I've been abusing my Rolex Submariner for about 6 years and wouldn't consider owning anything else now. Prior to that I had a Brietling Emergency but a dive in the pool with one of the set knobs out effectively killed it.

The sub. I had a sub back in the mid 80's and it was a great watch. (till someone liked it more than me.....) Cost was 800 (no date) from a rolex dealer. Same watch now is close to 3K . The green anniversary model is awesome.

If you can find a Submariner for 3k, I need a few.

Thumbs up

Love the watches dont wear em often enough though, daily wear is a fossil 65 bux 4 yrs ago I think. Whenever I'm going somewhere that doesnt involve fishscales and I remember to wear it, its a cartier.

Been diggin the style of some of the technomarines lately I like as simple as possible, I dont like the Blinged out YO MTV RAPS watches.

I think ozzie os's locman is as blinged out as I'd go.

Domination takes full concentration..

I can second that, I have a Rolex air king that I have used and abused since 2002 and it works perfect. For reasons that I will announce within the next month I will be getting a very generous gift soon and I am trying to decide which one I like the most....

You can't beat a rolex for durabilty and class but the cartier is a real piece of art, just not something I want to take fishing... better for a suit and situations when i'm not going to be getting dirty...

I love the yachtmaster but it is just allot of money for a person my age...
