: Great Autavia Abel, it look great in black. Thanks everyone.
: There's been a very varied mix of suggestions; from David's
: Panerai ( still can't quite get over that as a knockabout!!) to
: re-issue TAGs and Seiko's. I've thought about a re-issue Autavia
: like Abel's but they're still abit more than I want to pay but I
: think Peter's Seiko's look the business. A real rough and tumble
: knockabout. We'll see though...

I've got a Sinn 556 for the slightly-tougher-than-normal occasions, but for a real knockabout (ie rock climbing & swimming) I've just got a cheap digital Highgear Enduro - actually the Obama's Third Watch from the thread here.

I think the best idea is an old Seiko Diver, those things are relatively indestructible :)
