And what better place than here to get some great advice? So my wife and her sister want to give their father a new watch and I would appreciate your input. He is 50+ and the kind of guy that rather would be shot than to wear a pink shirt. He is a security guard and wears a suite one a year. So I'm looking for a masculine model, but not too fancy. Looking to spend maybe $200-$300. Gen, homage or rep doesn't matter. I´m leaning towards the B&R but I'm not sure, any tips on homages with a good movement?

Unkillable, tough and last forever. Best lume in the business too which is a plus in his job. Also the Hardlex crystal is a lot harder to smash than sapphire especially since it's 3.5mm thick!
I'd be buying one from Reto, you may get it a little cheaper elsewhere but I doubt it will be much and his come with the bracelet which is one of the very best on any dive watch. I can highly recomend the guy, I buy a lot from him and by that I mean 30 - 50 watches a year.

No better choice mate. It also has one of the most simple MVTs in existence.
These things get 20 years without a service, easy. I wear mine splitting wood, chainsawing, shooting and a lot of things you are not supposed to do with an automatic watch with no ill effects what so ever.
I have sold probably 20 of them over three years and never had an issue.
That black moster is the real deal man.....I had one of the early 6309 Divers....can't miss with this watch, just cannot miss.
My father (who can afford all the gen rollies) is wearing a Seiko.
Much respect for the brand. :woot:
