Two beers and a shot at the Thompson Hotel. A cheeseburger made with Kobe beef. Five tickets to see Next Day Air. *Holds envelope to head like Johnny Carson. Ah, yes: “What are stupid ways to blow $55?”
On the flip side is today’s Buy It Now, the Time Teller P watch from Nixon. For five Hamiltons and a Lincoln, you get a watch with three-hand Japanese quartz and a triple-gasket crown band. There are 13 different colorways for this puppy, so you can even cop a few and switch up as necessary. Money well spent. For Buy It Now info and detail pics, see below…

Although they’ve always had classic appeal, gold watches are all the rage this season. The only downfall to going for the gold is that selection can get both tricky and expensive. Luckily, we sifted through all the half-assed timepieces to bring you some quality wrist-wear.
If you’ve got money to blow, a good top-tier brand is Welder, a European company that was created by U-Boat designer Italo Fontana. Crafted in Italy, the K24 Data Gold Tone model (pictured) measures 48mm and retails for $1030 at Barney’s flagship stores. But if you need something a little more affordable, read on for some bangers under $600 that will keep your style-rep intact…

When new brands want to make some noise, they all seem to roll out the typical celebrity-curated collaborations. But this one-way ticket to cool is nothing new to watch company Nixon, who has been dropping co-branded pieces with folks like Tony Hawk and Jennifer Lopez for five years strong.
Under the banner of the LTD Collection, Nixon fuses unique materials from celebrity belongings into the watch’s band. The base for this year’s design is Nixon’s signature model, the Rotolog. It’s unique panel-style band will serve as the canvas for colorful designs by Jack Black, Danny Way, Motley Crue’s Nikki Sixx, Joy Bryant, Ringo Starr and more. Get ready to drop $350-$3,500 this August at stores like Colette and Barney’s, with all profits going towards charity. See more of the LTD Collection below.
