Suggestion on an everyday non Rolex watch
Discover that there is a problem on my bulova bracelet today. One of the pins holding the links together has shear off. The bracelet is clinging on, but it is only a matter of time before it goes. Since I had it for probably 10 years now it is probably not worth having it repairing.
This is the watch I go skiing and my traveling watch. It has an alarm, duel time, chronograph, date. I don't want to spend more than a few hundred buck on it. Any suggestions. |

I'd get a Hamilton for a few hundred bucks or a GShock for the bells and whistles

I have a luminox that wasn't that expensive and works well in water even though it doesn't have a screw down crown. I also Had a friend recommend Suunto watches as well. Hope this helps.

reliable...
Luminox watches are fairly inexpensive, and can handle plenty of water, snow, or whatever you throw at them...
