Simple Watch Design

[shalcrow]

Hi Guys,

I've been trolling the internet the past week (every night) in an effort to find a good, simple, elegant watch design to purchase as my next watch.
Im currently wearing the Fossil Frank Gehry which is still (after ~3years) still holding its charm -well at least for me anyway.

I am now looking for something simple to wear and I cannot seem to find a watch that I am really sold on. Then I remember reading about a simple watch that i believe the designer is wearing himself? maybe not designer as it was back in 2005. the watch as i remember it was analog, simple watch face like the Easy Reader, dont remember if it had numbers or markers (no romans) had a white watch face, fabric or canvas band, the date at the number 3 position and had a red second hand that i remember was talked up to just touch the inside edge of each minute marker around the circumference of the watch dial.
I've taken a look around as i've mentioned earlier, and cannot find this watch. i thought it may be a mondaine watch but cannot seem to find this prerequisite. then i thought it might be an easy reader, as this style looks remarkably like what i remember. however I cannot find one that has this red second hand.

any help or recommendations for watches that look like a blend between the easy reader/mondaine series would be a great help, not only settle my mind, but also settle on a design that is intricate, elegant and simple in its design.

Looking forward to your advice.

Cheers

Simon

Budget? Strap or bracelet? Stainless steel or precious metal? Automatic or quartz?

G'day

<$500. Strap. I *think* it was stainless steel. Unsure whether auto or quartz, i'd like to think it was auto.

Any others (Mechanical or Automatic) come to mind guys?

This is really difficult to find a watch design to settle with!
I think this (MIH) is what im after, what are your thoughts on this watch? price? etc.

Anyone know of a watch that looks similar to the MIH watch style?
