Jetpac Posted December 9, 2010 Report Posted December 9, 2010 HEy guysafter discovering this forum i can tell that it is going to cost me a of of money! At the moment im just waiting to get a bit of cash together to pull the trigger on an IWC 3717-01 also have a few others on my radar! But, by day i am a secondary school (age 11-16) PE teacher in the UK. I was wondering if you guys could recommend a watch that would be good for my job!
subbiesrock Posted December 9, 2010 Report Posted December 9, 2010 Something sporty, with a chronograph for timing. Will take a fair knock, as you'll be running around, but not overly big and distracting. I'd say Tag Heuer Link, the epitome of sportiness. Remember, Jason Bourne wears a Link
maxman Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 Casio G shock,If It were me. No It's not a rep of a high end swiss timepiece but well fare much better under the likely conditions of your PE position Imho.
praetor Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 PAM288 - start timing those laps you're forcing kids to do.
Jetpac Posted December 10, 2010 Author Report Posted December 10, 2010 Cheers folks, I was eying up the gshock but was curious to know what else may be out there!
FxrAndy Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 Na for the job you do i would go for a g shock, if you want to look good and still wear a nice watch then maybe a quartz seamaster.
Toadtorrent Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 I think a 42mm PO would be good...the new one is good with the proper HEV and no-happy feet logo.
panerai153 Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 Seiko "Monster" Black, Orange blue, etc. Tough, reliable, fairly inexpensive.

I agree,monsters are awesome, unless he needs a chronograph for timing and what not. If so the quartz version of the SM would be a great choice. There are also some nice Tag quartz reps that look pertty good.
jchurch Posted December 10, 2010 Report Posted December 10, 2010 G-Shock, or the pathfinder would work great.

Def prefer the G-shock over the pathfinder. The SM is on my list of "To-Owns" so I may look in to that one! ayopne recommend a quartz SM rep? Can you get the chrono with a date function? i think Black bezel, black rubber strap would be good when it comes to the SM? Again cheers for the recommendations guys! im still learning a lot every time i come on here!

I have a Eco drive Skyhawk that has been a very reliable and accurate timekeeper for years. Would not hurt to check out a few Citizens,again good luck
jchurch Posted December 12, 2010 Report Posted December 12, 2010 I liked the citizens also. I decided on a pathfinder a while back when I was looking for something else different. It is a little on the big side. Here is my arm with the SOSF on. But when you compare it to this thing it doesn't seem that big at all
urbanshogun Posted December 12, 2010 Report Posted December 12, 2010 get a cheapo quartz AP or Hublot rep.
plaifender Posted December 12, 2010 Report Posted December 12, 2010 G-Shock GW-7900b-1 Voted top 10 best gadgets of 2009 by Time magazine.. Don't get a rep, get something indestructible!
ChipSlap Posted December 13, 2010 Report Posted December 13, 2010 In addition to the G-shock being tough, it's good to have at least one radio-controlled watch by which to set one's mechanicals.

jchurch Posted December 14, 2010 Report Posted December 14, 2010 They do look nice. I use mine for setting my watches and wearing with my tees when I am going super casual lol.
