I too have developed a taste for the automatic/mechanical watches. I finally opted for an older Omega Seamaster Professional Chronometer. Spendy watch but extremely well made and will hold value if you get it at the right price.

I was really sick of buying watches that were built with disposability(sp) in mind and am not a big fan of quartz movements. Probably for the same reasons I own M1As, Les Baer 1911s, and Remington 870 Police; I get what I pay for..fine tools.

Good luck.
