Watch recommendation

After saying I wasn't interested in uber expensive watches. I have been given one, which costs a small fortune. Having not worn a watch for 30 years it has reignited my desire to wear a watch. So I wear my special watch on dress occasions and got myself a nice analogue with digital insides for daily use. Plus I invested in a beautiful watch winder to keep my pride and joy wound. Just shows!

What were the chances... It's my Birthday today and I've always wanted a nice modern automatic watch. I've got an automatic Seiko which I wear everyday, a vintage Omega and my Dad has 3 nice Rolex's which I think sparked my interest. Anyway, this morning I opened a present and my fiancé has got me the new blue ceramic Omega Seamaster! A complete surprise! Currently on the way to get it resized 
I just googled Breitling Transocean. It looks nice. A lot of Breits are very fussy which I don't like but that Transocean looks a little held back which is good IMO.

. It's one of those quirky books you would find in posh garden centres etc. I agree, it's very interesting particularly as I chop, stack and season my own firewood.

I always hankered after a skeleton watch,
loved the look of the Rotary Skeletons, glass font and rear,
Not particularly expensive, but just look nice,
Was all set to buy, and then i spotted a left field alternative
an Ingersoll Ghandi Skeleton,
Saw one many years ago at a small jewelers, but he wanted silly money
for it. I managed to pick it up for just over a quarter of its current price.
It ticks like an old school watch, makes a change from the precise quartz
driven movements

Source a used Bremont Martin Baker 2. Only ever going up in value, can be sourced at the top of your budget and won't break the bank, unlike a Rolex sports watch.

I have a TAG F1 similar to this with the same strap, is ok with suit and the jeans option.
I also have a couple of Rado's with self wind thing, one all ceramic and one with a similar strap to the TAG but with pierced front, again both fine with casual or more formal wear.
Have a couple of others mot really dual wears ones IMHO.
