[Discussion] £4000 What should I Buy? (alien.top)

Hi guys,

Just getting into watches I have a couple cheaper watches now looking to buy something a little more expensive.

What would you guys buy with £4k (I don’t need to spend it all), happy with preowned or new.

I’m thinking about a light dial maybe white or champagne but pretty open to any suggestions.

I quite like;

-Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra -Grand Seiko Heritage

Any suggestions would be appreciated🫡

Both the GS and the Omega are great options !!! i would also look at Baume & Mercier Clifton Baumatic. More of a dress watch but with an in house cosc certified mechanism with 5 days of power reserve.

To be honest i think i would go for the GS since i really love that watch !!! But i dont think you can go wrong with any of these choices.

Leaning towards the GS thank you

Look into some straps for it to mix up the vibe since it’s your first watch. I got some from Delugs and it has helped me be more patient. I can get a different feel from different straps and wait for another high quality watch instead of buying a bunch of mid-tier watches to feel that rush again.

I'd go for a pre-owned Rolex Air King

Definitely on my list to try on before I buy anything thank you

Maybe a nice Nomos or Mühle Glashütte.

If this is not for you then I personally would go for Grand Seiko. Omega and Rolex and Tudor and … are great watches but for my taste much to „common“ - if watches with this price tag could described as common at all.

I can highly recommend german watches like Hanhart, Sinn and Junghans. Good quality.
