Looks-wise I agree with Auld Argonian: the Amazon watch looks nice. From a durability standpoint the Colibri will probably be a better bet due to it's full hunter case. I like a watch that is reliable, durable, and easy to read. As nice as the skeleton watches are, they are not the most easy to read.

If you don't mind my asking, are you looking at this watch strictly as a tool, or will it become a family heirloom? If you are thinking "heirloom", then search around for a decent pocket watch with a 17 jewel movement from the 1930s. These can be found in antique shops, at gun shows, and on-line. There are also pocket watch collectors out there who will steer you in the right direction. You should also check out your local "mom & pop" jewelery store-- avoid the mass market guys at the mall-- and tell them what you are looking for. You'd be suprised what lurks in the back room at most of these places.

Anyhow, good luck finding that classic time piece!
