Pelagos would be my choice

Best movement of the lot would be in the Aqua Terra with a Master Chronometer

Thanks folks.
Appreciate the comments.
Rolex is a no BS non-flashy option.
Aqua Terra looks amazing on the wrist esp with the rubber band.
And tudor pelagos has an amazing blue dial!
Leaning towards the explorer at the moment though!

Sub is a different beast altogether in every possible way. So, I’ll ignore that for now.

The explorer is gorgeous and I’d pick that if leaning towards something more conservative.

If you’re looking to go sporty, I’d look between Tudor Pelagos and Tudor GMT Pepsi. Pepsi will look nicer than the Pelagos although Pelagos has a more recent movement with 70 hr power reserve.

The Explorer, through and through. The others are all nice options, but the Explorer is such a perfect watch.

Explorer is a great watch to go anywhere and do anything

Easy one - Rolex explorer. Now you might want to do some research on which model

Couldn’t resist..
Went with the SS..
Luckily the AD liked the graduation story and got me one in a week to wear it to my graduation..
Thanks again for the suggestions..

Nice! Sub is always a classic. Richard Hammond wore a T-Touch on one of the top gear trips, too

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced.

Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?

Noob question. Do luxury watches decrease in value when bands are switched, even if the new band from the same manufacturer and is changed at an authorized dealer? I’m specifically thinking of changing an omega speed master bracelet to a leather band
