The one Chase-Durer I wished I would've have bought when they were available was the Bomber Commander... made from an actual B52 BUFF... I was AMMO in the USAF so it holds a special place in my heart... It was <$400 at the time... but here's another <$500 CD..

I love that watch, but didn't want to stress about. It now sits in the bank vault. I visit it once a year.

Now I wear an $80 Casio I bought on Amazon. No more stress.

Depending on condition...that sucker is worth a lot more than you paid for it...anywhere from $3500 to $5500

I know Rolex well if you ever need help with value. Don't let anyone tell you it isn't worth $$$$$

THIS IS WHY ROLEX are "what they are hyped" to be!!!!!

I was thinking of higher end Chase and Movado...

Also on that last Chase ...automatic Japanese movements he'd be better off just getting a Seiko SKX007J Diver....easily under $300 bucks and WR to 200meters.

Invicta has a wide spectrum of watches from low end citizen quartz movements to swiss made watches with high end movements and designs for almost every taste. Look at their catalogue on their site.....they are nice.

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to hit all the points in one post...

I don't like Movados blank faces
GShocks are not classy and versatile
Inaccurate Rolex sounds like an oxymoron

I like the Bulova Marine Star and Citizen Nighthawk

Some of the others I was looking at...

Seiko Solar Diver Chrono


Deep Blue T100 (not sure if I like the tritium inserts)
