What are everybody’s favorite models from 2025 for a birth watch? Idea would be to wear for now and give it to my son at a future milestone (inb4 Yes, he may not care for watches, in which case I’ll pivot to something else that he would find meaningful later)

Something classic that would patina nicely over the years. Modern ceramic bezels probably won’t work. I would be tempted to get a vintage sub or GMT from MY birth year and then give it to my son when he graduates college.

Budget ideally less than $10k, but would consider up to $15k

Reverso is always nice. They’re special

This. And get it engraved with his initials and/or the year

Not exactly “interesting” picks but subs / gmts and speedies fit this bill well. Classic models where the design language evolves very slowly that won’t look dated in 25 years (and will be just as popular then as now) that are easy for younger men to wear.

I was going to do this. But I had an interesting conversation with a watch collector the other day.

He said dont attach sentimental moments to watches. In case you one day need to liquidate your collection you wont feel awful getting rid of something that reminds you of the birth of a child or whatever.

Went in to check compare sizes for an Aqua Terra (green dial) but now torn between that and Moonwatch Sapphire (manual wind but the case in the back is just 😍)

Surprisingly the Moonwatch felt smaller (even though it’s 42mm vs 41mm Aqua terra) but I’m not sure about the manual wind tbh - worried I’d break it

This is going to be my main watch for the next 20+ years so I want to make sure I pick correctly!

What would you pick and why?

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.
