You have THREE choices.
Discussion
Your 3 watches for every eventuality, regardless of cost.
Mine:
Rolex Sub
The everyday, work, formal engagement watch.
Seiko Tuna
The big diver. The nice chunk of metal that can take whatever knocks you throw in its direction.
Panerai PAM 104
The handsome bit of bling for meals out, the pub, general socialising.
Over to you.

choiceIf you really held me to three choices... *goes away for 5 hours*
1) IWC Portofino - basic, entry level version, subtle smart choice
2) Traser P6500 Navigator - interesting night out option
3) Ballistic Sabre - everything else (all sports endeavours; although I have yet to test mine "in the field" so the marketing may well be lies... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm2DAumuyFU...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raIJwSMPAAM...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfasnmwTzhI... I'll let you know!)

Bet it can't. I mean, even the amazing SKX007 and Seiko Monster can't be guaranteed to deal with the Royal Mail postal system according to a recent thread. Anyway, throw it against a brick wall and let me know how you get on. Still working? Or might it now need a "service" (aka fixing). The big diver.

I should rephrase. Edited by RemainAllHoof on Friday 25th February 13:11
It will take any knocks I throw at it, because I don't like G-shocks and I'm not in to sports.

Fair enough, then! Check out Ballistic watches eg through the links I posted. It will take any knocks I throw at it, because I don't like G-shocks and I'm not in to sports.
Amazing stuff though.

Thanks, now there's another watch I want!

Haha, yes! I will be using it in anger sometime next week. Might "accidentally" drop it from 12 metres if I remember. Last time a (non-G/sports) watch fell off at about 4 metres, it hit the ground and broke into several parts. Amazing stuff though.
