Have a Bday coming up & am not looking to break the bank

I already have funds put aside for a BLRO or CHNR TT, which ever call comes in first.
Any suggestions for a watch under 4K.
However I do have a Bday coming up in a few weeks and would like to treat my self to a new watch. I’ve got my eye on the Tudor BB 41. Any one here have this watch? what are your thoughts on it. It’s been really growing on me! Thanks for the input.Name:  719E0656-19E8-4A44-895A-28737432EDCB.jpeg

Depends on what is already in your collection. I was in a similar situation for my 40th birthday in May and bought a BB GMT. This was based on my budget and travel requirements. It also depends on what you wants; dress, sport, travel, something else.

For this price point I would also suggest NOMOS.

If you have money for a CHNR + $4k for whatever you think you may buy today, just get a CHNR. The grey prices aren’t that much more than retail + tax and you get something way more special than some $3k turd.

Grey’s are asking 18.5 for unworn CHNR. I figure I
Could get 2 watches for 18.5. CHNR MSRP + a lesser piece.

Based on your posts I see you’re referring to the TT CHNR. Let me tell ya, save the 4K, add it to your current TT CHNR/BLRO budget, double that, and get a full RG CHNR!

If you’re adamant about buying an <4K watch though, I really like some of the Sinn pilot watches.

“Double that”

Actually I can sell my black 116500 and use the funds for the CHNR + lesser piece for the RG CHNR but I’m not sure I want to do that.

Check out trusted sellers on the Omega forum. You can provide get a brand new Speedmaster for around 4K. Definitely the FOIS.

I've recently been in exactly your position. I picked up a CHNR from my AD last week.

I chose an Omega Seamaster 300M. Use this as my "daily" whilst using the CHNR when I want to dress it up a little. They even threw in an additional rubber strap for the Seamaster, which provides another alternative look compared to the CHNR.
