The only thing is I don't think you will find Michelle watches under $300 though they are really nice.
-1As I just posted there.. After 35% off you can get Michele's for 250-270$ rangeAnd very nice ones IMO

List price 395$-35% = around 260 (plus a little for shipping.. Cost me 270 total I think) Very nice weekday watch IMO (and many others who complimented my wife..)
For weekday, dont wanna spend more than ~$300 but less is better I don't know anything about what's currently in style or where shop...
