Although it may be a little more expensive (~500 on ebay) I would go with a Tudor watch. Tudor is Rolex's lower brand which uses the same exact case, band, and crystal as a real Rolex, with a different movement. It is an automatic. Rolex is one of the few high end watchmakers that is not a jewelery watch. You are paying for quality. I've only had the pleasure of wearing a Rolex for the past year, but I will never wear another brand as my daily watch. I have not worn a Tudor, but I have heard very good things.

I consider buying a Rolex to be similar to buying a Mercedes. You will pay a premium, but it is well worth it to have something of quality rather than a disposable item.

Good Luck,
Ty
