I'd suggest one that does a decent job of keeping the correct time.

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.

Yup, they are notorious for that.  I have a GMT Masters II and it loses 5 minutes every couple of weeks.

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