Hi, I'm new to the forum and just starting to become a watch enthusiast. I've always bought Citizen watches, but have decided to start my new found love of watches by moving into higher end watches. To start, I'm looking for an automatic sports watch with a rubber strap under $1500. I've had a difficult time finding one that I really like and meets my style--sporty, but can wear with business attire if necessary. One of the watches I found that I really like in terms of general looks is the Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Patrol Auto Chrono Men's Automatic Watch seen here:
By question is, since this is an aviator watch and I'm not a pilot or an aviator enthusiast, am I'm going to be lame by wearing this watch? Or, is it perfectly fine to add this to my new collection because it's just a great watch? Are most people that buy aviator watches either pilots or into flying? Curious what others think. The other watch I'm looking at is either the Longines Hydroconquest (rubber strap) or the Oris Dive watch 43mm.
Thanks!
