A perennial favorite of mine, high-function Casio ProTrek (formerly Pathfinder) watches are a must for anyone who does anything outdoors. Light, durable, and extremely reliable, these go anywhere, do anything watches are something you'll come to love if you don't already. I own a bunch of them and continue to lust for more.

It will take a while before I can buy another but it's got me thinking about a simple RG Calatrava 5527

A pic of my own personal grail...
I have been deleting pictures off my phone to make space, and I ran across this picture of a watch I looked at earlier this year. To me the 2499 will always be the holy grail of PP perpetual chronos. Such a timeless, classic design. Hope you guys enjoy the pic!
