Default Help me pick my next watch

I want to have my current one cleaned and polished and use it just for going out so I'd like another nice every day watch.

Which one, then?

This is my current. Anyone know of a reputable place I can send the watch to get cleaned and freshened up or should I just send it to Seiko or bring it to a local place?

Why seiko? My fossil is the only watch I've owned for more than a year without breaking it, so it ranks pretty high up there IMO.

Damn I like the last one (one you already have)

I tried the Fossil Twist in gunmetal the other day and it is HUGE! I LOVED the design but it was huge so therefore I didn't get it.

i've gone through about 4 or 5 fossils in my highschool years and the glass fronts always get really scuffed. i have a few i discarded (read: lost because i didnt care) because i could hardly read the time. this one's lasted about 4 years and still looks amazing considering ive worn it pretty much daily.

Me too but, as stated, I want to get it refreshed and put it away for special occasions.
