I recommend a service company called The Art of the Watch. I am not affiliated with them - I am a happy customer. They specialize in “preservations” where they make the watch mechanically sound without polishing or any of the other invasive procedures all the smart people here have recommended you do NOT do. This is correct. You want it mechanically sound but physically as-is.

Go try them on. Maybe I’m just wholly pessimistic about this sub at this point but god damn people… take some ownership of your life. You’re looking at spending 8k. The Monaco weighs a fuck ton. The omega is ceramic and is almost weightless. The wearing experience is so different. Then the Santos is a relatively thin dressy watch among sports chronos and a diver. Idk man I’m sorry to come at you but this selection is so all over the place I can’t help but think people need to spend more time with their own mind and taste and make the effort to see these watches in person to make a decision rather than ask the internet.
