Beautiful watch, Ed. I "have" an Armand Nicolet diver watch (black dial, black bezel) that, unfortunately, got caught on a door (don't ask!), the bracelet unbuckled, the watch fell, and the bezel cracked. I brought it to my watch guy, he contacted AN and they said they wouldn't send a replacement bezel, but that I could send my watch to them. I miss not having a diver watch so, taking JVL's advice, I bought a watch from Long Island Watch: Silver bezel, blue face, crown at 4:00. Metal bracelet. It fits great (which I would show but I cannot upload a picture), it was reasonably priced, and it will be in regular rotation even when the Nicolet returns (someday) from its Swiss vacation.

Great choices, thanks. I need my dive watch. To time hikes with my dog. I don't need the high-pressure water-resistance though. I live at 3,600 feet above sea level (that’s almost three Sears Towers end-on-end-on-end.) and use it in the thin air of the Cascades. It's a Seiko SPB143. Not at all colorful, but also not large, which is essential for my thin wrist.
