just curious, did you guys sell your first luxury watch or keep it for sentiment reasons?

im thinking of maybe selling my SARW019 to fund a Tudor or Orient Star...additional top up will be from 13th month bonus :o

Hi bros! Plan to get my first watch, plan to save up for the Tudor Black Bay... Or any bros want to talk me into getting rolex instead? Anyway... Any stores to recommend for getting Tudor Black Bay at the lowest price? Roughly how much will it be? Preferred a local stores. Many thanks!!!

Enjoy the whole watch shopping experience :)
walking from shop to shop, trying on several different watches in leather straps, rubber, SS bracelet
looking at the same watch from 101 different possible angles, upclose, from afar :)

Whether it's tudor or rolex or any other watch, most important is You.

You must like the feeling of that watch around your wrist. it must feel comfortable.

Looks weird on your wrist.

It lasted 9 years even with you using the backlight function from time to time?

this is da bomb.
panda and got feel to the rolex 6263 (at 1/6 of the price, similar movement i supposed. the valjoux)
this is gonna cost me 10 grand man.

let me slowly dig and snag a good deal if i ever see one in the wild

This vintage heuer is rather rare in local. Market. May need to source for other sources like ebay or hodinkee

Need to top up for Orient Star meh? Which one you thinking of getting?

Tired of your watch for some reason? It's a perfectly good one!

Hello!

My partner's birthday is coming up and I was thinking of getting him a watch. Last year, I read through this thread and decided on the Tissot Visodate (Thanks!!).

Not sure what to get this year? Seems like there's a lot of buzz on Steinhart/Seiko but I don't think he will like it. My budget is about $2.5K? Hope anyone here can throw me some watch brands so I can check it out? What would you like to receive? He doesn't dress in office wear, mostly in casual shirts and jeans if that's any help? Thank you!!

Think Tudor and Nomos doable if you top up budget abit (I stand corrected as I am not that familiar with the prices these days)

He already got a dressy one in the Visodate. So why not consider something more rugged, like a diver's watch/sporty ranges?

TBH Seiko/Steinhart/Squale/Citizen/Oris has quite a range, so you may wanna take a quick look at some of their offerings? Or can look for something pre-owned (though not advisable if you are not too familiar w watches?) If I had $2.5K to spend on a watch, I would probably get:

1) pre-owned Omega 2254
2) Oris 65 + change of $1K to spare (maybe whack another Steinhart, more is better, no?)
