[Recommendation] Looking for a field-ish watch in the 2k and under range. Good lume, 100m water resistance or more, ~38mm diameter, and can be dressed up in a pinch. (alien.top)

I’m starting to realize the 2k and under price range is a strange place for watches, and can’t exactly find what I’m looking for. As of now, the Sinn 556i RS is essentially what I’m looking at, it’s just maybe a little too bland. Maybe pictures don’t do it justice. Anyways, in a perfect world, I would go for an Aquaterra or maybe a BB36. I just want to gauge what all is out there and see if I’m more or less stuck with the Sinn.

Having done this for a while and having made my fair share of mistakes, my advice is to not buy a substitute for the thing you want. Every time I've done that, I've ended up paying more in the end when I sold the substitute to buy the original.

Starting with a strict price range is the wrong way to approach a luxury purchase. You're already coveting particular items, don't confuse them with the generic idea of "buying a watch". Figure out which one of those two that you like the most and then figure out how (and when) to make it happen in a responsible way.
