Looking for a watch:>Preferred brand or manufactureA first world brand with history and no gay French name. No Rolex. Available new.>Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot, etc3 hands, so no Chronometer. Otherwise see desired features.>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand-wound, quartz, etcautomatic, as accurate as possible. At least COSC, but preferably better. No spring drive.>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, chronograph, etc50m+ water resistance. Rotating bezel, don't care if it's a diver, compass or tachymetre. Stainless steel body, sapphire crystal, good lume. Date would be a plus.>Preferred strap option, e.g. leather, nylon, bracelet, etcDon't care, will choose my own.>Wrist size or desired watch size6.5" wrist, <=42mm diameter watch>Your budgetAs low as possible with these requirements. Worthy enough to keep it and get it serviced.Preferably <$2k. Max $10k.The idea is to have a high quality, long-lasting, robust and precise daily driver.
>>18539291>6.5" wrist, <=42mm42mm is too big for you, 39mm should be your limit, sister.
>>18539291Have you considered a citizen from the Citizen:The Citizen lineup?
>>18539291You're describing a Black Bay 54 pretty much.
>>18539291>No Rolex.You barely had the budget for a Rolex anyways, but out of curiosity why "No Rolex"?
>>18539296I know, and I'd prefer 39mm or less. But I wore 42mm divers before and it was fine. And I feel like stating 39mm would disqualify lots of watches I might like if everything else matches.
>>18539297That's Quartz and they offer nothing with a rotating bezel.
>18539300I don't like what the name projects. I don't care about prestige at all and don't want to pay for it. And I'm not willing to beg and wait for a watch or pay a premium to some re-seller.
>>18539298Thanks, a lot! That one goes to the top of the shortlist.
>>18539258>Your budget€500>>Watch type, e.g. dress, diver, pilot, etcdress>>Movement, e.g. automatic, hand-wound, quartz, etcquartz>>Desired features, e.g. water resistance, day/date, chronograph, etcno stupid text like "water resistant" on the face>>Wrist size or desired watch size37-39 mm case
>>18539334Cartier Tank replica (it's quartz, so no problem servicing it)Frededrique Constant Moneta is out of your budget but around 800€ on chrono24Orient Bambino 38mm
>>18539341quartz, so no Orient Bambino
>>18539291Tudor Black Bay or Omega Seamaster. Pick your poison.
>>18539350grok is this real
>>18539350I have a hard time relaxing with my Rolex.I'm Rolex conscious when i wear it in public.
>>18539355As long as it's not a Daytona, no one in public is going to bat an eye.
>>18539351Sure. Rolex 6426. Back when the bottom of Rolex’s barrel was much lower. Hand-winding movement, no chronometer certification. Absolutely nothing.The 6694 was the same watch but it had a date.They’re great little starter watches for guys who have to have the Rolex name on their wrist but can really shell out more than 2k.
