IMO it depends if it's a watch you want to wear or one that you want to sell. In the first case the resale value isn't a criteria and in the later, well maybe you should consider buying some S&P 500 stock instead.
I have two watches that falls in the category of summer watches. The first is the Islander ISL-68.
The other is the Seiko SNA411 Flightmaster once I put it on the yellow rubber.
That's because the chrono module has only power for an hour, but they could have used the sub-dial for something a bit more useful, like un slaving the hand and using it to track another time zone for example.

Wearing the DW-5600E is like returning to the original starting point, or at least this is what it feels like for me. I never wore its ancestor, the D...

Well, that's a new one.
Usually the last thing that cross my mind when I think about titanium watches is being fancy. Titanium is a dark matte grey with a hint of purple when...
