Help please! point me in the right direction.....

Hello everyone,

I finally have a reason to get a time piece other than my G shocks. I've got to wear some suits and I need a nice dress watch. I'm having a hard time finding the right one. Most of the watches I look at are a little too big for my wrist.
I'm looking for a piece with a 36-40mm case. Analog, black leather band on black face. Simple and smooth, good for a black or grey suit. My questions are:

1. Is there a resource to search for watches by some of these features besides amazon?

2. Could you guys recommend some manufacturers or models I could research. (I probably need this the most)

Thanks for the help, I can't wait for the search.

Oh yeah, budget is kind of restricting. <$500.00

Tissot, if you're ok with quartz, and Orient, if you're ok with Japanese automatics.

If you can stretch your budget by $75, I can't recommend this enough. The Frederique Constant FC-303. I bought one for my partner for Christmas and he absolutely loves the watch.

You can pick one up from Amazon Watches for $575. Frederique Constant Men's FC-303MC3P6 Classics Automatic Stainless-Steel Watch: Watches: Amazon.com

That FC 303 is a beautiful and great quality watch.

Yes that FC 303 is a great looking piece. Here's a couple I've found so far. I like both however I'm leaning toward a less is more approach. Opinions?

Also, I've never heard of Teno. Are they any good?

Hers the Teno

Victorinox will have a mechanical in your price range.

Seiko Sarb 065 'Cocktail Time' can be had right around $500.

If less is more, I'm not sure the CW Chrono fits that bill...........I don't know much about Teno, but I'm sure someone else who does will pipe in. I recommend the FC because we have two in our household and they're just great watches at great prices.
