I like the real chunky watch look....

OP I notice your taste is very expensive in watches....nothing wrong with that
My concern is your age, you posted somewhere that you are 13 so Im going to assume that your parents will be making this purchase for you.

If this is the case,are the comfortable with you wearing such an $$ watch (several thousands by your taste) & are they willing to pay that much at such young age??

I gotta admit even if I had the disposable income to buy a high end watch for my oldest (12yr) I wouldnt do it. There are many factors...and not one would be lack of appreciating,or her not deserving it. But if this is the level of gifts she gets at 12, what do I get her at college graduating? A Bentley??

You might be spending your own money(allowance,Xmas gift,etc..) but as I parent I still have a say in WHAT she spends KWIM? Something that pricey is going to stand out among friends, other kids,etc.. Id hate to draw that much unwanted attention to her, especially in a society that has kids mugging other kids for sneakers & leather jackets.

But then maybe in your circle this is what kids your age wear on their wrists, Im not trying to preach...I guess the "mom" in me just reacts

Like I said nothing wrong with great taste,but take your time

I agree whole heartedly with your post!!

I wholeheartedly agree with this as well. At 13, I don't think you understand the value of a Rolex, or the fact that some of the cheaper ones can buy you a nice car. There is no way I would ever let my thirteen year old kid walk around with a CAR on her wrist.

I think it is okay to ask for a sub $100 watch for your birthday or a holiday. Find one that has a similar style to the Rolex you like. I'm sure there are hundreds out there that have similar styles. Then save up once you get a real job and somewhere down the line when you have the money to actually buy and appreciate it, you should get it.

I can vouch for the Invictas I had been been eyeing a mens size Rolex for myself since my husband has the Yachmaster,and I absolutely love it. I have 2 very nice $$ watches,but being a sahm I couldnt justify that big of a purchase on another watch(especially now).

I had read about Invictas,& I did a bit of research...well I found this on Ebay for less than $60 new, and it has turned out to be my absolutely favorite watch ever.Go figure!!LOL. Its "chunky" has great weight,and looks awesome.

My 12 yr old loves it but it is way to big for her,so I bought her the same style in the small size (25-28mm mine is 35mm almost sure).I feel comfortable with her wearing a less than 75 dollar watch considering her taste fluctuates like the weather, not to mention at her age thats expensive enough.JMHO

I'm really liking this watch! And you can't beat the price.

How about Michael Kors? He makes some great "chunky" watches for reasonable prices.

 

[whoops]

I second Michael kors and fossil for the chunky look. Or even tag?

Also, is this your first watch? I wouldn't blow the big bucks on a first watch off the bat because you don't even know if you like that kind of weight on your wrist.Wearing a watch everyday takes some getting used to. I would get something as a starter for under $500 and then jump up once you know it's the look and feel for you.

Also I hope OP does not take offense to this. If you love it by all means do what you want and get the one you love but there are a lot of other things to consider before such a large purchase.

Can't go wrong with Michael Kors.
