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?

Amazon.com: Seiko Men's Automatic Dive Watch #SKX175: Seiko: Watches Amazon.com: Seiko Men's Automatic Dive Watch #SKX175: Seiko: Watches

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.
