My watch collecting uncle just passed and left me a small inheritance. I’m looking to get my two sons a watch to remember him by. Oldest: 25, outgoing, stylish, beginning to collect (has a Breitling, Omega, and Tudor). Youngest: 21, quiet, poor college kid with a Fossil but interested in more. Looking to spend $1k or under. Thanks!
You could find an Oris Big Crown in the $950-1100 range on Jomashop or Bob’s. Would make a nice daily for your older son, to go along with his more “special occasion watches.”
For the younger one, I like the Hamilton kfa suggestion, as well as the Murph.
Note the size ranges for each of these.
Take a look at Christopher Ward as well.
