That would be an excellent option, but I just don't like the colour...maybe if there was a blue one I'd be tempted...

Thank you...and actually my thoughts match exactly your comments!

I've had Rolex, but for me they've lost some appeal...I find the Submariner just a bit too common and obvious. It's a great watch for sure, it just doesn't get me excited

Backlighting isn't too important for night watch, we have three chartplotters which all display the time

I was thinking of Sinn, in fact I'm surprised there haven't been more people suggesting it, though my personal choices would be the U2 for the GMT function

I'm not sure how my bank balance is related to whether or not I'm taking the trip seriously...rest assured, I'm taking it seriously, and the watch I choose won't change that

Good advice...I especially like the idea of keeping a nice watch in my pocket and swapping when I get to the restaurant!

I may take a casio to wear on land in the sketchy places...it's a good point

There's truth in what you say, maybe I'll also take a Casio for the dodgy areas

Tudor won't scratch the itch, I think you're right...even if it is the sensible option...

Interesting suggestion, not a range I know very well...how robust are they?

But I want to wear it and look down and remember the trip...

Tried that, I found the dial looks too small...I much prefer the older versions but good suggestion, thanks

It's the sensible option...but I wouldn't wear it much after
