What time do you wear?

I prefer well-made, self-winding diver's watches with robust crown protectors and replaceable rotational bezel's elevated above the crystal to prevent scratches. I prefer self-winding wrist watches because the back seals don't need to be re-broken over and over to replace batteries. In my experiences, the internals are often way better built than battery operated models. Some expensive battery powered watches have very cheap internal components.

These models stood up to my toughest tests over time and keep looking good.

Still wearing my auto-winding Omega Seamaster Pro Chronometer.. Love it! It's been over 8 years, and it has never left my wrist!

I've seen these in the store and they're beautiful (especially the manual winding Luminor). Does anyone know if they're reliable? I'm surprised no one hear has posted anything about them. They're expensive, but no more so than several of the other watches mentioned.

Glad to see you guys like your Omega Seamasters after all this time. I will definitely check them out next time I want a new watch.

I have a luminox F117 Nighthawk which I believe was a special edition and no longer made that I've been wearing for about six years now. Within a year of purchasing it the ratcheting mechanism on the bezel broke and the bezel just moved around freely Luminox would not honor the warranty because they stated it was not purchased from an authorized Luminox dealer even though the watch was genuine. It then happened again last summer, and for some reason the minute hand becomes loose from time to time and have to bring it to a local jeweler who fortunately tightens it for approx $10.00. Prior to this model I had the navy seals one with the blue face and the movement literally went one month after the warranty and had to pay for the repairs. I Haven' had very good luck with Luminox. Sorry for the rant

Hi Metman
Was looking at the Luminox as well, loved the night time visibility but chose a Prometheus Jellyfish instead.
The watch also uses tridium, is 300M water resistant and comes with a great SS watchband with screws instead of pins.
Great value.
