Just accepted a new job offer and looking to treat myself with a new watch. Any recommendations? Some info below.

Current daily wear: Tudor Black Bay Pro
Goal: something fun, brighter than my BBP & not too expensive. Thinking microbrand route.
Budget: ideally >2k but flexible for the right watch
Current considerations: Formex essense, Farer Perlarum, Earthen Co Summit Whiteout, Bravur Team Heritage Peu

If something dressy - the Nomos Tangente line is probably a good choice given their unique design and color ways.

If something closer to a diver, then Oris is a good option too. I personally like Zodiac given its history and there’s always Christopher Ward too

1000% agree with all of these

I'd have this for under 2k.

IMO, save you money and get that $10k watch. I subscribe to the 1 nice watch versus 4 "beater" watches

I can afford a pricier watch right now but it doesn’t interest me for this go around. My next watch I want something that I can wear and not feel flashy, but that I also like and is a bit more personable. I work in a high paying industry but outside of work most of my social circle doesn’t.

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?
