Not exactly considered a luxury watch, but I’m beginning my watch collection and this is my first professional daily wear as a fresh grad. Any tips on lower end luxury models to start adding to the collection?

Depends what kind of a look you’re going for. If an everyday all-rounder, hard to beat the Omega Aqua Terra for under $5k.

It’s not always the luxury ones that get you in to the hobby. Hamilton, Tissot, Sinn and Tag should provide you a lot of options around the $1k range and below.

Buy what you like

Don't forget seiko, casio, and orient

Tissot, Hamilton are great places to start

Hamilton or Seiko, possibly Nomos or Oris if you stretch up to $2k. Add in microbrands like Zelos or Halios and you’ve got plenty of great watches to choose from.

I too started with Victorinox. Great value for a robust and well designed Watch.

At one point the majority of my collection looked like this (whole top row and bottom 2 on the right are all Victorinox). Tudor, IWC, Omega, and Nomos were my next stops. At this point I had also already splurged on my Batman.

Strongly recommend either the omega aqua terra or omega Seamaster 300M. You could also look at Nomos if you like that aesthetic. Grand Seiko has some good stuff in that range too; but IMO the good stuff is more expensive

Lately I’ve really been feelin the SM300… I’ve decided there really is no better value in the sub-$5kish range, this thing is so sporty yet slick and I’d say technically at least equivalent to the submariner.

Can’t wait to buy one the white one come bonus szn

To clarify - budget extends up to around 5k or so just want to do research on good watches before deciding!

Grand seiko, oris, nomos, tudor

Tons of value at sub-1k and even sub-500. Microbrands are a thing of beauty and can scratch an itch if funds are tight.

less than 5k; Seiko spb143, tudor black bay 58 or gmt, longines big eye or legend diver, oris 65

What price range are you looking at I started my collection 2 years ago and buy my watches around 500 my favorites have been melbourne and pure dial for professional wear

For you experts... I’m a first-timer (pun!) buying lux watches. I’m looking at an updated model of a JSC (geographic), to be released sometime Q4 this year. MSRP is 12k few questions:
1) what is realistic price ballpark from an AD (I’m not in a hurry)
2) any advice for reaching out to ADs, especially given this isn’t yet released? I.e., any common mistakes to avoid?
3) MSRP includes leather strap, and looking at current model prices, metal strap adds ~2k to price. Sound right?

Thank you all!
