IWC vs omega? Budget ~ $10k. Something fashionable I can also put on at a client site. Upgrading from a tissot so not much of an aficionado and first ‘big’ watch purchase 🙏

I think both have a strong value proposition. I think IWC has better choices for dress and pilots watches, while Omega performs better on dive watches and chronographs (Speedmaster!). If you want to be safe, I would recommend starting with a Speedy—especially the moon watch with the new handwound Calibre!

Second this. Could not have been stated better.

You’ll find beautiful watches fitting your brief with both companies, so it’s really about personal preference. I’m personally more of an Omega fan, there’s some people on here who have absolutely gorgeous Aquaterras, IMO that’s one option for a perfect everyday watch, works great both with a suit and in a more casual outfit. Don’t rush, enjoy the shopping process and please post a picture when you buy the watch!

Check out JLC for another strong contender for dress watches in your price range. Grand Seiko is also a good option - both are similarly under the radar.

What do you normally wear to work? I think your daily attire heavily influences the brand and watch you choose. If you're wearing suits and ties (i.e. more formal attire) IWC has better options that fit your style. If you're wearing more business casual attire, Omega may be a better bet. Either way, neither of these brands are in "high demand" and you should be able to obtain decent discounts, so shop around. I recommend going to different stores and trying on the watches to see what fits your style, look, and most importantly wrist best.

Can’t go wrong with a speedmaster. Everyone should own one at some point. Go with the original

Take your time with this decision and find something you really love. Omega Aqua Terra is a great and versatile choice, as is an IWC Portugueser. Like some others mention there are other great options at those price points like JLC and Zenith.
It doesn’t matter what others think as long as it’s something that really speaks to you.

Rolex is also in your price range for a few models if you are going tp use all your budget

Nothing wrong with a Tissot

I would say is for omega, I’d consider used, hefty depreciation. Bought my speedie secondhand for ~$3k, and it was essentially brand new. Portuguese Chrono seems to settle around $5k used.

With a 10K budget you could get the iconic IWC Big Pilot. In the Omega I like Globemaster

Omega rail master or IWC pilot chronograph if you want leather strap. If you want bracelet then I agree you won’t go wrong with a seamaster.

I’d rather buy a JLC in that price range. The “watchmakers’ watchmaker”

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
