Hello Friends and Fellow Watch Enthusiasts,

I have been a long time reader but rare poster on this forum. I want to thank you for the insight that I have gained and appreciate the enthusiasm we share.

I was wondering if you could help me out.

I am in search of a new watch in the 3-5K range (US) and wanted to know what you would suggest based on the following criteria:

I would like a watch with:
Dial - White- / Silver-faced dial on a leather strap
Size - 38-42 mm range (as I have a 6.5-inch wrist)
Movement - preferably automatic, but intrigued by manual winding – doesn’t have to be an in-house movement
Complications – date, at least

Again in the $3000-5000 range.

I have come up with several watches, so far but would like more choices:
IWC – Portofino Automatic
IWC – Portofino Chrono
IWC – Portuguese Chrono – rarely available in the price range

Nomos – Zurich Datum
Nomos – Orion Datum

I am seeking your input for other suggestions of watches.

Suggestions, opinions and pictures are always welcome.

Thank you and have an excellent day.

Hi dan, and welcome! Here are some in that price range that IMO looks great

Take a look and she if you are interested and check them out. All the images are borrowed from the net. But I do own the Oris

I love IWC
I have a RG Chrono and a SS Blue Hands silver dial 7 day.

If you can wait and save up I think IWC is GREAT!

JLC is another good option if you like their designs. A little too grown up for me.
