Watches - another passion of ours, it seems...post your pics!

  I suggest:
Seiko SARG009
Orient Mako USA II (Mako II or Ray II if you don't care for the sapphire crystal)
and the Citizen as mentioned before.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will probably get myself a lum-tec v2 or v1 though but I am kind of afraid it will look tiny on my 8.75" wrist

Yeah it will consider the dial being so small within the 44mm case, and for the price you can get a pretty good automatic instead of quartz.
 
p.s. I have 2 Casio GPW1000 (1A and FC-1A9), which is only about $600 now with GPS.  Highly recommended if you don't need a dress watch.

Oh no, the 44mm measurement is excluding the case itself. And both of the watches have ETA 2824-2 inside, not to mention the local dealer quoted me a pretty good deal compared to buying directly from the website.

Sounds good to me.  Also, I would go for a 22mm nylon deployant or NATO with the V1/V2.

Hehe, you seems to be a nylon strap fan. You might be interested in their combat b series lineup since some of them comes with nylon strap as default

Doubt I will a nylon strap for my V series since I am mostly using it for dress watch

Thanks.  If you are planning on using the V1/2 as a dress watch, then I highly recommend looking for a PVD bracelet from StrapCode/MiLTAT.

  BTW, if you want value for a dress watch, you really can't beat the Citizen NH8350-59E.

Love that black Hammy and it's true the Citizen is nice looking, may have even saved me $350 on this one! (I mean how close in looks are they)

Oh man you are right...  The only real difference that I can tell is that the indexes on the Citizen are paint on raised letters, but the hands have loom :).

Clinton World Timer I got on ebay awhile ago... like this watch it is from the 70s, doesn't have a quick set however and a total pain to set the day , date on... but whatever... I guess.
 
as you can see my cat Fitz is helping me out with my work in this shot... he very helpfully is sitting on my mouse pad and blocking my monitors with his cat body... perhaps telling me time for ergonoic break from computer??

Not as loaded as some but I love my Citizen watches. Here's the JYpp5-50E. Don't much care for watches bigger than this (46 mm) but it works great as my work watch.

 
Pretty cool.
 
I like the orange circle around the second hand. I need my reading glasses and Visine to see some of the amenities on the face

Is this like a new edition or something?! I like.
