watches???

That watch you have goes for around at least $500! incase you didnt know

I have a friend who has that one and it is my favorite and I was going to drop some serious cash to get it if he didnt have the same one. It has the hidden strap inside the steel and it just looks amazing.

When and where have the ladies complimented you on it? in class, at work??

Why can't this be discussed in Anything Else?
