Need a new watch - reccomendations?

[doch]

Well, I think I'm getting out of this hobby, and I'm going to need a new shiny something to cushion the blow of selling all of my gear.

My name is Murdoch, and I'm a watch-oholic! (yeah, that's right... watchohol.)

Anyways, I've been collecting for a while now, but they've all been relatively inexpensive (read: they don't last all that long). I'm looking to use a few of my tank sell off dollars and buy myself a big boy watch. I'm thinking somewhere in the realm of $500-$1000... MAYBE a little more than that for a spectacular watch. (definetly no more than $1500. No rolex, or brietling)

Anyways, I'd appreciate suggestions. I've been looking at Tissot... any opinions?

Thanks!
