I was toying with you a bit... a couple of Hamilton 992... Howard Series O.. Illinois Bunn Special..... Those are some of the better ones. I have a 993 pristine HC, Howard series VII HC. I love the craftmanship..

I have been into (thinking about getting, don't own any) big watches lately. 40 - 44 mm. Trying to resist just caving in a buying a Panerai. It's too much money for a watch IMO, but there just so cool....

I've been interested in old pocket watches for many years, but only have a couple. Ones a WW1 infantry watch and the other is from my father (forget the name). My other watch is a Sako dive watch from 1981 or 2, auto winder that stopped about 10 years ago and I haven't gotten around to getting it fix'd...

I have an Omega Speedmaster, but really like a Tissot as an everyday watch. I have bought 4 of them and they have all been great. Hard to scratch the face and very accurate.

Here's mine, Omega Speedmaster X-33. IMO just about the perfect watch, if it was 300M waterproof instead of about 5M it'd be perfect.

If I wanted to get a relatively inexpensive, yet reliable "eco-drive" type watch (no battery!), what would I have to look at? A friend of mine just got a REALLY nice one, but his salary can accomodate over double the cost that mine can, so I dunno if I can take buying pointers from him....
