Get him a Tag then there is zero risk he’ll successfully cheat.

I mean, he already has a Michael Kors watch 😬

This really just depends on your budget and what you’re willing/able to spend.
Under $1k, a tissot PRX can be nice, around $3k maybe a Cartier tank for something dressy, you can spend $60k on a platinum Rolex day-date or anything in between.

Give us some details to help you out:
What is your budget?
Does he already have a watch? If so what kind?
What does he wear to work? Suits or casual?
What kind of activities is he into?

+1 for Longines at that price point, some really nice options

Rolex oyster perpetual vintage
Simple clean and still luxury

For that pricepoint I’d suggest a nice Tissot PRX

Get a fake Rolex and buy yourself a handbag with the remaining budget

Finally got my hands on one. I was expecting it to feel much cheaper than it does. Definitely still get the quality feel that Swatch is known for. The weight is nothing like a real speedy, but still looks great imo. I went with the Mission to Pluto as I didn’t want one that looks too much like the real thing, and the Mars/Sun versions had the gauche white strap imo. Overall pleased for $260.
