Best "luxury" watch under $100?

Looking for a fancy watch for special occasions. I've seen invicta watches on amazon but want another opinion before I purchase it.

Anyone know any fancy watches for a fancy dinner or something?

Budget: under $100

If you can double up your budget, you could get into a decent Citizen Eco Drive if you look around.

Just my 2 cents.

Citizen is Japanese. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizen_Holdings) and have a long and prestigious history for almost 100 years now.

Honesty, $100 is not going to get you anything respectable for special occasions. Save up and get yourself something in the range of $300-$600. The most $100 can you is some throwaway children's watch that would make you the laughing stock of your peers if you wear it to a special occasion.

And yes, get a Citizen Eco Drive to start, make sure it has a sapphire crystal face and go from there. Although, for $160 CAD, get something called a Rodina automatic watch from this site: http://good-stuffs.com/Classic-Rodina-a ... p_156.html

It's a homage (re: replica) of a Nomos Tangente (a $2000 and up watch series), built in China but is highly rated amongst collectors and watch enthusiasts alike. The real thing is made in Germany if you ever fancy getting a real one later on in life.

Could you please recommend me one under $200? You seem experience!

There is currently a thread about this. On the thread people are confused about whether it's mineral or sapphire glass
