Rolex Cellini Prince

I'm tired of seeing men sport the Submariner every day. To work, on casual occasions, for formal occasions, the Submariner is just far too common of a sight. While some men might have the green, orange, blue, or black timer banded one, it still is a Submariner, and that design has been imitated by a great deal of manufacturers so if you want a Submariner but not to drop the money on it, stick with the cheaper alternatives that look virtually the same.

The Rolex Cellini Prince is a whole new breed however, judging from its looks, it demands respect. It is very formal yet can easily be casual however the first look at this watch in person, and you're sure to be in awe. It boasts a beautiful leather band that contrasts nicely with the piece itself. I prefer the white colored scheme, however some men opt for the lighter brown leather with the gold piece. I've never been a fan of Yellow Gold and probably never will because it can't be worn casually without looking out of place with your outfit, and if you wear a tan or gray suit, it still looks out of place. White Gold, Platinum, any light metal can go with anything and if I'm going to drop enough cash on a Rolex, you'll be sure I want it to be as versatile as possible.

Overall, the Cellini Prince is a very nice watch incredibly admired by me, and will be admired by anyone whom you show it off to. It does come at a premium Rolex price but its sure to last you generations and when you pass it down to your son, he'll be glad it has a timeless design that he won't look out of place with on his wrist.

Timex Dress Watch with Leather Strap

The Timex brand of watches is very controversial amongst men who claim to be aficionados of watches.Timex has essentially been around since 1854 and was the leading manufacturer of watches for soldiers during WWI. Timex has the experience and technology to make very sturdy, reliable, and accurate timepieces yet they sell them for budget minded prices.

For dressier situations like suit and tie events, you would always want to go for a slim watch but the diameter doesn't need to be slim, in fact trends are going to larger watches in order to show a bit of flare from your cuff yet most of us don't have money to spend to purchase a large assortment of watches for different occasions which is why I admire this Timex watch so much.

It is slim watch that has an amazing color scheme. The Pewter face contrasts very well with the dark brown leather so as not to draw so much attention, this makes it perfect for dressy occasions, yet won't look too odd if you're just wearing a T-shirt because the leather's grain also works with casual attire plus it features the trademark Indiglo system so you can actually see tell the time with ease at night, however most people these days would just check their cell phones.

"Keep on dancing, having fun, and everything else that makes you who you are with a Timex dress watch. There is a time and a Timex for everything."

Be sure to check out the J.Crew Exclusive Timex Military watch with the Nylon strap that sells for $150. It is nice, however I prefer the versatility with a leather band.
