My beloved, on the occasion of our upcoming anniversiary, wants to get me a watch or a knife. Knowing me for the picky bastich I am, she gave me a budget, and told me to find one I like. I have $100-$200, so nothing too fancy. I have a whole bunch of knives, but only one watch, so I'm leaning towards the timepiece. I'd like a beater watch, one I'd never need to take off, and would have a hard time breaking. Ocean (not a diver, but I like to swim), woods, gym, etc. I'd prefer analog, date would be nice, tritium or self luminescent hands/numbers or markers and (probably not in this price range) self winding/automatic. I'll happily go with a battery or a winder if the tough factor is there. I'd also give up the date, but I'm kind of stuck on the analog and tritium. I have a nice shiny stainless Swiss Military watch, so a subdued or black case is fine. Also, I have a huge wrist (8 1/2"), most watches need links added, or a longer strap, it's rare that a watch fits me as is, so a large case is fine, and stock bands that run large are nice too. Any recommendations? .
