I know nothing about watches. Nothing. I have an Apple Watch but am interested in picking up something that I can wear in professional settings. I work in tech sales. Rolex’s are common in my industry but they scream douchebag to me. I want something that is well made and that will last. I don’t know watch brands but I’m hoping for something that is nice, will compliment a tailored suit or a blazer OR a black tshirt. And I want a brand that doesn’t scream that I’m trying too hard. TIA.

Any Seiko Presage Cocktail Time

My Blue Moon

This is the correct answer.

Presage may be too dressy for a dressed down / business casual look. A diver is probably the way to go.

Look at Seiko 5 GMT, GMT complication will be a good talking point amongst fellow watch enthusiasts, there's multiple colours to choose from, you can dress up and down and everyone loves a Seiko.

I want one of those GMTs. It’s a lot of watch for the money.

OP mentions a tailored suit or a blazer. I think the Presage line is perfectly fine for that.

They do also mention a black t-shirt. I don't think it would be out of place there, but you're right, in that scenario, I would prefer a field watch or diver over a Presage.

For sure but its his "first" watch. Divers are a little more versatile imo. Speaking from experience, seiko presage cocktail was my first real watch and it only goes on when im dressed up.

[–] Ttamlin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, for sure! I totally agree.

But my day-to-day attire is "typical IT guy" uniform of khakis and a polo lmao. I don't really dress up but for occasionally. And my typical daily wear is almost always a diver.

Oh my that band though

[–] bingeingwatches@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Blue Black Mélange Perlon from Wrist Candy Watch Club. Infinitely adjustable and oh so comfortable.

The Blue Moon looks great on most straps and bracelets.

Beautiful. Just picked up an SRPE43

[–] rkay711@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where is that band from?

[–] bingeingwatches@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Blue Black Mélange Perlon from Wrist Candy Watch Club for $13

Looks like it is currently sold out.
