As a diver, one of my collection focuses is modern re-issues of vintage dive watches.
My own preference is the non-round men's watches of the 40s and 50s. This also means I'm wearing a lot smaller watches than are prevalent today. Since I service my own, I don't worry too much about wearing them every day. But one does have to be cognizant of them not being shockproof or waterproof!
