I am in Singapore right now and Patek dealers are every 100 yards. Would like to pick up some kind of watch before I leave, but not sure what. I am leaning towards the new IWC Aquatimer in a bracelet with silver dial. The reduced the size to 42 mm (non-chrono) which I think looks better than the previous model. I have plenty of time to shop around, but that is the one that's strikes my eye the most.

A friend wants me to buy him a Rolex Submariner with green dial. Best watch prices by far out here, especially on Rolex. He does not care about box or papers.

That's comes out to about $6800 USD for the green bezel Rolex. There's a new submariner model with a polished ceramic bezel that is really hot. I've seen a few people wearing them. Kind of like it better than the pepsi style one.

Looking for a steal on a Tag Heuer patriot. Anyone have any leads better than this?

Ok, so you just want a certain style of watch, the brand is secondary?

A PVD coated chrono with turning bezel? 45mm is pretty darn big and will date itself in a few years if you intend to keep it that long...

Its actually a friend that is looking for it and insists its a Tag Heuer Special Ops. Says it is issued to Seals, PJ's, and Rangers. I have never heard of it but it was quite a while ago that I was a PJ. The watch I had back then was a Timex.
