Check out the Super Ocean 42, many options/choices/combinations. Very good watch.

If the Rolex is the one you want, I would recomend saving and waiting to get the one you really want.

If you have a specific watch in mind I would wait, if you are just wanting to buy I would consider an Omega Great White, if Breitling is your choice I would go( for the price) with an Aerospace Ti (yes it's quartz but it's highly regarded IMHO). Finally if quartz is a no no to you but you still want a B. look at a preowned Hercules, it will cost very little an allow you to save some money. Great watch for the price. Good luck and let us know what you get.

If you look hard, you can find a real nice Avenger (or Avenger Skyland) with a SS bracelet, real nice looking and good quality piece.
