I promised myself when I retired from USN that when I turned 50, I was getting myself a Submariner .... David SW took very good care of me. Highly recommended!!

Don’t do it as an investment, do it because it’s a mechanical marvel that can literally be enjoyed almost all day, every day unlike cars, boats, trucks, firearms, aircraft, etc.. Everything else is a bonus...

With minimal care and service, watches with genuine mechanical movement (not Chinese clones) are immortal and can be enjoyed by the owner for a lifetime. For Quartz movements you will probably get about ten years.
With this on, the Doc can tell you how long you need to stay bent over and cough……
And it cleans right off with a hose....
I've had my eye on this since it came out. I've always loved the El Primero and this is next level for me.
Zenith Chronomaster Sport. I'd take this all day over a Rolex Daytona.

My grail watch is a Lange Zeitwerk.

Love that. 36000 BPH is sweet. I’ve had my eye on these as well.
I have several quartz watches well over 10 years old - one that is approaching 30 - and they run just fine.
No reason a quartz watch can't run a very very long time. The only potential issue is when you let the battery die and store it without removing it for years on end. The battery will eventually degrade and ruin the movement.
I have yet to have that happen.
I have a 1st Gen Citizen Eco Drive that still runs if I put it in the sun to recharge. The capacitor could probably be changed, but at this point I'm not sure I'd even want to mess with trying to refurb it. It was a great watch for a long long time - a daily wear for years - but I have a lot of other pieces, many of them mechanical, that I rotate.

I like it. Love the radiation symbol too. Always cool on a tritium watch.

I'd like a mil issue Hamilton field watch... anything to be on the lookout for? Good idea or just buy a new one. I like made in USA ...
I like Hamilton watches. Nothing wrong with the modern ones. Just know that Hamilton has been owned by Swatch since the 70’s. Some people have a thing about that. Swatch owns a huge number of luxury watch brands.

Ordered the new Samsung galaxy watch 4 classic. Upgrading from my gear s3 that has served me well of the past 4-5 years.
I find it comical that people are still spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on watches that only tell the time. Yeah I get it, they will last forever and they have there place but I just cannot go back to a dumb watch. I may get a cheap one for a shtf scenario where a smart watch would be useless.
