Brand new and know nothing about watches-Need suggestions for my husband

[daytonadragon]

I would avoid gold/mixed metal subs as the gold plating will eventually wear. You can't go wrong with this:

ROLSUB0236 -Submariner 116610LV 904L SS/SS Green ARF Ult A2824 [ROLSUB0236] - $478.00 : Trusty Time Online Store, Your Trusty Watch Shop

Whatever you decide on, post the QC pictures in the QC section so we can make sure there are no obvious flaws.

Well said.
