I have always been a bag/purse lover. I'm the type who can have many many bags but stick to only 1 wallet and 1 watch. I'm lazy to switch wallets all the time and I have extremely skinny wrist, very bony-looking wrist, 
ush: so finding the right watch for my wrist is quite a challenge. So I tend to stick to my current (cheap) watch that I have been wearing for years.
Recently, I've been thinking of taking the plunge to buy a really nice watch since I will be wearing it for years. With my skinny wrist, I can't go for a really small watch, or it will make my wrist looks even skinnier. And of course I can't go for huge watches as the face of the watch would already be bigger than my wrist.
My current watch is medium sized with square face and metal strap (some leather straps make my super-sensitive skin itch and allergic 
).
I know nuts about watches, so would really need some recommendations. I prefer won't-go-wrong brands like Rolex, Omega, Cartier, etc but my current budget - $1000-1,200, may not allow me to buy from these brands. My second choice is perhaps Tag Heuer? Since I plan on sticking to 1 watch for years, I want it to be timeless, classic, durable and versatile.
So here's my questions:
1. What is the one watch that you will choose, if you can only have one to use for say, 10 years? Pix would be great!
2. What are the price of the entry-level watches for the brands I mentioned above?
3. Given my budget, would it be better to wait and save more, so that I don't have to buy another watch few years down the road, or get an entry-level watch and stick to it (as for now, I don't think I can spend more than $2,500 on a watch, even if I managed to save up that much, so my max would be $2,500)?
4. Is there like a great all-time classic, never-go-wrong kinda watch that is suitable for first-time buyers like me, almost like the LV mono speedy 30, watch-version? Lol...
Thanks everyone, and sorry for the long post!
