Hey bro, thanks, I appreciate it, but when I say I don't wanna pay the price for a Breitling, I mean that they are -way- above my budget!!! lol
In fact, my preference would be to stay under 500. I'm really not hung up on name brands for a watch, just wanted something that met my description at the beginning of the thread, something with a fairly deep/thick face, etc.
I saw a Swiss Army Maverick in a store the other day. Wasn't -exactly- what I'm looking for, but not bad..
Another I saw, but still out of my range (about 1700..) was a metal strapped Mont Blac Meisterstuk (sp?)......very classy..
