No gold at all can be difficult. Often times the hands or the markers on the dial, some rotors …. Are made of gold even if the watch doesn’t have a gold case.

Yes exactly why I’m having a difficult time :((

[–] crashblue81@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Why no gold at all? It’s a material that simply makes sense in Juwelier for different reasons

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

Perhaps around $8-10,000

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

Sure, probably most watches in that price range.

What do you mean by "luxury watches"? There are tons of luxury watches in stainless steel, probably the vast majority of what I would call the "luxury" market. What do you mean by luxury?

Umm I would say something that is well known to be a good brand for watches? And on the high end side as he got me something in the price range for $8-10000 so I would like to return the favour

Ok plenty of Omega's, Cartier's, Brietlings, ICW's made of stainless steel in that price range. Need one rec, I'd go Omega Speedmaster Professional or Cartier Santos in steel.

Going manual wind with something like the Speedmaster is a good call. Rotors are often made out of gold at this price point.

Omega has a lot of stuff in that price range. Various speedmasters, a bit below also seamaster diver 300m or aquaterra.

Maybe also check out glashütte original. Like the panomatic lunar for example.

There is a ton of stuff. So maybe be a bit more specific what style, size etc you want. Like dive watch, chronograph, calendar, moonphase, dress watch etc.

i'd say have a look into some Jaeger LeCoultre models, master compressor for example :)

Thank you!!! :))

I didn't know watches need to be halal certified. /s

If you want "exotic" materials that isn't gold at this range, only things I can think of are titanium and carbon fiber.
