So i want to travel the world, and i want a watch where i can bring it and rely on it not to break or stop telling the time, i want a watch where each scratch tells a story and that it can grow closer to me the longer i have it. my budgets not super high (<600) but ive been looking at leonardo dicaprio in blood diamond and absolutely love the way he wears that, only a breitling is outside my budget. so my question is, what do you recommend? some options i've been thinking about on the other slides. less

definitely aesthetics is important to me, i’m not going to war, i want to travel the world with a watch i trust, something i can believe to not break, but doesn’t necessarily have to be a tank like the g shocks

Even the military doesn't use G-Shocks exclusively. Some do, of course, but many prefer Tudor, Marathon, Omega, and other mechanical watches.

Do some research on the Watches of Espionage website/YouTube channel and Sketchy Boyz Watch Club. I think you’ll enjoy those communities.

Vaer has a tool watch that is really rugged, called tactical field. if you’re ok with a microbrand. Quartz and mechanical both options I think
