    LUC Chopard stuff is pretty sick, dude, in addition to Piaget which people have already pointed out. But to answer your question, I’d get a Cartier or JLC

    Versace actually has good watches if you’re willing to pay extra for a brand name. You won’t be getting Grand Seiko quality obviously but the designs are fun while also being well made.

    AP is great but expensive. Same category as Vacheron and Patek. They together make up the Trinity…

      I’m always bemused by the people who dislike a post but then go into the post to comment. Like why not just scroll?

    I truly do not get why people hate on hublot so much. The classic fusion model is hands down one of the most innovative watches of its time and looks stunning on anyone’s wrist. The fact that you think hermes & bvulgary are better overall value watches than hublot is pretty remarkable how the snubiness has taken over on some of us…

    I really like Hamilton. Interesting designs, pretty solid movement, affordable pricing.

    FWIW many of the choices identified are luxury watches

    How much luxury are you willing to pay?

    For Some folks, their luxury adoption cost is much higher

    But at the cost of functionality.

    All brands being equal, It’s still just a watch.

    I’d move Zenith and Breitling up to “Great value for money”, and move Panerai to “Interesting but overpriced”.

    The El Primero movement is a legend and worthy of honor; heck, the Chronosport out-Datona’s the Daytona. And the B01 movement by Breitling is spectacular engineering and there a lot of great Breitling models that offer terrific value. These 2 are head and shoulders above Tissot, for example, also placed in that tier.

    Lastly, you need to add Alpina in the Great value for money tier.
