Overall, it's got to be the Omega Speedmaster Professional. It looks understated and classy, is comfortable to wear, very reliable, and just has so much history behind it. It's affordable enough that you don't have to steal from the kids' college fund, and respectable enough that even the snobbiest of watch snobs would not mind being spotted wearing one. Omega also has an automatic co-axial version that's highly interesting from a technical...

I would really like to have a Seiko 5 or Timex indiglo in a full titanium case. Just some sort of field watch with day/date and some tritium or bright glow wrapped in a full titanium case. Anybody else?

Some people are "automatic" snobs.....myself included....somewhat. I do own a couple quartz watches (but 11 autos). That being said I jumped on this deal!! (P.S. I also have a 6.5" wrist but this watch wears small for it's massive specs.

Depends on why you want an automatic. I personally like automatics (and some hybrids) due to the smooth sweep of the seconds hand and the fact that you don't have to replace a battery. This watch has a sweeping seconds hand as smooth or smoother than basically any automatic you'll find under $10k. (Barring some nice Seiko hybrids)

Quartz watches (and some hybrids) have much better accuracy than automatics, and that accuracy is constant for the...

This is not really a true diver watch, it is a diver styled watch, 100m is good for swimming and perhaps snorkel, but anything more and you need a real diver watch rated at least 200m or more and has clearly marked on the face DIVER.
This new drop is closer to being a divers watch, at 200m but still is not a certified diver watch.

Could always look into the Ladies Seiko 5 line as well.  My wife has a SYMC21 that she fancies quite a bit. It's a 24mm auto day/date with mineral crystal. She's had it for almost 5 years, solid little watch, it's been hiking, snorkeling, and shallow water dives, hasn't missed a beat. She doesn't wear watches or bracelets daily exactly, but when she goes for a watch it seems to usually be the 5 (And she has an eclectic little collection)

Watch Check: Seiko Turtle Blue Lagoon SRPB11

This arrived in the mail a couple of weeks ago and I'm loving it. I was all set to buy a Seiko SKX009 Pepsi Bezel but ended up opting for this limited edition Seiko Turtle (6,000 pieces produced). The colour of the dial and bezel is quite dazzling

I'd hate to be the bearer of bad news but every brand out there (exception to in house $$$ watches like Patek, AP, Rolex, GS, other "in house" movements) is built in china. China makes what? 98% of all watch parts in the world? 'Swiss Made' doesnt mean anything anymore. My Citizen eco drive counts better time and has better fit and finish than my 'Swiss Made' Victorinox.

Enough snooping around on this site and you can find several links that...

A Massdrop wish list

The Grand Seiko recreation of the first in 1960. The classic look of this timepiece it's just "it". I will love to see a massdrop of this Grand Seiko dress watch. Do you?

Testing is done in a quiet water tank with pressure being gradually increased to 100m. No water rushing around the watch like there would be when scuba diving. This watch is designed for swimming, some light snorkeling, and a shower. 30m-50m is designed for wearing in the rain, and not a monsoon either. For diving, 200m is where it's at.
