So, I bought one of these...
CountyComm - Maratac Pilot Automatic Watch
And attached one of these to it:
22mm Super Engineer II Solid Stainless Steel Watch Band Push Button B 25 Jewles Rotomatic Watch, Automatic , Manual wind Vintage , slim quartz watch Tungchoy:
Nice heft, looks good, keeps excellent time. My oldest daughter is really into watches, and notices them all. She likes mine better than my boss' Rolex. Which is a very nice thing for her to say.
I like it because it's well under $500, has taken to daily wearing very nicely. I would buy another one without any hesitation.
