    How about a black Omega Railmaster? Great everyday watch. Works great with straps. Metas accurate. 150 Meters WR. Does not draw attention like a Rolex. Good size.

      Hey thanks! It’s actually my favorite watch. The subtle variation between the waffle pattern on the dial and the circles in the sub-dials + the blued hands just gets me every time! Plus I just like chronographs a lot. Fun way to time my coffee in the morning ha

      These are all great options! The Railmaster was on my short list but was leaning towards the denim dial which doesn’t solve this problem ha, would love an IWC but totally agree it might make the Laco obsolete and I have some sentimental value there, a Sinn or the new Pelagos seems maybe perfect though. Have you tried on the Pelagos 39 by any chance?

        I have the Pelagos 39. Wonderful watch. The t-fit bracelet is fantastic. It’s also great on an Erika’s Original Marine National strap.

          Appreciate the feedback! Think I’ll have to go try one on. Definitely curios about the t-fit as I feel like I can never get a perfect fit in a bracelet, hence almost always removing for something else

      I tried a speedy pro on years ago and felt it wore just a touch too big and then basically wrote it off. Of course it was on a bracelet as it was at an AD. Do you think they wear smaller on a leather / nato strap?

    Explorer could be a simple option

      I general it’s the easiest, except I like the 1016 so much better (because of the font choice) but I’d feel more comfortable beating up a new one. Ridiculous I know!

    Maybe look into one of Seiko’s Presage Urushi lacquer dialed watches like the SPB405. I have the SARX029 and the Urushi dial is really something you have to admire in person. Also cool Japanese background as the dials are handmade by a traditional Urushi lacquer craftsman.

      Oh wow, that’s beautiful! I really like the little crescent moon as the seconds hand counter weight too! I’m going to have to see if I can find a place locally to look at these. Definitely has the subtle but unique factor that I like. Thanks!

    The new 39mm Longines is on my radar

      Totally agree! I really want to go try one on. Some Longines, including the prior version of this, have lugs that are too long for my wrists but this one seems like it might fit the bill!

    As I see you’d like to stay below 5k I believe you can’t do better than a Black Bay. The BB58/54 would be a killer daily. Also the new BB Heritage in 41 looks awesome on the jubilee bracelet, I am waiting to see if they follow up the burgundy bezel with other color variants (not a big fan of red).

      Agree on the red. I think a BB54 would be borderline perfect but I’m curious if they will do some other releases with different color ways. I’m not a big fan of the gold on black and based on the last 5 years I expect there to be about 10 more iterations ha!

    The new glass box Carrera is fantastic.

    Sorry for two posts. I remembered the Omega Seamaster Railmaster 220.10.38.20.01.002

      No apologies needed! I love the Railmaster but prefer the blue denim version which I think just looks killer!

    One vote for Tudor BB36…the old one! I’m not as much a fan of the newer one, I quite like the “smiley” text on the dial. Reliable and hardy
