Hey fish - I’m looking for some suggestions on a watch as a retirement present for my dad. He had a Rolex submariner (oystersteel, black dial) which he loves and now looking for a dressier watch, blue or black dial with leather band. Price range is around 10-15k. All suggestions are appreciated!

Vacheron is great. Nice choice.

Second the JLC MUT Moon, I’d also consider a Glashuette Original PanoMaticLunar.

Love both the jlc’s, but to open up the case again, I recommend looking at the Patek Calatrava. I love the 5196 if you can get a hold of it, but it’s ~18k.

Own this exact model but switched the black band to the dark brown (just wanted to dress it down to not feel as “awkward” when I’m wearing it with anything less than a suit). Hard to tell in the pic the color but I just preferred the brown and can always switch back whenever I attend another black tie affair (in this current environment may be next to never🙃)

I hate that I’m saying this but I really just want a beautiful watch that is horologically great but just has one pusher that sends a signal to your phone to do one specific task. I can’t tell you how often I’m out and about and I would love to just press a pusher on the side of a Tudor or something and it can’t just tell my phone to Shazam a song or something. I don’t want a screen, I don’t want it to be complicated, I don’t want it to be noticeable. I don’t have the answer, just the desire
