[Question] nice looking watches under $6,000 CAD (alien.top)

My in laws want to get me a watch as a gift under $6,000. I like the look/proportions of the Rolex Submariner. Are there other watches which have similar look/proportions that are within the budget?

I wear watches for their appearance, I'm not into all the technicalities of the movement and other fine details.

Also, are there good trusted second hand websites so that I don't take a depreciation hit on the watch if I don't have to.

If you like the black sub, then a Tag Heuer Aquaracer 300m looks closest to it. It‘s 43mm, but has short lugs and is 12mm thick, so it wears quite a bit smaller. Omega Seamaster 300m, but it‘s BIG. Oris Aquis and Breitling Superocean Heritage are also alternatives. Longines Spirit Zulu Time might also scratch the itch. In general, there‘s a shitton of watches that look similar to the Sub, so best look around a bit.

Seamaster wears surprisingly well for the size. Unsurprisingly, same goes for the Speedmaster
