 Looks like I'm getting engaged in June. I sold a couple of watches and I'm still trying to offload more before I buy the ring. Ironically, I might be getting an engagement watch from my gf's family. I'm trying to figure out what would be good. I typically like bigger diving watches, but this would probably be an heirloom. Furthermore, I would not ask for something crazy expensive, like a Breitling or an Omega Co-Axial. I have been looking at the following:

1) Oris Carlos Coste Small Seconds (Orange markers, black face/bezel)
2) Longines Master Chronograph (white dial, silver subdials, blue numerals, stainless case/bracelet).
3) Doxa Sub 750T (this is way out of the price range, I know).
4) Fortis Square

Any suggestions for good heirloom watches which are stainless, automatic (Swiss), sapphire, with a white or black face?

To give you an idea of my tastes, I currently own an Omega Seamaster Automatic (full size, Bond), a Vintage silver Omega Constellation automatic, a bead blasted Benarus Sea Devil and a Seiko Kinetic diver (black on silver).

Thanks!
