IMO the sweet spot for a decent long-lived watch is $100-200. My Invicta
Titanium chronograph cost me something in that range. It has an ETA quartz
movement and keeps great time

Watch Experts,
I'm considering the purchase of a new watch - I need to get something with a
leather band as my Seiko with metal band has begun to irritate the skin on
my wrist

The old ones (circa 1999) used to have a battery, but it was an odd

I'm considering the purchase of a new watch - I need to get something with a
leather band as my Seiko with metal band has begun to irritate the skin on

If you want an old style automatic that you won't see on anybody else's wrist,
take a look at Perpetual:

Sea-Gull has quite a selection, and the USA distributor sells them cheaper than
you'll find in China.

I've had 2 Citizen Eco Drives over the last decade. I wish they could
build cars like these watches. Other than having to change the date
occasionally, you set it and ferget it. I once left one in a drawer for
over a week, kept perfect time. I am pretty hard on watches too.
