Now I am on to post #2. As I mentioned in my intro I am looking for an everyday watch and a dive watch and would appreciate any input. I am actually a SCUBA instructor, but work in a different field now so dive mostly for recreation and only occasionally teach.
Right now I think I am going to hold on the dedicated dive watch. I may just get a less expensive, but functional watch, maybe a G-Shock, but don’t know. I’ll figure that one out later.
With respect to the everyday watch, I would like one that works everyday, but could also work for the occasional dress/suit occasion. I am considering a diver and also like Chrono’s. I want a watch with a metal or rubber band, sapphire dial window (this cuts down on scratches right?), a good degree of water resistance (for pool, beach etc) and prefer a Swiss/German movement. I have also set a rather arbitrary (in that I don’t know if it is a realistic cutoff number for watches) price limit of $500 US. Below I will list some watch brands/styles that appeal to me (irrespective of price) to give an idea of what is my style: With respect to divers I like the looks of the Debaufre’s and Boschetts (not sure if I like the Cyclops windows, but maybe that is being too narrow minded) and really like the Accutron VX-200. I also like the looks of watches such as the Doxa, Enzo, and Vixa. I also like the looks of the exhibition case backs, but am not dead set on them.
For Chrono’s I love the look of the Ball Hydrocarbon (again, just to give an idea of the style I like) and Accutron Chrono’s.
I also like the looks of other watches such as the Debaufre tritons, non chrono Balls, Sinn, and Stowa. So basically I am a bit all over the place. Help!
Also, if I do go grey market, are there some better dealers out there to work with? I Imagine there are, perhaps once I decide on a watch and that is the way to go I can get some input on that as well.
Cheers,
David
