Hi ladies! I’ve been using the same perfume for 10 years now and looking for a new go-to scent. Im looking for recommendations to try. What are your favorites? A lot of scents give me headaches, so nothing too strong and nothing too floral please. TIA!

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
