Buying a new watch; which brand(s) do you recommend?

[IndyCovaHart]

I didnt even read the original post, looks like TS just wants a status symbol.

9/10 people are only concerned with status symbols whether it’s Air Jordans on welfare or Tag Heuer on food stamps.

A gold plated turd is still a turd and the subterfuge won’t last long.

I think the Planet Ocean seamaster is my favorite watch around $5k or below.

That planet ocean is really thick, though.

If you want a more minimalist look with a smaller dial I like the Nomos Glashutte

In-house movement and awesome service. Great watch, wear it all the time.

You can buy directly from them and they'll include duty in the price.

Some great recommendations in this thread TS.

I've always been a TAG guy and am wearing one now but the quality recently has fallen so far I would strongly suggest you go with something else. They are coasting on their name and using junk chinese parts inside and they do not stand behind their warranties. I detailed my issues and that of so many other TAG owners in another thread and if you need that info I can look it up or summarize again for you.

Tudor and Rolex at that price range. Perhaps some Omegas.

114300 is a value proposition given the price of sports model Rolex. The new 39mm Black bay is a future classic in re Tudor.

 

[Supereem]

Rolex 114300 Oyster Perpetual. $5200.00

Omega Planet Ocean 600M Master Chronometer 39.5 $5200.00

Very similar suggestions to mine.

are you 70?

Hey hey,


Criteria:

• Price range: $1000 - $5000
• Good for small/thin wrists
• Classy styling
• Good for business or business casual wear (so no G shocks, etc)
• A brand that is recognizable as valuable

So, what brands do you suggest I look at?

Shield is what I wear to work. They're like $1000 watches (some of them) and I feel comfortable wearing it at my second job as a bouncer because it doesn't LOOK like a $1000 watch.

My dad's old Rolex he gave me as a graduation gift I'd only ever wear to my Courthouse job but not my bouncer job.

I've been putzing around trying to make up my mind on a watch and right now I'm leaning towards:

I'm not if I'll always like the Batman, though. I'm also considering going conservative and just getting a black sub.

 

[boingyman]

I would get a used Rolex Explorer I

 

[DragRacer]

I agree with a lot of the Rolex recommendations here especially if you have little wrists. A used submariner will hold its value for you and fit nicely.

 

[TidWell]

Get a Swatch

I think the Planet Ocean seamaster is my favorite watch around $5k or below.

I have the titanium Planet Ocean (42 mm) with blue dial.

It's probably my favorite in my collection.

 

[DragRacer]

Don’t do that.

Get a Swatch

 

[TidWell]

Don’t do that.

Why not?

 

[JAEGERX]

Casio crew checkin in.

G-Shock unit bruh

belie dat

Exactly, G-Shock, its awesome and i will keep running long after we are all dead

 

[DragRacer]

Nothing at all, if you’ve also got some velcro Keds and jean shorts to go with it.

Why not?

 

[JAEGERX]

Get a timex Ironman watch with one of those sweet Velcro bands.
