Stauer watches
I have been seeing ads for these watches in car magazines for months now. Every time I see these ads I think the watches look quite nice, nothing extreme or crazy looking, just different enough to be noticed. The problem is that I have never seen/held/touched any of them. I can only find one review online. Has anyone heard anything about these? Are they a pile of crap? Are they a great bang for the buck watch?

New name for me???
Hi there,I am looking to by a watch as a present for somebody and was looking for an Invicta great value for the price except the customer service of course. While browsing the internet I came across a brand called glitterati. I have actually never heard of this brand but the looks are stunning in my opinion. Anybody out there with some info on those watches? Quality?There's at least a good chance that the CS is better then Invicta?Thanks!
