And just in order to bring the thread back to watches, I have a question for the resident experts.
As I'm trying to find a daily driver, I would like to find a watch that will be impervious to heat, cold, rain, water, dust, etc. I want to wear it and not have to worry about it. I already had a Hanowa Swiss military go bust in a Zim swimming session, so I do not want to repeat this.
I'm quite enamored by the IWC pilot watches, but looking at their different Mark XII , XVI XVIII etc. most of them only have a 5ATM water proof rating. The newest Mark XX has a 10ATM water proof rating but is also twice as expensive. Is a 5ATM rating enough to never have to think about water as a danger? If I wear it for a swim (not a dive), washing hands, rinsing the blood off under a stream of water, etc.
Or should I look more towards diving watches to get those capabilities? Like the Omega Seamaster that is growing on me.
