I would go for the Exp II. I'm ok with going for something out of the ordinary but square or rectangular watches don't do it for me.

Aside from that, they are all incredibly different; a square chrono, a rectangular dress and an SS sports Rolex. Wow, what a mixture.

Since you asked for any suggestions, Grand Seiko GMT.

EDIT: Govberg has a pre-owned High Beat GMT within your budget. https://www.govbergwatches.com/shop/...t-gmt-sbgj011/

I'd go for the Explorer or possibly as my friend Abdullah said maybe take a look at a Grand Seiko, nice under the radar watches.

Before opening the thread I read your name and thought of the monaco immediately. Maybe even an Omega speedmaster. The black dial explorer is kinda boring and your stainless steel Cartier should be fine for dress situations. If you wanted a gold one I'd just upgrade the SS

The GS GMT is a great choice, if not I would go with the Exp 2.
