I concur with DRAWTOOL...... The explorer 2 polar. I've haven't taken mine off yet:

Hi John.
The stories I refer to are broken ceramic bezels, snapped clasps lugs and date jamming. Though I havn't heard much lately. Sorry I havn't any links for you.
All the best with whatever you choose.

Thanks guys for your input.
Yes I do love my 14060M and my SMP. I wear both on and off straps just like my avatar.
Alot of you have suggested the Expo polar which is odd because thats the watch I sold to buy my Sub.
And to the Speedmaster lovers i've been there aswell. Though mine was a red reduced Schumacher. Again a very nice watch that I wish I still owned as the are now worth 3 times what I sold mine for. The downside to the speedy was Hesalite crystal and Water resistance.
I know this is the Rolex forum but I know alot of you guys have other brands aswell. Looked at an IWC Aquatimer on the bay the other day that sold for £1100 ish. But the seller stated it was battery powered ?
I've also owned 4 Breitlings all single colour dials.
I kind of fancy an LV with black bezel insert as I like the maxi dial.
Keep them coming.

Since you like divers and aren't stuck to Rolex how about this?

There's a lot of bang for your buck here.
