And important: Never buy a watch without trying it on first.

The bowl leader made a good point of how your first watch should be the best watch your budget can get and the most versatile ( can wear it at different occasions )

In addition to that, based on my personal opinion and experience, if you’re thinking of getting a watch which value doesn’t hold well, you should consider getting used watches.

What’s your budget? Your real budget, not what you tell yourself but what you’ll actually let yourself stretch to safely

I was thinking around10k?

I agree with PwC 1.
The list of the Bowl Leader is also a very solid starting point for your budget. With these 4 options per price point you can start exploring

Datejust 36

I thought the power reserve on DJ41 Ref126333 was about 70hours, but I noticed it’s about 40-48 hours on mine. Wear mine about every other day, but not on weekends and then Monday morning when I go to wear it, it’s dead and have to wind it. Anyone else seeing this?
