How about something with a blue face and lots of dials?

You won't even have to break a sweat for $242.25. -

logan-duk-dong thank you for the digestion and taking time to reply but the only way I can describe it as too much going on, it is just too busy with all those dials hand hands. Ramsa'ys watch has a lot of dials but it does not seem so overwhelming

Yeah, it's busy. But there's just something about that watch that I like You could go the other direction and stay very basic and clean:

The more I read about Invicta the less I like them. They seem to be all about knockoffs. Find a sought after high end model and make a cheaper version. If you do a little digging on repairs you'll see that a lot of people have problems and servicing is overseas and you need to foot the bill for that shipment. But I don't imagine you would be interested in a cheap knockoff anyway.
The only watches in my price range that I like are sub $200 Citizen and Seiko.
How about a Bulova Precisionist?

Busy, but not so busy. I like the screws around the bezel but I don't know about that watch band It's a bit clunky. Does it seem strange to you that a $750 (list price) watch doesn't come with a sapphire crystal? -

Here's something more in your price range. A Breitling Colt Chronograph II for $3k.

Gotta check that warranty. If you don't buy it from an authorized dealer then you don't get the manufacturers warranty and you have to rely on the seller. Amazon appears to be an authorized dealer for many name brands but you're not always buying from them. -

I am sorry for not responding sooner but I had other things going on and I had too much on my mind to think about the internet or watches.. One of my dogs jumped on my bed and ate the cheese spread I was eating with crackers. I only left the bedroom for a minute to get a soda. I have two dogs and the males got a little bid sick but the female was close dying. Both dogs have stolen my food before because I did not hide it from the dogs when I answered the door or left the room for a minute. I am a grown up old made but I have been crying like a little baby expecting the worst. I have been calling the vet every 2 or 3 since I left her at the vet and I just got off the phone and was told I can bring her home at 6:30 PM tonight.
If anyone has dogs here is a reminder to be careful that they do not get and eat anyone they should not eat. I did not bother asking how much the bill will be and most likely it will be fairly expensive but I would have paid anything to save her life.PS Before my dog got sick I did check these two links did not work when I first checked them and do not work now but it will probably be a few days before I can even think about a new watch

I do like this one and may consider buying it

but I was thinking of a self winding or wind up and maybe a leather strap
A little more than 3 hours from now my little girl dog will be home.

Yikes. I thought it was just chocolate that was the big problem for dogs Well, good luck. Hopefully she pulls through. I know what it's like to have a sick pup.
Those 2 links got messed up when I edited the post. I don't know why, but whenever you edit a post with long URLs a space gets stuck in there and it screws up the works. These should be fine:
If you really wanted to break the bank you could see if Philippe Dufour would make you one. Just $500k and a 1 year wait.

I really don't know that much about watches. If you wanted some better back and forth from people who know what they're talking about then you should check out some of the watch communities out there, like

My little girl passed away Saturday morning. I am a old man that worked as a cop for 20 years and have seen and been through a lot of poop in my life but I have been crying like a baby since Friday. The vet said that the cheese was not the cause and she had cancer the moved to her brain. The little girl was only 5 years old. A few hours before this happened she was running in the yard with my other Boston terrier and 36 hours later she was dead.
The vet asked if I wanted a necropsy but I didn't want to cut her up. I have an appointment with a funeral home to pick out a casket but I am having trouble finding someone that embalms dogs. There is no sense spending over $2,000 on a funeral without enabling. I am not a rich person and $2,000 is a lot of money to to bury her but I would have five or even more than tens times that much to save her but the vet said that this cancer was like a time bomb waiting to happen, Both dogs got into the cheese and the six year old male is fine. I thought that it was that she ate more than he did but that wasn't the reason.
Thank you for you concern about my dog and helping select a watch but I need some time before I can think about watches for a while. -

Sorry to hear that. I'm sure she had 5 good years with you, which is more than some dogs get.
A long time ago my mom stumbled across an older abused dog and she snapped him up quick. I don't like to think about what went on before we took him in. I'm sure it wasn't nice. He may not have had a real good start to life but he definitely had a nice end with us.
Keep yourself busy. Maybe pick up a new pup. -

I have another Boston Terrier that was best friends with her. I can tell he misses her. Tomorrow I have a 120 mile drive Atlanta GA to take her to a place that embalms dogs.
I got the girl dog as a friend for the boy, They were best buds and I can tell he misses her. -

Dogs have such short lives and I treated them both as if it could be their last day. Two or three days before she died I bought them a big steak and cooked it up rare. When she threw up and made a mess of the bed and rug I gave her ac hug instead of getting angry that she made a mess. I can't imagine how much worst I would feel if I hit her for making a mess and throwing up
