Request Advice on Gift For Best Man...HELP

Greetings. I am getting married in a month's time and I need to get a present for my best man.

Background: He's been my "road dog" since college and have shared many wild a crazy nights in the 13 yrs we've known each other. He's been a major help in preparing for the wedding and was even a sport when I suggested that we get tailored suits instead of going the rented tux route for the big day. Needless to say, between that and taking me to Miami for my bachelor party, i owe him and want to get him something worth remembering. I've been thinking a getting him a watch but ,with all of the expenses associated with the wedding, I'm afraid I can't afford what I would like to get at this time.

Here's where all of you TRF'ers come in. Any ideas on what on what I should get him? Feel free to suggest any makes or models grated that they're below $400US. Also are there any websites that you can point me to that would assist in my search.

P.S. He currently works in radio promotions but is looking to get a new job. I hope to get him something that would be appropriate in a work setting as well as casual. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Possibly a seiko skx007, looks good on rubber, or seiko oyster or jubilee... Very affordable too

Thanks Chris. The seiko skxoo7 is a beautiful timepiece. I wouldn't mind getting one for myself one day.
