Thanks. I am looking at, if necessary, spending up to £800 ($1500) on a:
not necessarily new
automatic
chronometer
Omega - obviously
(definately not quartz but the chronometer aspect is negotiable!).

And I would really love a chronograph but as I said the only one's I can find are either V expensive or hugely bulky. I like a larger watch (around 40mm diameter) but not one that builds up my biceps every time I lift my arm! - even though they are great watches, ofcourse.

I wonder if anyone knows of a model I haven't found yet that fits the bill?

Thanks very much.
