You need a nixon 51-30.
Every where I go people compliment me on it. Men women and children. I am not kidding. It's only $400. Check it out. I have two, a black face and a white face. I am a manager at a four star hotel and you would not believe the compliments I get.

not a fan of rubber/plastic straps.
they're not comfortable and I think they look cheap. I tried on that Chopard in your post...very uncomfortable. I think you're better off with a SS bracelet.
the other thing to consider is that an automatic isn't necessarily the best choice for sport use, especially sports where violent or repetitive motion could damage the movement.

Re: Need a new watch...thoughts??
Panerai all the way. That looks like the PAM252 North Pole Edition. I own Panerai and besides great large style 44mm on most they hold there value Better than most watches including Rolex. Straps change within a minute you can have rubber,leather,gator ect.. It is very easy to change the strap and that can change the look of the watch. I have been a Panerai owner for about 4 years use it a daily watch and during sporting activities and runs great. Check our the website paneristi.com lots of info to make your decisions.
