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.

I am so sad I missed the forest green commuter, surprised they didn't bring it back for a second run when they redid the line

Traska and Lorier make some really nice looking watches! :)

Tracks are a Rolex homage, so probably right up your sales street.

Traska watches are definitely not Rolex hommage watches

Eh 2 of their models are definitely homages

The website literally describes how it is influenced by 1960s Rolexes and points out several (including James Bond’s Goldfinger Rolex) as its main design cue.
