I've got the Rolex Submariner - black face / stainless steel. A present from my father. The self-winders are not all they crack up to be. Mine loses about 2 minutes a month....

The best watch I've ever owned came from the Seiko outlet - paid $99 for an $800.00 watch - The Titanium Kinetic. It's self winding mechanism actually charges a capacitor, which powers the watch. That baby has been right on (time wise), is durable as hell (it's my everyday watch - and I go through watches like crazy), and is nice looking.

I, too (I'm sorry to say) am starting to have trouble seeing the watch face as well - even with my reading glasses...
