I’d do the opaline dial Tudor Black Bay GMT. Currently eyeing it for myself as a reward for earning my pilot certification.

my choice would be explorer

Get the small, this one looks big on you. Otherwise it’s a great watch. It’s quartz but I guarantee they’re not throwing a cheap unbranded movement in there. There’s no second hand so you wouldn’t notice + the added convenience of it being a grab and go piece.

this one’s already a little big on you. I wouldn’t go any larger.

Are you looking for a GMT specifically? What’s your budget?

[–] pgthsg@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Laco’s basic series would probably be my choice if it has to be automatic.

If you’re not opposed to quartz:

Marathon Navigator

Bulova Lunar Pilot

great choice! let’s see it on your wrist!

i’m looking to buy a watch when I graduate college in about a year, and i’m torn between this one and the GMT.

they’re fantastic pieces. you can’t go wrong with either one.

seiko makes great watches. i have an srpd55 and love it. good looking and runs better than spec at <5 sec per day.

any particular reason why you don’t like the Neptune? It pretty much nails the vintage diver aesthetic, very similar to the Tudor BB. The SKX and its newer variants (SRPD/SRPK) are also fantastic.

what exactly are you looking for? what would make a watch “eye-catching”?
