How about a Swatch? They even have rubber protectors to keep them from getting scratched.

When is the last time you have it serviced?  A COSC certified watch (swiss certification) should lose <5 seconds a day.

It's been almost 2 years.  I usually take it in once a year but I've been lazy lately.

I won a Brietling back in 1986.  I only wore my Seiko 600m so I gave the watch to my friend.  I now have this one which I like alot.  I like big watches and this one is really big and thick..............like me ;D

Dark blue face.  Go to timezone.com and look at the for sale forum.  You can find an Avenger new for probably $2200 and a Super Avenger (larger) for 27-2800.  Again, not really sure what you are looking for or what your price range is, but buying a watch on timezone or other watch board will save you potentially thousands over somewhere like Tourneau.


Very nice! Leaning toward an Avenger.  :)
