just a $130 dollar g-shock (read my review on epinions.com g-shock, g-511) because i also trash watches and i wanted the toughest watch out there that i could find...i didn't care if i had to spend way more, either
of course, i could have got a diver watch from omega, rock solid, but that would have been ridiculous for me, both with my lack of income and lack of social occasions where i would wear such a watch in that $1,000-$20,000 dollar range that they are most famous for, behind only rolex
i know in that range rado makes some really nice looking watches that don't look so utilitarian but still have the full toughness of an omega or rolex dive watch, yet they are thin
i found out that any super tough watch that also is thin and goes well as a dinner watch/formal watch is no less than a grand...it seems like solid movements with all the shock protection and water resistance 200m or above takes a lot of high end swiss technology so i guess that's what really steered me to a much more affordable thick watch...if money were no object, i would want swiss accuracy in a swiss quartz movement or maybe an automatic chronometer, 300m water resistance, shock resistance, and some 18k gold to highlight brushed and polished stainless steel but that's usually over three grand (ie... breitling, omega, jaeger-lecoultre, tutima) and i would probably get a powerbook instead
yeah, and i could get a swatch, and that would be like getting an omega or rado, because swatch owns those two companies, and a dozen or so more luxury companies...but we don't really need to know that
