I bet my answer will shock you JJ, but it would be this one:
It's as tough as they come, carries no baggage like the Rollies I owned, and when it finally needs service it won't cost me $800 like one of the luxury brands.
I may have some modifications done to it, or not...I can't decide. But, I really love this watch. It's a simple dive watch, in the true sense of dive watch, not some jeweled up, overpriced desk diver watch.
I'm really doing a 180 with watches. While I still appreciate the history of Rolex, Panerai, Omega, Breitling, etc, I'm now getting more enjoyment out of cheaper watches like Seiko and Citizen (both of which are listed at the top of most honest WIS's list of the only true manufactures in the world).
Value is becoming more important to me. Maybe I'm becoming more practical. Inexpensive doesn't mean cheap, although there are still many inexpensive watches I wouldn't touch with a 10' barge pole. I think one would be hard pressed to beat Seiko and Citizen for quality at their price point, especially when a jewelers finish isn't part of the equation, just a good watch!
Cheers,
Bruce

Don't know that I could ever have only one watch again. ;D
My first attempt with a garbage can....er..um..I mean a light box.
