I have been researching watches for the past month or so. Decided I needed a legit watch. Most of the watches I had to date have been crap ("designer" brands like Kenneth Cole, or your budget "trendy" Fossil, etc). Looking at either Omega, Tag, or possibly a used Panerai with docs. Hmmm.... maybe I'll REALLY step it up and get a new Panerai. Obviously my budet is all over the place here! I want something that will last for years and maintain it's value. Any other suggestions? Also, I have a general question on Movado- I was looking at Movado recently, specifically the 800 series. After checking various watch forums and reading up on people's opinions on Movado, the general opinion from various watch 'experts' tend to look down on this brand. Why is this? I always thought it was a good brand, or at least it has commercial recognition. Thoughts?
