Used Omega Seamaster or Tudor BB might fit nice in his collection.

Thank you!

As others have mentioned, he’s got two very nice pieces that probably cover most situations. What about a vintage watch, like something from his birth year? That would make it special.

Vintage omega! They go between 1-3k i think

A diver or chrono will fit his collection nicely. Speedmaster, black bay, seamaster, Oris Aquis are just a a few good options under or around that price!

He has Rolex covered, so I’d consider an Omega Aqua Terra or Nomos Ahoi. If you can push the budget a Speedmaster moonwatch!

Both of his watches cost a lot more than $3K. Has he indicated an interest in a particular make/model? Are both watches steel, gold or something else?

It’s a beautifully simple watch

Thank you, everyone! I can definitely make one of these suggestions work.

I would hold off. It’s not like you guys are married

Def hold off on the boob job until you’re married tho

(And for anyone who missed that thread you should go search for it, it was amazing)

I think you should get him a nice dress watch - try looking at Cartier Tank or a pre-loved JLC reverso. They’ll add value to his collection, and he’ll love you for finding something a bit more unique compared to his collection

What’s the planned dress code at the wedding? If you’re doing formal, there are a ton of nice dress watch options in that range. He could wear his Datejust with a tux, people do, but tuxedos really deserve watches on nice leather straps.

I agree with the Cartier Tank. Beautiful watch that JFK wore too.
