Favorites were surprising:
1. Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra with a subtle blue face
2. Rolex Milgauss
Question: The Tourneau advisor helping me said that Rolex's steel is a much higher quality than of every other watch. Does this translate into something meaningful on the wrist?

Good start! It makes such a difference actually trying on the watch and feeling it on your wrist.
I don't think you could go wrong with either the Omega or the Rolex. Either one will fit the bill for a great all around watch. Make sure you check out the used market for both. You can save a pretty sizable amount of money. The Rolex will drop only so far and then it will hold its value.

Right now, this watch gets the most wrist time - Rolex GMT BLNR. Unfortunately, you're not going to find it in a case anywhere since they're a little hard to come by (I got mine from Benari Jewelers in Exton, PA. I'm a pretty good client and it was my third Rolex purchase). It's utterly perfect for everyday use with jeans or a suit.
