Looking for a pilots watch to round out the collection. IWC is the obvious choice, but what are some other brands and models I might be overlooking? Will buy used, looking around $3k

I would check out Zenith - they make some good pilot watches and can be found used around 3-4k. Breitling Navitmer is another obvious choice. Can be found used in that 3-4k range as well.

The alternative is to save up for a Cartier Santos.. I know it’s outside your range but it’s the first pilot watch and I think every collection needs a Santos. You might be able to find used models in the 5k range

IWC wouldn’t be a bad place to end up again after considering alternatives

Sinn Navitimer. It’s around $4k new, but it’s great looking.

Hamilton and Breitling good options too (after IWC, of course)
