    Need a few ideas...

    I have burned through all of the sub $800 watches everyone has recommended. Thank you!

    Now I have $1300 at the ready. I prefer used pricing.

    So, question: would you buy 2 nice watches or one really nice watch?

    My collection was about 20 watches, but now have sold all of them and only have an Artego 300m for my daily which I love.

    Prefer autos 42mm+, should be able to be worn daily with no issues for comfort. Bracelet is a must and I like them to be heavy or at least have some weight.

    Give me a few ideas guys!!

    PS not a fan of deep blue or invicta.

    Both excellent suggestions. Also take a look at Oris divers.

    Just sold the Oris Aquis because it was so small on the wrist. Nice piece though. I will check out the U1.

    That's right! I can't believe I forgot you had the Aquis so quickly. Man, I'm getting old.

    Have you tried (or looked at) SAS watches? Received the SAS Sea-01 last week and I'm very happy with it. Very well made, serious bracelet if you like heavy and works well on straps too and new will come in under your price point.

    Used Korsbek Oceaneer or Doxa 1200t (i like the Caribbean model) are my favorites in this category right now. Both would require some hunting to get within your price range though.
    Current watches:
    Marathon GSAR, G-Shock GW2310-1, Luminox 0102

    So you enjoy the Doxa, Doxas, Doxies?? How do you pluralize Doxa, is it Doxi? :)

    What do you think of the SO? I have a chance to grab one, but I have to save a few hundred more.
