Inexpensive stainless watch and pen?

[Masteroffajitas]

I've been writing with the Zebra-701 for about 3 months now and I love it. It's clip is bent though and it's a little scratched up, which I don't mind that much but I've love it and I think I want to move on to something more nicer with better quality.

I've also been in need of watch because I don't keep my phone with me all the time and I'm always looking at the time anywhere. I know, "keep your phone on you." But it runs outta juice and I'm a forgetful person. Anyways, I've been looking for something under $150. Something thin but still has good quality in it. And something that's at least somewhat water resistant. Not Made in China. You guys know your watches so I thought I'd ask here, plus this the only place to place it. Also, I forgot the thread but somebody posted a thread with a watch with same description but it was titanium? It was exactly what I was looking for, but forgot the thread.

Thanks.

I think the Seikos are awesome bang for the buck watches. Check out premierworld on E-bay for about the best prices you'll get, though they have no papers.

The Invicta SS Automatic Diver watches are good bang-for-the-buck if you're looking for something under $150. Seems to meet your requirements. I've had one for that I've worn almost daily for the last year and a half with no problems.

you can get a titanium citizen eco-drive for ~150 if you shop around a little, or a seiko orange or black monster. check out the sales forums at watchuseek.com. sometimes watches are posted in the exchange here, too. you'll get a better deal if you're patient.

Casio MVD-102 Illuminator.

Classic stainless steel dive watch looks, screw-down crown, 200M WR.

Quartz with LEDs at 12 and 6 o'clock for when the lume is not enough, like when you've been in a cave for more than 8hrs. You can't see the LEDs unless you activate them by pushing the button above the crown.

40 bucks at WallyWorld, the perfect match for a Zebra pen.

I picked one up when my Seiko 173 croaked and to tell the truth it keeps better time and if it gets beat to death I won't cry.

Look 'em over before you purchase as the seconds hand on the one I have doesn't index. The only other complaint is that I occasionally activate the LEDs unintentionally.
