Let's Talk Watches

I finally made my first foray into the higher-quality watch scene. I've always been heavily deterred by my job, as being in a very small cockpit tends to scratch the **** out of all metal watches I've ever had, and the only thing I really use my watch for is to marry up GPS time hacks in a brief and right when I start the jet. I just decided that I want a nice, functional, lifelong time piece, and I will continue to just wear my G-shock with a large digital display when I'm flying.
So far I love it. Anybody else have one, or have opinions?

A friend of mine who used to fly the F4 sent me some pics of his watches a while back.
He had a Seiko 6138 chrono which had been through the wringer, but is still to this day ticking just fine. He loved that particular watch because he could work the chrono just fine with his flight gloves on.
He eventually upgraded to a G-Shock DW-5600C (the "original") and then to a 5600E after the C got a few too many JP-4 stains.
can't find a pic of the 5600C.

I currently have the Nixon Player,
but want something nicer that isn't a Nixon (so many kids my age, 20, have this watch or other similar nixon watches). I like the look of the watch and want something with a similar look, simple with clean smooth lines. Looking to spend under $750 on this and I know nothing about watches. Where should I start? Any recommendations?

Rado? More than you want to spend I guess.

Pretty different than what I started out looking for, but what do you guys think about these?
