currently my daily watch needs repair, and I'm wearing my backup casio but i really dont like it. so here is what I need: Automatic 44mm diameter chronograph 12 hour diver bezel (grabbing with latex gloves, so need a good grip) tough aka tool watch good lume waterproof easy to read and well marked optional: PVD coated black antimagnetic titanium on bracelet or rubber strap I'm open to suggestions and even offers of anyones used watches that they may want to be rid of. The only problem in this whole situation is my budgets is not to exceed 600. 00. A example of what I like is the Ocean7 LM-6C (pr a IWC aquatimer but thats not gonna happen anytime soon) If I keep looking online and not working, I will never graduate.

Somebody may correct me here, but I don't know of too many automatic chrono's with a 12 hour complication in your price range. Most are quartz. At least that is what I suspect.

I agree, most watches with a valjoux 7750, are our of my price range, hence I was hoping for used. (I refuse to buy another quartz) I have a guy who will sell me one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H28UN0/ref=s9_simz_gw_s1_p241_i1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1X0F8TYPNG28VFBTQ8C6&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 for 500 and its brand new. But it is so flashy, I really like the tool watch look (ocean7, marathon, etc) maybe I should just go for it?

I saw many pics from this chrono on the net and was about to buy it 2-3 years ago on the Bay: I like the look of the all stuff. This Accutron seems to give much watch for the money in fact but I can't tell for sure as I never been holding it in life and don't know anybody who did....

I own three of the non-chrono versions of this watch. They are beautifully made and the chrono version at $500 is a steal. About 2 years ago Citizen purchased Bulova/Accutron and some of these watches got "dumped" into the market at fire sale prices. Most are gone, but some still remain out there at these crazy cheap prices. Attachment: accut.jpg (Downloaded 71 times)

Comes in a nice box also. Plus, it has one of the nicest bracelets you'll find for under $1000. Attachment: accutron.jpg (Downloaded 69 times)

The only option I see for you, and it's not a bad one IMHO, it's to go with an asian 12h chrono, auto movement. I know Nick (nabco) got a very nice Marina Militare, which looked like a 44mm. The watch is beautiful, it seems to keep very good time and, if I'm not mistaken, it's under $300. If you are interested to have a look, I can PM you the sellers address and you can see for yourself. Here is a picture I took from his site. Hope it helps. hand6.gif

I'll throw in my 2 cents worth... I would vouch for the Luminox Ultimate SEAL Chrono 8151 45mm case 13.5mm deep 200m water resistance Tritium lume 12hr chrono Swiss Ronda Startech 5050.B Quartz movement Sapphire crystal And best of all $464 on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Luminox-Ultimate-Chronograph-Watch-8151/dp/B000WYCVZ6 I have had this watch for almost 2 years and it has performed flawlessly. It is one of my go to tool watches. Pictured below is mine on a MTM velcro strap...

How about this one? Nautec No Limit Automatic Chrono w/12hr, 43mm, 300M WR  I don't know anything about them, but they look good. They're on Ebay for auction and/or $425 or best offer They have some other models too, different color bezels, etc... Last edited on Fri Jan 8th, 2010 10:58 pm by wardog |

Oh and to add another part, I used the diver bezel on my last watch (from a company that sponsors this site) so much that it became bi directional. The locking mechanism wore out.
