Do you know about watches? What other brands should I check out? $200 is too rich for my blood. I'd say $150 is my absolute cap. Your Seiko suggestion now has me falling in love with that $60 one I posted above.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
I feel like I have travelled back to the 70s with this discussion on watches.

Good call. The last Citizen I had, which I said was the nicest watch I've ever owned, was similar to this just the 2005 version:
About the same price too.
This guy has a snooty accent, uses words like "dapper" and is wearing gloves so he must know what he's talking about. 
He seems to like this cheap Seiko and is further convincing me to buy it.
But really most of the reviews I see have been positive. It's less than $20 more then the cheapo Casio I liked and while I think the temp sensor is neat, it is a gimmick and not something I would ever actually need.
Funny if I buy this thing Scotch will have talked me out of buying a bottom shelf watch and into an entry level quality brand just like how Meme talked me out of buying a bottom shelf bike and into an entry level quality one a year ago. It worked out well with the bike so hopefully it will with this too.
That's a good looking watch. I like the contrast of the black with the tan band.

At least back to 2011.
I just got myself one of these.
It's a MVMT Chrono.
They are inexpensive, but have a nice clean minimal design. This one was about $130.00.

You know I'm a watch guy. I posted a pic of my collection once, and got a lot of stupid comments.
The Seiko you're looking at is nice. It's an automatic watch, which means it has a self-winding mechanical movement. No battery, no quartz crystal, no micro-chip. It's got a main-spring, a pendulum, rotor, and gears.
I think it's neat that you can get a mechanical watch for that price. In my mind, it makes it more interesting than the ubiquitous Fossil or Diesel from Target.
Another brand I'd look at is Orient. They make their own movements.
It's a shame and I do like the WWE, but this has to do in the Wolf's Den? more like misc. news and plus the Wolf's Den is my house.
I'm a fan of all professional wrestling as well, and I think @kingchuck69 is too.

That cool, there a few fans of the WWE here. I still prefer the old days of the WWE.
We don't see him here much anymore, but I believe Andrew is also a WWE fan. I see him post some WWE stuff on twitter.
If anybody is interested on Jan 21st, Monday Night Raw will turn 25 years old and some of the old classic wrestlers will make special guest appearances.

I haven't updated what is going on in my life for a while, right now a lot of crap has been going down with me. Back in August, I posted that my temporary job was looking to hire me. Well, 60 - 90 days past and I asked my boss and she said there were some delays and they want to wait a bit longer. Well, another month past and apparently they didn't want to bring me on board. They appreciate all my work, which I was able to catch them up and they decided to end my contract. Especially right around the happiest time of the year for people Christmas. Well, that was the shittest Xmas present, I have ever received.
On top of that 2017 was one of the worst years in my entire life next to 2014. That year, I had to put my dog down, I lost my dream job, my ex-girlfriend decided to break up with me and my vehicle had to get repossessed because I was out of work for nearly a year. Fast forwarding things got a bit better until 2017 was another bad year for me. I had to quit my job, because of my former f'ing ass boss. Had a couple of temporary jobs here and there, until I almost became permanent again like explained above.
What made it worst, I was going through chapter 13 bankruptcy. But having no income coming in, I had to terminate that and all my creditors started harassing me again. But when I was able to work, I paid off a couple of bills but it wasn't enough. When was I traveling to work, I received a couple of traffic violations for speeding and other crap. Then somehow I received couple more tickets for speeding which I was barely going over. I was like a cop magnet to pigs for a while. But thanks to unemployment money and a couple of temporary jobs, all my traffic violations are finally paid off. I also had to attend a traffic survival school, because I received too many points on my driving record which cost extra money. That is why 2017 was a very shitty year for me!
Now 2018 has finally arrived, still working a couple of temporary jobs here and there. I'm able to file bankruptcy again. But this time it's a chapter 7, which will finally get all of my past creditors off my back. Especially this one law firm that has a judgment against me, because my old car got repossessed and they want me to back off that vehicle. I know the law and rules, but technically I shouldn't have to pay it back since I don't own that vehicle anymore. But all they want to do is garnish part of my paychecks and now threating to go into my checking account. Well the joke on them, I collect unemployment money which they can't touch and I closed my checking account. So now my money is secured for now, until I get my chapter 7 paid off and filed possibly in another month or two. But I will have to surrender my current vehicle because I can't keep up the payments and get myself a cheap car whenever I have the money.
The past couple of weeks, I went on couple interviews. I usually try my best and sell myself to them. This one company I interview for wants to build a CAD team and they were very impressed with me. I took there CAD test and passed and offered me the position. Now I start this Monday with the type of work I really wanted to do, plus I went to school for. So that what going on with my life for the past year.
Hope you guys understand and that is why I am pushing the music madness because this is the last free week I have to get all the main crap out of the way.

I'll explain my situation somewhere on the forum one time. Besides being gay, I'm also bisexual. I do like some women, but I mainly prefer men.
