So I had an alert setup for a Timex Chronograph I broke that I got on a deal a while ago, and I just got alerted and saw that quite a few models are at pretty low prices close to the lowest price on CamelCamelCamel. The one I just re-bought is $.05 more expensive than the lowest price ever on Camel. I don't think these are gonna go that much cheaper.
White and Navy Nato Strap $35.04
Alpine and Tan Nato Strap $37.31
Black and Brown Strap Expedition non chronograph $25.94
I would suggest searching Amazon for any of the "Timex Expedition" watches. Nearly all of those will go with your uniform.
I bought this one a couple years ago and it's still going strong. It does it's job, it's affordable, complies with the uniform, and is attractive. I've gotten many compliments on it. I think if mine ever stops working I'll spend the extra couple of bucks and get the chronograph version of it.
Thanks! The individual items were:
Shoes: AE Walnut Strands
Pocket Square: Golden Bronze Royal Silk
3-Piece Suit (bought as separates): Bar III Midnight Blue
Boutonnière: This gold thing from Amazon
Tie: Bigass Paisley from thetiebar, though I can't seem to find it now...
Shirt: Costco Slim Fit Light Blue
Undies (lol): ExOfficio Boxer Briefs and Airism V-neck
Socks: Target Anchor Socks
Belt: Got at a thrift store a long time ago...
Watch: Timex Expedition
I bought everything over the course of a year waiting for sales, so I think in total (including tailoring) all of the above cost me around $500-$600, though a lot of it can be reused on other occasions.
Her dress, meanwhile, cost around $50 + ~$130 in (somewhat dishonest...) tailoring, $20 for the shoes, $45 for the circlet, and $0 in borrowed jewelry. She did all of her own makeup and hair and stuff so those costs were fairly trivial. She also knitted the shawl herself for around $25 worth of yarn from Michaels and around 25 hours in time while we watched tv some evenings.
I really, really like the aesthetics of the black/brown chronograph. I've been thinking about buying one for quite some time. But I don't wear watches that often.

It's a beauty. Is the only difference the strap color?
I was able to get a price adjustment on the Timex Expedition that popped up here about a week ago - I bought it for $39.05 but it's $28.48 with this promo.
Amazon chat was super helpful - refunded me back $10.57 because it was just past 7 days since delivery - YMMV!
I copped this Expedition last week and I couldn't be happier with it. No audible ticking like other timex watches, unique face, decent strap. Definitely worth a buy.
Awesome! Just snagged these reddit favorites:
