    I also like to have a watch that I can use for every occasion, from a morning at the gun range to an evening at a formal dinner.

    I think I'll rather keep the Sea-Dweller.
    Can't go wrong with your Sea-dweller. I have bought a few watches. A formula 1 Tag Huer a Seiko 5 dive watch and a few vintage pieces, Gruen, Waltham and Citizen. Also a 1958 Bulova in real nice condition. I am looking for a vintage Omega Seamaster. I enjoy wearing the vintage watches.

    I've never been a fan of Panerai. A lot of money for a pretty basic movement even with their "modifications".

    Keep the Rolex.

    I've been looking at Omega's lately - pixelfixed I believe mentioned he's had a few, think he was mentioning the Worldmaster...automatic movement is very fascinating for me in watches.

    You don't mean the classic one do you? I had one and even on my 6.75 inch wrist it fit great. As I recall is was around 40 or 42mm.

    By modern standards not a big or heavy piece at all.
