I know nothing about watches, what dictates the price on these? Spending 15,000+ for a watch I just can't comprehend... Quality of parts? Craftsmanship?

In regards to quality though, how can the price point be that high with such a minimal need for parts?

The mechanics on the inside of the watch and the "name" are what you are paying for usually.

I know a guy who owns a jewelry store, and I have seen some of the custom watches he has made. He has used platinum and crap like that for the mechanics on the inside. Doesn't make much sense to me, but it is what it is.

Hey Ringo, now that I hear it's for a younger type, I say the Invicta with your price range bro....They have some baller looking ones that aren't all super expensive.

I'm with ya Brother all the way on the Invicta... on SOME like you said... fantastic watch, well made, great movement for the money...

Thanks for all the input. Men's watch. The pocket watch suggestion was nice for me. But for someone Much younger. Thanks again for info

I am a big fan of Invicta watches (mens and womens).

I think you can get a nice Fossil watch for 50-80 bucks. Their styles are really cool too, especially if your buying for a younger more hip person like myself.

I'm kind of partial to Tissot watches... Swiss made and you can find them starting around 400.00

I bet Tri Coach would get one made for you. He is a baller.

You can get a decent movado on jomashop.com . I picked up a leather band black museum face for $175 and a stainless Steel museum face for $275. I just like how the movados look. Really nice Swiss peace.

Look into orient. Orient makos are very nice watches for around 100. The Orient Ray is another solid option.

Orient, or Seiko 5 series or any of the automatic divers. Steer clear of invicta and fossil, your budget is such that you can buy something of decent quality and not cheap chinese quartz watches.

a $15000+ price point watch will be made of a precious metal rather than steel, as well as having a handmade IN HOUSE movement of several hundred hand finished moving parts. No mass production, limited number of peices made per year, and generally additional complications (anything, like day/date/chrono/perpetual calendar/moonphase)
