help me choose a watch please :)

ok so I'm going to be buying myself a watch, I've done hours and hours of research and have narrowed it down to these:

From Raymond Weil:

From Oris:

1.

3

From Longines:

Things I am considers:
looks obviously and also "brand prestige".

What do you guys think of RW Vs Oris Vs Longines?

Cheers

My vote would be for the Longines, they are very well made.

Oris makes nice and durable pieces. Out of the choices you indicated, I would vote for the Longines. Looks very classy.

Have you checked out the Longines Masterpiece Annual Calendar Moonphase Chronograph? It's about the same price as the one you listed, but is much more complicated and almost a steal for a watch with that many complications.
