No batteries needed in an automatic. I'm personally quite partial to the styling of the green version:

This Bernhard Globemaster is wicked. It's a shame it's out of production. (It would have been too expensive anyway)

This would pretty much the kind of watch I am searching for. I like the Nighthawk, But i feel like it's uselessly large because I don't need/care for the aviation/pilot stuff around the dial. I just saw the Atessa and it's something I would buy right away if it wasn't so expensive.

I tend to prefer an Automatic, but fear I will miss the alarm function of a digital watch. Not that I use it right now. AHHHH

so much choice !!!

I got the JDM Attesa and hopefully I can get a review done by early next week. It will make you feel like buying it more.

Very true. I always thought the Dievas watches were kinda cheesy looking, but that one is outstanding. Very, very nice choice my friend.

I like the Stowa Flieger a little better. Stowa has some very classic looking designs, but they are expensive. Airman Original - Stowa Uhren ab Werk bestellen und online kaufen The red color and the ribbed bezel makes the Dievas look a too contemporary for me.

EDIT: Also, you're gonna be waiting a long time for a Stowa Flieger too.

EDIT EDIT: I really really like the Stowa style, it is understated but very utilitarian. I think the Antea would make a great formal dress watch: http://www.german-watches.com/cgi-bi...showrub--antea

I didn't really have a budget and I pretty much just went for the Dievas because I preferred its looks. The Stowa does look really nice though, but I actually really liked the ribbed bezel because without it i think the watch looks simply too plain. I really like the bands they have on the Stowa watches though, might have to get similar ones!
