Speaking of which, are Victorinox watches considered high quality watches, in terms of movement, durability...etc

Are they like Tags for example?

I think that Victorinox is a great design.

That Casio looks like an Invicta (which probably looks like some other popular watch)..

In my humble opinion I'd put the an auto Victorinox model like this in the same category as Hamilton or Oris. They also make a lot of more affordable Quartz models, I wouldn't really know how to compare then to TAG other than I like this thing better than 99% of the TAGs I've seen recently.

I second the second watch. Very cool for it's price, and they even matched fonts. More than I can say for some watches costing 10+ times as much!

Oooooooo I like that a lot....very sharp looking. The brush case and dark dial makes it look very sporty. I bet it's not ultra expensive so that's a perfect beater watch. Are you going to get it?

Interesting design, it has the rotating bezel crown on the right side while the actual crown and chrono pushers are on the left. Interesting....you don't see that too often.

Good luck on the fitting Boogy12, I hope you like it...it is a nice looking piece and not too hard on the pocket book. I wouldn't really call it a beater, that's what the $25-$50 watch section @ Walmart is for...LOL!
