I have a pretty nice collection of "high-end" watches. But I never had a black face watch. Anyone own or able to suggest a specific model? I saw some Philip Steins and Tags but I'm unsure. There are lots of coupons, rewards money and Bloomies Friends and Family is 20% off next weekend so it is a good time for a purchase. Please post pics of styles that are great. Thanks!
 
I have the rolex daytona wg model, I like the black face. It feels very young and modern. I think silver metal watches look best with black faces. I like black and white faces on gold watches though!
 
how much are you looking to spend?

reason i am asking is you can get a black dial michele watch or a black face tag heuer
i own both, ill post a picture just for reference

whitepearl86 - I love all your jewelry! Been eyeing that Judith Ripka (?) evil eye bracelet too. I want several things but need zero!
thank you!

the JR bracelet and necklace were recently on sale for 40% off at i believe it was Bloomies! My mom got the same bracelet and necklace now bc she didnt want to keep borrowing from me lol

keep an eye out, they go on sale sometimes!
 
I love Nvie's omega aquaterra w/ diamond markers on the darker face. I don't think it's quite black but it's a nice dark grey? I love it and it's very versatile. However, if u want more dressy and have the budget then a yg rolex and black face is lovely

For the sake of my wallet, I'm going to pretend u didn't mention the bloomingdales f&f event

Thanks whoops! It's dark gray. I think dark coloured dials be it gray, blue or black looks really good with diamond markers.
 
I just received the Montblanc 44mm DLC coated with sueded Alligator strap as a bday pressie, and I couldn't be happier with it. It's stainless steel, automatic, chronograph, 200m water resistant, etc... We also purchased a rubber strap for it so it could be used as a "dive" watch and not ruin the strap. It's a men's watch, so larger face, but I figure if I get bored of the black on black watch, I can give it to SO.

Not sure of price range for your fun watch, but I'd give it a look if you're near a boutique.

I've always been a sucker for the classic Movado museum watch. I love that all black face and you can get one with a diamond instead of a gold or silver dot or one of the new sporty Movado Bolds. They're also relatively inexpensive and I've always been happy with the quality.
