Looking to purchase a watch for around 8k for myself. Currently looking at these 4 primarily but can’t decide. I am open to suggestion for other watches around 8k or below. Please let me know if any of these watches should be avoided for a specific reason. I am not really looking g to resell the watch later on so price retention or premium isn’t a concern for me. Thank you.
My personal taste is Cartier> Omega > Breitling > Tag.
I have the blue version of the Cartier. Only buy it if you are ok with scratches on the bezel. If you expect it to stay perfect it’s not the watch for you.
I have had an Omega Seamaster. It was an amazing watch but I ended up selling it to pick up a Submariner because to me the Sub is the epitome of a dive watch.
I have never owned a Breitling but was always intrigued by the Navitimer and like their current lineup, especially the Pistachio dials.
I used to own an older Tag but I passed it on to my son as it has a more youthful aesthetic imo.
All of the pieces on your short list are great watches though. You can’t go wrong imo.
I second this order.
Ive seen folks getting the bezel brushed to remove that scratched up issue on the mirror polish.
