Building a 2-Watch Collection...

My criteria:

1. Preferably not Rolex or Omega
2. In-house movement
3. Steel bracelet (but looks good in leather/rubber)
4. Predominantly brushed finish
5. Holds value
6. +-$7,500 (new or 2nd hand)

So far, I've been looking at Calibre de Cartier with black dial and Panerai PAM

it's a stretch, but what about a used royal oak 15300. Does it have to be a birth year watch? It ticks all the boxes. If you buy used it will hold value and maybe appreciate

Awesome watch. But that will definitely cost more than my budget.

Actually had a chance to get that but upon trying one, I found it to be more formal and serious looking, so I decided on the YM. In the future, I do plan to revisit the 15300.

Check out the Glashutte Original Senetor Seventies, a great looking watch in my opinion.

Is that the rectangular looking one?

I do like the one where the dial is sort of off-centered, with a big date on the 4 o'clock. Very classy looking watch.

GP is alright. Not so expensive. They just don't sing to me though.

Used IWC Portugese 7 day. Easy choice for me.

The UN Maxi Diver I also really like and can be had for half msrp and talking about a nice watch.

Cool watch! Very different look.
