Pre-owned Reverso ……………… an iconic watch, by a historically significant watch company.

I like the Reverso suggestion. Or Master Ultra Thin. Very different than Rolex. The Glasshutte PanoMLunar fascinates me as a Lange 1 sub. Lange 1 is outta my price range.

Cartier Calibre de Cartier ~50% off
GS snowflake or one of the other colors ~30-40% off Zenith el primero 30% off All great options, i always look for a full set that was previously purchased from AD and the owner only wore it few times, and grab it at a crazy discount. |

Ahh yes, very true!
There's also this if you don't need waterproofness for swimming, which i'm wearing right now.

The Speedy, but not the gold versions, which are massively overpriced if you get them RRP

Tudor. Great value for the money and they have a variety of styles to fit your taste. They are also accessible.

The Cartier Santos is a great value - in house movement, more antimagnetic than a Rolex Milgauss, water resistant to 100m, the Quickswitch bracelet system, makes it super easier to switch between its metal bracelet and a variety of straps, making it incredibly versatile. the curved case and lugs make it incredibly comfortable to wear. It's also a classic design that never goes out of style.
I love the JLC Reverso, but the prices have jumped drastically in the last 2 years with no actual improvements, merely because they can! It has a nice movement, but you can't swim with it, it's not antimagnetic, and for some people the flat back of the watch keeps it from sitting comfortably on the wrist (depends on your wrist size and shape). It's definitely a watch you need to try on to see if it fits comfortably. Wishing you luck with whatever you decide. |

Check out a Nomos Tangente. Very nice, and reasonably priced. It is manufactured in Glashutte.

Recently picked up a Habring2. Somewhat lesser known brand that punches above its weight.

Tudor Black Bay with ETA movements, especially 79220N, less than a year in production.
Tudor Black Bay Bronze 79250BM, GPHG “Petite Aiguille” in 2016 or 2017, discontinuited less than 2 years later. Many Moser watches. Some Vacheron watches. Breguet, but they will stay that way. |
