What is conti watch?
Lol
Hi all I been thinking of buying a conti watch . My current watch is Elleese which I have worn everyday for more than a decade as a gift to me by my gf and now wife with 2 kids. Any expert would advise me on what to do for my first purchase of conti watch ?
My budget is 10-15K .
Prefer partial skeleton watch . Full also no problem .
Date complication without adjustment . Adjust only at Feb . I know perpetual complications are out of my league .
Ceramic / titanium strap . I can compromise for rubber or leather if I really like the watch . And possible to change leather strap to ceramic ?
My lifestyle : work in warehouse . Lift heavy boxes and pack item for customers . BBFA , rarely have any social gatherings and even lesser now due to Covid. My dress Code are typical rugged. Eg Liverpool Jersey and jeans . Normal dark colored shoes . Sometimes slippers go out for grocery .
I’m not a reseller / flip . Will keep the watch .
Preferably first hand . I a bit scare of pre own / PI .
Next question : I google some where to buy . I personally visited MBS , PP,RD (damn I love their skeleton but cost arms and legs) and those specialist Bonti are out of my league .
Next would be the hourglass. I seen a lot of good reviews about them . Anyone been there ? There are also some chrono , watchbox etc but I’m not sure how trusted are there . In my cars , I been dealing with AD as I have heard nightmares about PI .
Servicing after sales service . What can I do to maintain the watch ?
Any expert can kindly weight in ? Appreciate your time and thoughts

"Adjust in Feb only" can be an annual calendar.Date only adjust in February? Sorry thats is perpetual
Just adjust once a mth cannot?
Skeleton easy to find, zenith maybe defy range. Chronoswiss Opus is a good one too. Oris has something too. All watches generally low resale value with a handful of brands.

Thanks everyone for the suggestion ! I should says luxury Swiss watches lol. Bring car term over here is my bad .
Let’s says I can do without skeleton, what are the brands I can go for ? I know Rolex / Omega is never go wrong but I decided to go for other brands .
I would want someone to notice my watch and be a “conversation starter “ for any social gathering if there are any .
Any recommendation on where to make my purchases ?
I seen Edmw lots of Bbfa terms lol so just use it .
