OT: tough *** watches

[Uncle Ruckus]

i'm watch shopping and I think I'm down to luminox and gshock. Purely off reputation and durability I'd get a gshock but I can't really find one that I like. I don't like digital and it seems most gshock are, plus gshock's seem to be as big as a coke can is round. I'm rough on everything as it is but my job isn't easy on watches either. I also plan on using it for diving and I spend lots of time in salt water. Anyone with any gshock's or luminox?

Sector makes a tough watch. Not sure which one would be best suited for your needs though.

I've got a Patek 5164. Love it.

I love watches so I have a bunch of them. I have always been a G-Shock fan. I think I have 3 or 4 of them old and new. I also just a got a Luminox SXC GMT and I love it. I think you will be happy with either one. I will say, if your pretty rough on your watches I would probably lean towards getting the G-Shock. Just my two cents

You

really can't go wrong w either. If they're good enough for the infantry, then they'll be able to handle anything a civilian can't dish. Personally, I've had Luminox watches. The 3000 series are not expensive and tough. I've actually had my 3900 for 10 years and it is still kicking. You have to practically hit it w a hammer to scratch the face. The 8800 is also awesome and not too expensive. If you are prior military, they offer great discounts, too.

Patek Philippe makes a pretty decent watch. But I prefer my Roger Dubuis Excalibur Quatuor..............................................................

G-Shock over Luminox all day long. I've owned both and the Luminox was the most overpriced POS I've ever had. I also have a SWATCH I bought in Germany in '97 and that bastard still works perfectly and it has been abused b
