[Recommendation Request] I just survived a stroke (I've also beat cancer 2x, and survived a house explosion, but that's for another day), should I buy a watch to commemorate this event? (alien.top)

I'm 47 and am on the other side of a stroke (last Wed.) now (Feeling pretty good - my balance and motor skills suck).

I currently have:
Tudor BB GMT (Black Dial)
Tudor BB 41 (Black Dial)
Longines Hydroconquest 41 Grey dial with Grey Ceramic bezel
Seiko Bruce Lee Limited 5 Sports Edition Automatic
Dufrane Barton Springs II with Hill Country Wine Dial
Seiko Prospex SRPC93 (Save the Ocean dial)
Seiko Presage Automatic 1964 Limited Edition-SPB127J1
Casio G Shock 2100-1A

If I add something, I typically buy it second-hand and keep it under $3,000. I like unique dials, and I kinda want some sort of Panda. Open to anything though. Let's hear some suggestions for this brain-damaged watch fan.

Is living a healthy lifestyle an option? (Assuming you don't have a genetic health condition)

I lift weights 3x a week, walk 3-4 times a week and do 8-10 hours of jiu jitsu a week, plus eat for my macros.

Maybe I should try not being healthy and see if that works better. 🤣
