I have 2 watches from a company in Israel. Adi watches are made on a kibbutz and are issued to the IDF. I have 2 different sport/diver versions with rubber bands.
My holy grail would be a bronze marine officers watch from Stienhart, coupled with a Horween leather nato band.

Oh, runner up would be a maratac jsar.
I'm starting to watch watch restoration videos on YouTube.
There's something satisfying about watching someone clean every nook and cranny of each part, put everything together, and watching everything work in harmony.

I'm addicted to those videos and also shoe cobbler videos

Nice! I have two Luminox, & love 'em. My son said his electronic watch charges overnight. I said mine's GTG for 10 years.
I would never be able to get that thing back together again.
Citizen Skyhawk AT, paid $119 out the door at a pawnshop in Carson City a few years ago. Plain old Apple Watch with a clip on compass. That I clip on my cuff or map edge as needed.

I have a Suunto 5 for working out/running/rucking, etc., and a Casio G-Shock Mudman.
Truth us, I only wear a watch when I am exercising; otherwise, bare naked wrist.

My wish for watch is a Marathon GSAR. I just like big, functional watches.
Wait for Nov and Dec. that’s when they have big sales
Sounds like Christmas to me

I imagine you aren’t shooting azimuth with it, but have you noticed any issues with the electronics and metal in the Apple Watch affecting the compass?
Yes Sir I have. It is completely inaccurate while clipped on the band. It is easy to remove from the band though. To clip it onto my map cover. When I am out orienteering. I have a mil issue tritium Cammenga and a Silva Ranger. Along with a couple of cheaper Suunto’s. That I hand out to people.
@JedisonsDad , land navigation is a hobby for me Sir.
Check out SwissWatchExpo. I've went to their brick and mortar in Atlanta and scheduled a block of time for a showing to look at their watches. They're legit, and if you dont mind authentic pre-owned for 25% off, they're the place to go. Got my seamaster from there back in 2018. Price and inventory will vary, but I was able to get a Seamaster Professional with the original case/tags/etc for a very generous price.
