What “new” (or revived) watch brands are worth looking at? I’m thinking brands like Weiss and RGM in the $500-$2500 range. What else is out there?

I've always liked Fortis. Not a new brand but they went through a rough patch in the last decade and are now coming back and trying to revive the brand. They just released this new Triple GMT which is more than your price range, but the majority of their offerings are around $1500-2500. The brand has a lot of neat history, as they supplied the official watches for Russian Cosmonauts.

The Yema revival has produced some nice-looking watches

You can get a Yema Superman II Maxi Dial for like $550 right now on their website, fully in house movement and all. Only a few left right now though

Revival of the Smiths W-10 is pretty killer and at the low end of your range. It was originally re-released with fixed bars and a 19mm lug width. I have that version and those are my only two complaints. It has since been updated with spring bars and 18mm lug width so really opens up your options to play with straps.

I'm liking Farer- beautiful and modern dials. Monta, Baltic, and Formex all seem to be towards the top end of the microbrand spectrum and really nice.

I’d look at the Monta Noble.

As a sometimes-poster of my watches let me introduce you to a new brand and acquisition called "AERONOM" from Germany.

Saw it as a recommendation and was intrigued and have it now.

Here some details:
- Automatic Movement
- Caliber 8217 with 42 hrs Power reserve
- 41,5 mm dial in a 46 mm case of stainless steel
- date window at 3 o'clock
- black diamond at 12 o'clock
- 24 hrs indicator at 9 o'clock

It's one of 200 produced and even though it's heavy and a 46 mm case is big but nice to wear

Mid-20s M looking to purchase first nice watch. Choosing between the Panerai Luminor 722 and Omega Seamaster Diver 300m for something of a versatile daily use watch. Both look amazing in their own way; the Omega’s colors are rich and the wave detailing is amazing, while the Panerai’s clean style and unique shape is also appealing. I’d get aftermarket leather / rubber straps for either for versatility. Excluding price as a factor, what are your opinions on which to get?
