I want a WHITE watch

Anyone know of a good (cheap) white watch (case and band) maybe ceramic I can find? I have a white gold daytona and a milgauss, so it needs to be a FUN watch. I like the Chanel mens watch but it's WAY to $$$ for what I'm looking for. THANKS!

They do not. I want something a little better than a Swatch. say a 200-500. watch. I do love Swatch, from back in the 80's to now since they were the ones that got the idea to build a car. I have a 2002 Passion cabriolet(got off e bay) AND have a 2008 ordered!

I have a thing for Swiss Army and Glycine. Both make very nice white dial watches. Might cost just a tad over yr. limit, but you'll have a real watch. (not plastic crp....) Larry.

here's one, although the CCCP on it gives me the willies (seriously, no one would ever think to put a swastika on a commercial watch, but CCCP is ok?)

Costs about $180 from shopnbc.

Take a look at the Seiko SKX781 "White Knight"

There are other white dial Seiko models in your price range. Good Luck

Nuts. I blame it on my poor elementary education in those darned government schools not teaching me proper reading comprehension.

I think the combination of white, white, white and $500 gives you the "fashion" design midsize watches.

A good watch is not to be found among them.

I would also recommend one of the higher end swatch watches. They come in all sorts of funky colours.

ttommy aka redneck - My reading comprehension has been sliding lately, soon it will just be the Sunday comics...

I agree that an all-white watch in that range will be hard to find. I've often admired the white Chanel also. Happy hunting. Cheers, Larry.

OK forum readers, to wrap this search up, go to say ,a Chanel link and PLEASE look at the J12 in WHITE. Then you will see what I am after. Does not have to be exactly like this, but I want you to see the combination I am searching for. Is it a deal? Now the J12 comes in BLACK as well as WHITE, but I think it is apparent that I am looking for a WHITE WATCH!

Good call, Warren.

My wife has just seen this one on screen and wants me to price one up for her.

Try Toy Watch, a bit "trendy" but certainly a decent watch (my wife has one and likes it) and in the range.

if white is technically the absence of color, how about white dial, clear case, white/clear strap/bracelet?

http://www.toywatchusa.com/product/5...tch-Collection

http://www.toywatchusa.com/product/7...tch-Collection

http://www.toywatchusa.com/product/3...tch-Collection

Otherwise, these meet the criteria to a "t":

http://www.toywatchusa.com/product/8...tch-Collection

Michael Jordan and other celebs apparently are willing to lend their name to the company, but I think it looks best on a lady's wrist:
