I have a milestone birthday coming up and have just begun the recon mission on finding a piece that will complement, but not directly compete with anything I currently have. Not into overly dressy or rectangular watches. 39-43mm range under $10k. No Rolex, I've had a few and I didn't like the attention they got. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
I suppose this is very much a case of your mileage may vary, but I have a Datejust 36 with a smooth bezel and have never received any type of comments one way or the other. Most people don’t even notice it.
