First Watch - Tudor BBN In-House

Hi All! Due to changing out from another hobby and some very enthusiastic friends, I've been lurking for the last 2 months to get into watches. Tried to start conservative with a max budget of $500, then $800, then $1000, then $1500 -- the more I read, the worse it got!

After trying on several Seikos at a local department store to get a feel for size and style, and I realized I would be unhappy going through starter watches and having to upgrade.

Thanks all for the great forum and load of information. Already considering my 2nd watch need and looking forward to when I'm ready to pull the trigger on a Rolex!

In case a newcomer like me can help anyone, that's a Corsair MM300 extended mouse pad (36" wide x 12" tall) in the pic. I've been using that product for quite a while and can already tell it will serve perfectly to help desk diving scratches.
