After 10 years of ownership I've decided to list my 1993 Rolex Explorer 2 white face watch for sale on Ebay

I listed it as an auction starting at .99p no reserve, it ends tomorrow and it's up to over £2,300 with 73 poeple watching it

Because new Rolex's have more than doubled in price since 2005 when I bought it second hand for £1700, second hand prices also seem to have doubled

I do really like the watch but with my reading eyesight fading fast and because it no longer has any lume on the hands or dials, it is hardly a 'tool watch' anymore to me

Plus to have somthing so valuable on my wrist just getting banged and scraped messing with the Morgan, I'm thinking I could use the funds for other things

I have two other watches, a vintage gold Longines dress watch and a 12 year old Zenith Elite Hand Wound in 18 ct gold with an rather nice alligator strap both of which again are too nice to wear on a daily basis as I'm always tinkering with something and they are just going to get ruined

I banged the Longines this afternoon trying to tuck the tonneau cover under the hood on the Morgan which made me think how vulnerable they are

So I need to get a stainless steel watch that I can wear all the time but as I'm a fussy chap it has to fulfill all of these criteria

1. Stainless steel
2. Has to have some sort of vintage style about it - no modern monstrosities
3. No date or complications - as I couldn't read them without my glasses on
4. Has to have a strong nighttime luminosity - superluminova or new tritium tubes
5. Mechanical not Quartz - only because I'm a bit of a watch snob and I like things mechanical and will happily suffer poor timekeeping rather then have a Quartz watch movement which can cost as little as 10 pence to make
6. Not so expensive that I have to fork out a small fortune
7. Morgan friendly so that it isn't going to get ruined every time I have to sort the hood or tonneau cover or some other piece of regular fiddling that all us Morgan owners have to do - I don't want to have to take the watch off every time

As I know many of you are watch buffs

Any ideas chaps?
