I presume u want a time only or time/date only watch
If u don’t mind Japanese, Seiko or Citizen plenty of choices
If u want Swiss, u can consider Longines, Mido, Rado, Tissot

Hi guys... New here. I've been wearing a sovil et Titus automatic watch (I know not in your league of brands) for more than 5 years and recently I've been asked me to consider upgrading for professional image... Also cause my current watch mechanism is a little faulty.

Current watch looks something like that: https://images.app.goo.gl/AL1AoHmKQCu64JcB7

I went watch shopping before ** and I couldn't find nice automatic watches for female.
Was wondering if you guys could recommend me? I probably looking at a budget of not more than $2k (is it possible? Of course I'd prefer if it's much cheaper like a few hundreds :s12:)

Thanks. :s12:

never really posted here or care about watches before, but just now see an ad look really interesting.

wooden watches from a brand call truwood

oh and in before slow

DSC_1012_HAWK_FRONT__NEW_EDIT_copy_1024x.jpg

do not buy truwood.

i bought it before. The strap broke within 5 wears on the wrist (office environment) (bought less than 1 month) and the company will NOT send you any replacement for the strap.

hard to find "aftermarket" watch strap because of the overall design..

novelty watches nia, see is nice but dont spend your money on it..

I wouldn't suggest ladies to wear an automatic watch. Too much of a hassle if the person is just treating it as a watch and has no interest in horology. Just wear a quartz, wear and forget

If you're female, I recommend add a couple of hundreds and get a pre-owned Cartier.


Although quick check Carousell there are some pre-owned Cartier less than $2000.
