Yes, time for another new watch . I have never seen any of them in person so need some expertise advice. Samanator, especially you

Also, can someone give me an estimate price on the 3?

Thank you to all.

Retail prices are up in the price list in the reference area. That's as far as we can go there per the rules. As far as suggestion some questions first.

Sporty or dressy?
Everyday or special occasion (or days with a shirt cuff).
Wrist size?
is a chronograph desirable?
Will it get wet?

I don't get along well with Chronographs so I'm not a good gauge for that but your answers here should narrow it some.

I will vote after you provide answers to Samanator's questions.

Sporty or dressy? Both. If I had to choose, more casual/ sporty
Everyday or special occasion (or days with a shirt cuff). Every day. Most always short sleeve
Wrist size? No idea. Bigger than small
is a chronograph desirable? Not desriable, but I like them
Will it get wet? Hardly ever

If it matters, I am learning towards leather strap. The reason is because my desk is killing my braclet on the new Tag since I wear it daily, which is why I need a different watch for everyday wear.

Thank you.

I voted for the diver, based on the assumption that your wrist size can handle it.

The diver is the more versatile of the lot. It looks great on both the bracelet and on the redesigned rubber strap, as well as most any aftermarket leather strap you can find. I'd bet that the new Night Train rubber strap would look good on it too.

For me the Trainmasters lose out because they're not sufficiently water and magnet resistant, and because their height-to-diameter ratio is too close. I tried on the new Trainmaster Chrono last weekend at my local AD. It just sat too tall on my wrist, in relation to its diameter.

Any idea how much thinner the redesigned strap is? I picked up one (thinking it is the redesigned version because it had a different buckle) off eBay only to find that it's hard to tell the difference between the original and redesigned thickness. The buckle is the difference. Here is a pic of the one I purchased from eBay.

Btw, I voted for the diver version. Definitely more versatile. Although the chrono would give you something to play around with during meetings....

You by chance seen one on a brown strap? The watch seems to look a lot better on stainless. Maybe I should go stainless and just grow to love the scratches since it will be my everyday watch.

Based on this I would say the diver. Much bigger case at 45mm. Defiantly more sporty. 22mm lugs offer many options for straps above the Ball rubber and bracelet. Chronograph not a priority so this appears to be the best fit to your requirements. The bracelet on this is excellent. Here is the white dial version:


Looks great on the bracelet also:

See here - Teddy Hanna Strap on EMII Diver Worldtime - for a tan leather strap. I actually wish it were more brown than tan.
