Weekend watch
I wonder if anyone can advise me. I'm looking for a decent automatic/manual watch, SS or white gold, to wear at weekends, it should be fairly casual, robust and waterproof to, say, 100m, so I can swim with it. So a leather strap wouldn't work. Also, I would prefer a width of less than 40mm which counts out most diving watches. I don't like the look of the PP Nautilus or Aquanaut and can't bring myself to get a Rolex. I was thinking of a Breguet Marine eg 5815ST or an XX eg 3800ST. My questions are (1) which is more robust for everyday wear - the Marine or the XX? (2) any other suggestions? Thanks

Breguet weekend watch
