Aquatimer if you like divers and big watches. Ingenieur if you prefer a bit smaller and dressier.

The Vintage Collection watches are pretty big...especially compared to Rolexes.

sorry I dont know enough about proper vintages to comment but porsche design aquatimers are brilliant ..and so are the rather recently put out of production ingenieurs (sp?) in titanium...you may also look at the vintage line products for a modern+vintage piece :)..of these, I love them in this order: Ingeniuer most, Aquatimer, Pilot, Potugese, Portofino and then the DaVinci...although this is just a subjective opinion...they are all absolutely gorgeous pieces on their own

XII or XV pilots are pretty nice and not over priced...
