Speedbump,
I've had my Tag down to 125' while SCUBA diving with no problem.

I have a Breitling watch and I love it. I wear it all the time and have had it for about five years with no trouble. It's a beautiful looking watch but a little pricey, about $ 4,500.

Check out the Citizen Eco Drive models. Especially the dive watches. It charges the battery by light hitting the face.

Omega Seamaster. Very tough. Made for a marine environment. Good to 300 meters. Save the Rolex for land use...

Omega Seamaster Professional Chrono. Great tough watch. Just under $3K. If you don't get the chrono you can save a grand. 300 meters. I've had mine for 4 years and I love it.

Wow Thanks for the recommendations guys! I guess I'll go watch shopping this week (b-day is the 12th).

However, no offense...if I had $4,000 I'd get a couple of enhancements and not a watch

Thanks again! Off to shop...ugh not my favorite thing to do

Kirch and Seanclong...you know what's up!!..you'll pull the skin right off you arm before u bust the band or scratch the face. i don't like to have to remove my watch to wrench...can't tell ya how many good watches i've had...this by far is the plainest but most functional one i have owned. check out the locking system on it...

Freestyle makes inexpensive waterproof waches that are pretty stylish and scratch resistant. Ive had mine down to 130ft. with no problem

Get that free watch that comes with the Mag. Subscription

I would go with the Rolex or Tag. Rolex has the best crystal. If it ever gets scratched they will replace it free of charge
