: I'm the proud owner of a Casio
: "G-Shock" digital watch ($30) with
: excellent accuracy, day, date, alarm,
: stopwatch, reverse timer, and a nifty blue
: light, shock resistant and water resistant
: to 200 meters. I've never owned a "fine
: watch." And, since most "fine
: watches" seem to function no better
: (and often considerably worse) than an
: inexpensive Wal-Mart special, I'm unlikely
: to ever buy one.
And that is perfectly okay. Really, if you don't have any interest in a fine watch, why don't you convince your fiancee to buy you something else?
It would be nice to have you join us in owning a luxury watch. We collectively sure enjoy the ones we all have. But if it is not the right thing for you, you will likely end up frustrated and dissapointed.
Mechanical and even quartz luxury watches do require more care and can get banged up just as much as a cheap watch. So unless you are sure you prepared to deal with that, you might try a relatively inexpensive mechanical first to make sure before going for a $1000 and up timepiece.
A good starter watch mechanical/autoamtic would be the Invicta Diver that looks very similar to a Rolex Submariner. It can be had for $150 or less.
