I'd look at a second hand pelagos or black bay pro. Tudor ranger is also a very good shout.

I'd go for that prx. Really the only good gold plated watch in that price range. Pretty much perfect for what you want.

[Question] What are your thoughts on Laco? Is it a good brand? in c/watches@style.land

Considering buying an Augsburg blue hour 39. IWC looks from a brand with real heritage.

[Recommendation] Can anyone recommend me some watches with green dials? Thanks in c/watches@style.land

VC overseas but that's beyond aspirational

[Red Star] Can I wear a Red Star (e.g Seagull 1963) as an Office Watch? in c/watches@style.land

Literally no-one cares unless you've got a 50mm Invicta on then they may notice.

[GS and Rolex] (alien.top)
 

I really don't understand when people say "buy a Rolex to impress others, buy a GS to impress yourself" as if all GS owners are galaxy brained appreciaters of the fine art of watch making and Rolex owners are Neanderthal hype monkeys. I'd expect most people who buy either brand and do so because they like the watch and appreciate its different aspects and value proposition and that's it. Rolex does of course have it's branding going for it but the "alternative" nature of a GS almost makes it trendy because it's perceived as not being mainstream. to clarify I like both brands and their watches and will hopefully watches own one or both of them in future.
