I just picked up an Orient with 3 stars on the dial( saturday) It is a midsize watch and very classy with a black face in ss.Also day and date at 3.I agree that a seiko 5 om a steel bracelet might be right up your alley.I have two Seiko 5's but i am not into metal bracelets  for the most part. I have the military model and the sport model.

In the $250 range (they may be slightly more now - street price) there is only one watch to buy.  Casual enough for jeans and dressy enough for the office...the Swiss Made Tissot PRS516 Automatic.  It comes in Blue, black and white dials with an excellent SS bracelet...ETA2824-2 movement, of course.  In the world of Swiss Made automatics, I believe that this watch is the biggest bang for the buck you can get!!!hand6.gif

Because...I am brilliant and you know after all these years, it is the watch I always recommend for a Swiss Automatic in this price range!
