Lady here. I’m gifting myself a watch to celebrating getting elected to Managing Director! I currently wear a Datejust 31 (that I bought when I was promoted to manager 5 years ago). I’m considering a yachtmaster 37 in rose gold on the oysterflex band, JLC reverso duo face moonphase, or Bulgari serpenti. I know all have very different vibes. Thoughts? Or anything else I should consider? My budget is ~$20K

Congratulations OP! I love JLC but I'd go with the oyster flex personally, I think you'll wear it more than the reverso. Full disclosure I am male so that may bias my opinion

Thank you!

The reverso duo face is absolutely class

The oysterflex is kinda icky tbh

Really?? Surprised to see the oysterflex hate here. I think it’s fun and casual

Serpenti gets my vote - it's the most different from your current watch so I think it offers most utility. Other two being considered could be work in similar contexts and if there is one thing I've learned while building a collection - it's to make sure you can define when each watch gets wrist time otherwise decision paralysis and favorites/dust collectors become known

Yeah that's a beautiful piece of jewelry and I definitely don't think you'd struggle to decide that vs your Rolex for different events - would be clearly different outfits/vibes imo

Congrats on your promo! Personally, I think the serpenti is hot!

Thanks! I think the serpenti is super fun…I wear lots of jewelry so it could be an every day piece for me

I would definitely try each of those on in person before buying. They might not fit your wrist right or might end up being uncomfortable.

Sounds like you’re open to a metal; is that right? Anything else you want to have (eg a date) or want to avoid (eg >38mm)?

I have to agree with the JLC. It’s very classy in my opinion that works well with dressy or business casual. Congratulations on a huge career milestone! However, may I also suggest this beauty to celebrate the occasion… $23,100 retail. Slightly over budget, but you deserve it

JLC all the way. You're lucky to live in the US and be able to splash 20K on a watch for your promotion. I live in London and couldn't afford that kind of spend when I made partner ... ugh

Big fan of the yachtmaster, prefer white gold (male) but the rose gold is solid. Are you buying gray market?

How do you transport your watch while traveling when you’re not wearing it? Definitely don’t want it just floating free in a pocket of my bag but I don’t want to lug around a big hard case either.

$25k budget, build your best 3 watch collection. Thoughts?!

My initial hypothesis:
1) Omega Speedmaster Pro
2) Rolex GMT Master ii (batman, ideally)
3) IWC petite prince
