Wow, cool watches everyone! I love a nice timepiece but don't currently wear a watch. 
I had a nice Bulova once. It was stolen from me several years ago. I also had my beloved Casio calculator watch taken from me (at knife point) when I was 16 yrs old.
I wear a G-shock Frogman when I go diving, which isn't all that often any more. If I dived more often I'd spring for a nice wrist computer.
If my wife buys me a nice watch, as she's been contemplating recently, I'll post it up here.

A 1963 Omega Seamaster &still going strongly.
I dropped it in a ships bilge full of sea water in the late 60's , could not find it until opening the suction valve chest & there it was , on its way to the reciprocating steam pump. Soaked it in kerosene until visiting the watchmaker.

I don't know anyone in your area. I have a very good watchmaker I deal with but he is strickly carry in. Very old school he doesn't believe that you can buy anyting from the internet thinks it is just for ****. I have brought him watches that were complete wrecks and had them come back new. Best bet would be to join timefactors.com and ask on the general watch forum if anyone knows of one in your area.

Now Patek is an old mans watch brand (also old money). I love Omegas as this was the brand my father wore when I was a kid I have 14 of them (recent and vintage).

To some extent, I do agree that Patek is still old money, but there's been a recent trend of young ballers (sports players, musicians, designers) in the know who roll with Patek. No one builds a better watch than Patek in my opinion, and the price tag reflects that.

Cartier Santos 100 - I don't like it, really
Rado - I don't even know the model
IWC - pocket watch, new old stock - never used, now in process of transformation, I am (read group of experts) making hand watch of it, of course fully usable. If any interests I can post some pics when finished.
