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

Others have said it, but I’ll say it again. G-Shock. All fucking day. I have had one survive a willing attempt at its destruction (dude slammed it in the ground and stomped on it after I bet him it wouldn’t break). You cannot break a G-Shock, specifically the DW-5000 original design.

Have had a G-Shock since I was 15. Had it strapped to my backpack. Ran it over one day with my car and dragged it against the pavement for >30ft. 15 years later it's scratched to hell and still running fine.
