The dude offered to leave a "pilots" watch under the tree for me!

But need to know what would be most suitable!

Depends on how rich your "dude" is, but such a watch doesn't have to
cost a lot of bucks. I bought myself a Pulsar--cheap version of the
Seiko-- for a measly $63 from Heartland, and it keeps almost perfect
time. Gains two or three seconds a month.

Only thing I don't like: It has a red sweep second hand and a black
face, and the contrast isn't great enough in some light conditions.
Don't get that color combination.
