First of all yes I know there is another thread on this, I even posed in it. But I'm looking for a tough badass watch. All the watches in the other thread are all fancy watches that do everything but wipe your ass. I'm going into the Air Force in February and I want a good watch that

1. Has both military time, and regular 12 hour on it.
2. Has to be analog.
3. Has to be able to take a good beating and still work.

I have no idea on what to look for when it comes to watches because I know nothing about them, or any companies that are in the game other than Rolex.

inb4 stupid ridiculous looking watches that are unrelated to what I asked for.

You're going to be a pilot? Get a Breitling Professional. I nearly got one myself; they're automatic analogue chronometers, with digital features. So basically, you get a standard analog watch, which also has separately-powered digital displays. They're specifically marketed for aviation.

http://www.breitling.com/en/index.php#/models/professional/airwolf-raven/

They run between 3,000-3,500 dollars, which is obviously expensive, but they last generations; this is the kind of thing you hand down to your grandchildren.

So yeah. You probably want that one.

Truth. I'm partial to Omega...I ended up getting a Seamaster instead of the Breitling, but this is probably more suited for OP's needs.

Rolexes are retarded. If you're going to blow that much on a watch, get some class and buy a Patek Phillipe

That is a dope watch but I don't need all that shit on there. I'm not going to be a pilot, I'm going to be a mechanic working on the F-16 fighter jets. So just something that tells the time and is able to withstand some punishment.

So this is the watch I got only with a few minor differences. But the problem is that it has a leather strap. I'm afraid that it will wear down over time and fall apart one day. So now that I have the watch that I was looking for, my question is now this. What type of strap should I get? I kinda want a metal one, but have not heard good things about them.

Did you end up getting one? Luminox makes probably the most durable watch for the money; a few hundred dollars buys you an indestructible timepiece.

Yes.

Rolexes are for people who want to spend a ton of money on a watch that everyone recognizes as a watch that costs a ton of money. You'd be FUCKING AMAZED at the quality of the Rolex fakes that are out there right now, I know a jeweler that tells stories of $150 roley fakes from the city that are so close you can't even tell without pulling off the back and inspecting the gear teeth. I want one of those more than a real Rolex hahahahaha...

The only other watches I really like besides Breitling is a Rado, and it's because they're ceramic which is huge for me because I'm a welder and it is actually an insulator rather than a conductor, meaning I could wear it at work if I wanted to, that and they're super fkn light.

Whoever spent 100 on that green nixon watch, kill yourself.
