Sorry, I didn't mean to bash. Its just every time there is a watch thread people pull out all these pics of watches I could never imagine anyone wearing. Maybe I just have different taste to most people here.
But if you would like to know what I like, as you asked, I don't like gold. My watch is stainless steel, I have a stainless steel labret piercing, silver chain bracelets and a silver chain necklace. I wear mainly black and I have near black hair, pretty tan skin. I just dont like the look of gold, black and silver look much better to me. My watch is polished stainless steel and a decent size, not a little watch, but not hugely bulky. Something more like the metal ones that were being endorsed by James Bond. Not exactly that but that kind of style. I think Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer all have some nice watches. They are pretty expensive but when I meant people spending a fortune before, I meant like $15K gold/diamond stuff. Mine was only about $200US, I have had it for about 3 years, used to go surfing with it all the time, still looks good. But to me those seem more like a real mans watches. So that is what I like. The more eligent designer style ones seem to be more popular here on GFY but it is all a matter of what you like. By the sounds of it you are only looking for a status symbol, so eligant style will probably get you more respect. That is pretty superficial though. As long as you dress smart, I think having charactor is a good thing.
I think some people think silver or stainless steel is the poor mans gold. My girlfiend wears either silver or white gold, I think white gold is actually more valuable than gold. One of the jewelers I spoke to told me that some of the materials which are mixed with the gold are actually more expensive than the gold itself, which is why white gold is sometimes dearer. I think platinum is one of them. Anyway, wear what you think looks cool, or in your case, what other people think looks cool if you are trying to impress them.
I don't mean to offend.
Best of luck.
