A 'must-have' watch

I think the Omega Seamaster Pro(James Bond version) is a must have for any watch collector, or anyone looking for their first fine watch.

I am somewhat a collector. I own a TAG Heur, a Cartier Tank, a Bvlgari Chrono, a Breitling Chronomat, and even a Rolex Datejust(my least favorite wacth. I only wear it when I visit clients). I originally bought the Seamaster because I got a Grrreat deal on it and I also collect a lot of James Bond stuff.

The Omega is one of the least expensive watches I own, yet it is one of the watches I wear most often(next to my Cartier and Breitling). There are some cosmetic features about the Seamaster that I prefer over the Submariner. Such as the skeleton hour/minute hands, the red tip on the second hand, and the sea wave dial. I personally like the wave design because it adds a nice texture, giving the watch an expensive look. I do get a lot of compliments for this watch. Overall, the Seamaster is a great value.

By the way, I'm looking for a good auto winder. Where is the best place I can buy one at a good price?

Thanks
