If you like Rollie's, try something on a rubber strap, RG yachtmaster or something. As a summer watch I like the AP ROO Panda on a white rubber strap, but too big for my wrist. I'm thinking of going for a RG aquanaut, looks classy on a brown perlon strap!

Maybe a 16750 pepsi is a good summer look.

When I think "summer watch", I think the beach and wearing it in the water. In that's your idea, I'd forgo a rep and get a good Seiko or Orient dive watch. They're as cheap (if not cheaper) than many of the reps others have listed plus you don't have to worry if they will survive going into the water. You can get them with orange dials, yellow, and blue/red bezels. And they look great on a colorful NATO strap.

Summer watch? What about a Helix Typhoon?

 

The poor man's Omega X-33.

Prolly 50 bucks or so.

 

Admittedly not available on a rag....

My 42mm Breitling SO Abyss gets worn almost everyday during the summer. I chose black, but they come in several colors as well.

Got a great longines hydro conquest for sale at the minute, blue dial pops in the sunshine and on either of the natos that come with it, it makes for a lovely summer watch.

Ps I'm also in Nottinghamshire so you could have it on your wrist in the morning......lol

A ProHunter Batman GMT 2 on NATO is my favorite summer one, together with the Seiko Pepsi.

And actually the one I got more compliments from women due to the nice color combination :)
