Looking for a classy watch for work/daily wear in the range of $1K-$3K. Currently have an entry level Seiko - looking for an upgrade before eventually getting an Omega or Rolex. Any suggestions?

For that money and style, check out the Longines Master Collection and some of their Heritage watches. Great build and movements.

If I were you I’d keep the Seiko until I can get an omega honestly. Buy pre owned

Came to say this. Save a little longer and up the budget a little - $5k goes a long way in the second hand omega market

Get a Seiko Alpinist, original if you can find it. I’ve had people take off their Rolex to try on my Alpinist, it’s a stunner.

Next level up, go for a Grand Seiko or an Omega - Aqua Terra is beautiful, classic, and understated. I also like the simplicity of a Rolex Explorer, but that’s getting into expensive territory.

In no order, some watches I like in that price range:
Nomos Club Campus
Oris Divers 65 and Big Crown (check out the new Bullseye)
Christopher Ward C1 Moonphase
Farer Roche II
Used Tudor BB 58
Used Grand Seiko SBGM221

Oris Aquis. Love mine, more than my Rolex.

I would wait until you can just buy the watch you want (the omega or Rolex you mentioned).
But I like Longines in that price point if you insist on buying something

Longines Hydro conquest
Longines Spirit Zulu time

Slightly lower
Hamilton Khaki
Hamilton Jazzmaster

You might be able to get a used Tudor Black Bay for that range

Not necessarily within this budget but look into Grand Seiko.

Go Tudor.

Citizen series 8 is worth checking out

Just got let go and my manager said part of it was because I was looking for other jobs. I didn't look for other jobs at work, so I'm not sure how they could have known that unless a coworker snitched on me. Is it worth it to try and find out who or should I just leave it? Can't deny that I'm seriously pissed off about it.
