You could probably find some Seikos between 100 and 150. Very reputable brand.

That's a cheap price. They are more expensive now. The current MSRP is about $35k.

A few on rotation. Ugh, taking close-up pics always makes them look ginormous on my wrist.

I considered buying a royal oak offshore before ultimately deciding to go with a Portuguese instead. I really love that watch, but just thought I should go with something that will be more timeless and I didn't know whether or not that audemar necessarily fell under that category. hopefully I can still pick one up at some point in the future.

Nice Audemars'! I'd be curious on how they asssemble those, with the hexagon screws.

The screws are actually tightened from the inside or the reverse side, think of a screw and bolt where the bolt is the one being turned.
APROO is pretty classic and at this point, has become as classic as the Sub or Planet Ocean. If you like the overall design/style (I was never the biggest fan) then I think you will be happy with it for years and decades to come.
I don't know if you remember but I am in the market for an all black watch, when I saw this one and felt the comfort on wrist I am really considering this over the all black Tag Heuer Aquaracer
It is the Raymond Weil Freelancer
That is one of the nicest Raymon Weil watches I have seen, not in person but in pics. Without actually handling it in person, I can't really tell you how it feels and overall quality of the case, band, material, PVD, etc... For more information or a hands-on look in the watch, read up here: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/hands-...-freelancer-urban-black-chronograph-live-pics
As for Raymond Weil brand, I say it is probably right there with Tag Heuer, maybe slight below. Personally I have about 4-5 tiers of watches.
Tier 1 being the highest which includes Patek, VC, Lange, JLC, etc...
Mostly watchmakers that has an in-house movement for almost all their watches and each watch are handmade.
Tier 2 being Omega, Rolex, Zenith, Breitling, IWC, etc..
Tier 3 being Tag Heuer, Baume Mercier, Longines, etc...
Tier 4 being Hamilton, Oris, etc...
Tier 5 being Seiko, Citizen, etc... mall brands.
Now that isn't concrete for me as some brands have higher end watches as well as lower end which can go up a tier or down a tier. I'd say Raymond Weil is tier 3 with Tag but some of their lower end watches is probably on my tier 4.

Probably one of the best (if not the best?) Baume & Mercier watches I have seen, probably because it has a very IWC Portuguese Hand-Wound look to it.

42mm

yeah that's what my bet would have been, really nice touch. I'd love to view an assembly process live. Must be amazing, the amount of precision is just mind blowing.

The bolt or nut is actually a long tube where the screw tightens and it hold the whole case together.

LOL. I just started doing some window shopping and right now the Explorer 1 39mm seems to be the front-runner.

Pics doesn't even do this watch justice, you see it in person and you will fall in-love.

I'll have to go to the local AD and try it on. Curious to see how it wears compared to the 41mm DJ2. A homie has a Presidential and it just seems like it's too big for everyday wear.
It's weird because I'm a guy who was rocking a Super Avenger a couple of years ago and now 41mm is almost too big for me.

I'm on the same boat with you, even the 40mm Portoguese Chrono seems a bit big on my wrist but the 39mm Explorer seemed perfectly fine, my IWC Spitfire is actually 39mm and my brother says it's too small on my wrist. 
If the 39mm is too big, check out the older 36mm.

Thoughts on this pilot watch? I'm interested but may be afraid that 47mm may be too big for an everyday watch. Also thoughts on the rose gold being used for an everyday watch?
