I was in that same situation recently...but the stuff I really wanted was all like $1500+
I ended up buying this Guess

Love it so far, only $125 so I don't feel guilty wearing it everyday, and looks more expensive than it is...I've gotten compliments from people wearing Oris, Omega, etc. thinking I'm wearing an $800 watch. FWIW if you're set on getting a premium brand, I recommend Oris, they have some really good looking stuff in $800 range. But for me, If I'm not spending $1000+ I figured I might as well just get something cheap and pocket the extra $600
When I was looking in the 700-1000 range Amazon.com seemed to have a really good selection
