Frank;
From a pic of you standing by your car I would have guessed your age at about low 30's, however after your response, I would have to change that to high 30's, but your pic doesn't look it. If I am older than you, (which I am by a longshot) can I have your car? I would trade you a good .45 for a few of those .40's that you are so fond of.

Rolex is out!!! My dad wears a Rolex and it looks like an old man watch to me. Thanks for the replies but I've decided on the Tag Formula 1 with the black dial. 
Here's the pick of the watch: http://www.watchclick.com/bigimages/cac1110-ba0850.jpg

Tag Heuers are very nice watches. I have 2 a stainless/18k 6000 series http://www.worldofwatches.com/detail.asp?sn=346828134&pf_id=28262&rph=50226
and a 2 tone 2000 series http://www.worldofwatches.com/detail.asp?Sn=346828507&pf_id=3587&dept_id=120&md_id=2 .
They are comfortable, reliable and durable. I also like Movado. Movados are reliable and usally pretty light (except the "SE" models).
When you but a Rolex, you are buying a name. They are not very reliable watches and need upkeep most watches dont. But, with a Rolex they dont lose value. They are very good investment pieces.
I buy/sell all makes and model watches.

I distinctly remember you telling me that you would never own a .45. I am glad to see that you stepped up to the .45. You got mail, BTW

I would have to vote for the Rolex as I have always worn a Submariner and really don't think you can wrong with one. Here's the way I look at it, most women have several thousand dollars worth of jewelry and I have a 3,000 dollar watch and a wedding band so why not? Now does anyone NEED a watch of that caliber? No. A 9.99 digital watch from Wal-mart keeps as good time, but when you strap on a big Rolex, Tag or Omega you will notice the difference. To put it in car terms,(or truck terms) it really is the difference between a base model Nissan and a fully loaded F350 4x4 Dually diesel
well i can...but you see the rolex will.... and the .....and the omega can .....
you are absolutly right flyingn, i think if it takes a $1200 or $1500 dollar watch for you to tell time
, but i know it's just kind of a feel good piece, you feel good about putting it on but i don't know about spending that much cash on a watch, but if you got the cash what the hellYou might also want to look into a Breitling... I recently purchased one and I am very happy with it. Fantastic quality and I really like their styling compared to many of the other brands out there. I like it so much I'm probably going to pick up another one in the next year, probably a Blackbird. Love the looks of them.
You could also dump $50K+ on a Roger Dubuis if you're feeling silly, and can rest easy at night knowing there are only 27 other watches like yours in the world. (they only make 28 of any given model, then move on.) However, I find them hideously ugly...

(they only make 28 of any given model, then move on.) However, I find them hideously ugly... I have mostly seen 3-4 brand watches mentioned here, Tags, Rolex, Omega, and Breitling. All good brands IMO, but far from the best I'm afraid. Someone referred timezone.com. If you want to dig a little deeper into this area, please visit this site. It would answer most of your questions.
Well I love all my watches

Personally, I think Tags are overrated. You'd be better off with a Rolex investment-wise. I like Breitlings and Jaeger Le Coutre as well. If you're looking for a status piece, go with a Franck Mueller or Patek Phillipe. They're both a little pricey, but awesome watches. Good Luck either way!
Wow that is a gorgeous watch. I am still a big fan of Omega. I have a '62 model Seamaster that is one of my favorites. The Submariner in stainless is probably the most durable(ran over it with the car on accident). I also like the Maurice leCroix. When my dad passed away, he left me his watch collection. I have always liked a nice watch, I guess it is just a way for me to express my taste and own something that a lot of people don't even recognize. It is a lot like owning a Turbo Regal, most people have no clue what it is.
