    I love diver watches and chronograph watches. I can't afford a Rolex or an Omega, so I bought a good, affordable automatic watch from a Japanese company that has been making outstanding affordable watches for 65 years. I got an Orient Blue Ray. It is an automatic watch that needs no batteries. The movement of your wrist keeps it wound. To me it is one of the most beautiful diver watches made, and it keeps excellent time. In four days it has only gained one second. It's rated accuracy is +\- 15 seconds a day. Here are a couple of pics:

    Very nice. It bears a resemblance to the Submariner. Enjoy it in good health.:eatdrink047:

    It is as if a Rolex Submariner and an Omega Seamaster had a child, this would be it.

    That is a great looking watch! You have very discerning taste my good man!

    I've always shied away from automatics because I don't wear a watch every day and keeping one wound is more of a pain than I want to deal with. But I'm occasionally tempted.
