All the watches posted above are pretty nice but look way too thin and small for my likings (except that BR which looks good)...
I only swear by Vestal watches min 52mm, next one will be a 57mm.

Definitely debaufre.
I ordered an ocean 1 from them a few weeks ago and should get it within the next few days! awesome watches.

As for an attainable dream watch either a rolex sub or a breitling superocean II.

Will probably get this soon since it's not expensive, not high quality, but I love the design:
Then later, a Panerai / Ferrari:
A Bell & Ross:
Breitling Bentley:
Audemars Piguet:
etc...

Yo, Nocif and Russian, if you're going to take pictures with you're iphones (3GS and 4 respectively) make sure to "secure your pictures.
I'd take them down ASAP because anybody who wants can get a fix on your location to within 20 feet. Don't worry I'm not going to do anything but who knows who else might.
If you want to call me on it i'll send you a PM of a google map with the location, as of yet, all I did was check to see if it had.
If I had to get a watch I would want this one.

I have a Tissot T-Touch (stainless, not titanium), very nice watch.

I own these watches:
Tissot T-Touch (first version, paid $1000 over 10 years ago)
tokyoflash shinshoku, one of their first
Nixon Duke
and my latest buy: Welder K-24 #00064
it's the same designer as U-Boat, but a cheaper movement (Miyota OS10) to lower the price. The watch is huge (50mm plus the button protector, makes it bigger than many 52+ mm watches) and heavy.
=====
When I was in St-Maarten, I drooled over dozens of high end watches. It<s craxy. But in St-Barthelemy, I saw this watch and fell in love... until I asked the price.
Guy Ellia Round Square 2388 Jumbo Chrono
This watch was nominated in the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève 2007 under the Sports Watch catergory.
