Please let me know what men would prefer!

First one is a Vacheron Constantin skeleton

Second is a Breguet Classque Chronograph

Third is Breguet Tourbillion

Nothing with a leather strap...?

Maybe that's just me, though. I won an Esquire with a leather strap at a tournament last year. Just can't bring myself to wear it.

um...they all have leather strap

I agree with my man from out west on the leather strap thing. But the face on number 2 is the nicest is that's any consolation.

Totallly off topic, but I noticed Phil wears a watch when he plays with a leather strap. You don't see a lot of guys wearing watches playing golf. I usually do (except with a manly SS strap)

Would be more inclined to wear the second one more of the time, but I would wear the third one for special events.

Yep,

Second Watch would be my preferred.

Not meaning to make the decision tougher, but I prefer the first one by far. I'm not really sure I care for the other two. While I personally do not care for Leather straps, I think with a watch of this nature, anything but leather would take away from the style of the watch.

I prefer the 2nd. But what do I know? I wear $15 disposables.

Yeah, I have a pretty nice Citizen World Timer ECO-Drive that I got years ago that is valued at around $600 and a $50-60 Casio G-Shock from Wal-mart that is pretty much indestructable. It is usually about 50~50 on which one I wear. The last G-Shock I had owned was my only watch and lasted close to 15 years before I replaced it. I replaced it when the battery finally went dead for the first time, and made the mistake of replacing it myself. I certainly am leary to wear the nicer one to alot of places as I am usually really rough on the crystals. The 15 year old G-Shock never had a scratch.

My question is...why are you giving a watch to your best friend's hubby...?

Hmm.
