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!

Longines Zulu time gmt 39 green

A dress watch, microbrand, some colour, and please a different brand

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

If you can snag a used simple Breguet or Vacheron with a leather strap for under 10k, it could add some diversity and a cleaner look to wear with a suit.

I’d get a non-chronograph pilots watch. Oris Propilot Big Date or and IWC Mark XX / Big Pilot’s Watch 43.

Nothing. It's perfect.

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

I would say Zenith Chronomaster (either original or sport), Glasshutte Original SeaQ, JLC Polaris (especially in a blue dial), Grand Seiko White Birch or snowflake.

First Swatch In Space

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

I would be happy with those pieces and look for a microbrand beater or Casio. I'd even trade in a few of them for a zenith or jlc moon phase

Zenith El Primero Chrono Original, white dial

[–] Lo-Tecc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

A gmt like the zulu time from longines

[–] CFC-12_21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The Navi is a GMT. Zulu is definitely nice too

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

Is that Peter Blake a quartz? Why no paragraph on the face?

[–] CFC-12_21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

2264 quartz

[–] JohnnyFootball08@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe a JLC Polaris or Zenith Chronomaster Sport

[–] lucky5150@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wif this is all you want I'd get a SS sub Date.

If you want something different I'd get a dress watch. Something thin and classic on leather like a JLC ultra Master thin. Or a Cartier Tank must.

If you just want sport watch I'd get something on rubber or Nato. Maybe an Omega world timer . Or Breitling Super ocean heritage would fit your style.

[–] CFC-12_21@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Nice call! Will do! If it's good enough for Jack...

Likely due to a poor photo, but the Aqua Terra is in fact the green dial

Grand seiko

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

Man that navitimer is an eye candy ❤️

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

You need a Casio to bring some value to that collection

JLC master control

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

Prune first

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

I love your collection, I would add a Grand seiko, omega deville gmt on a brick road bracelet. Perhaps a cool zelios mother of pearl gmt.

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

Globemaster, annual calendar if you like the font.

grand seiko

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

I’d put a reverso there right in the middle as the main event..

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

Great collection, I’d add the glycine airman 36m for my gmt watch of choice and Cartier pasha/ ceinture as my dressier occasion watch. Pretty nice collection though. I really respect Breitlings! Too big for me unfortunately:(

[–] tyr_33@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Something German... Glashütte original or Nomos.

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

That Navitimer ❤️

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

A fun colored Breitling Seamaster. I love mine in bright orange.

Every collection could use a BALL watch! Something colourful maybe like this Engineer III?

An IWC Pilot would also serve you well like this Spitfire maybe.
