Looking to purchase a watch for around 8k for myself. Currently looking at these 4 primarily but can’t decide. I am open to suggestion for other watches around 8k or below. Please let me know if any of these watches should be avoided for a specific reason. I am not really looking g to resell the watch later on so price retention or premium isn’t a concern for me. Thank you.

    The Santos shows every scratch and ding, in my experience.

    The best question to ask is, what kind of watch owner are you?

    If you are delicate and protective, the Santos is amazing. If you can’t help but wack everything in arms reach, get something more sporty, like the Omega or a Tudor Black Bay or Rolex Submariner.

    If you’ll use a chronograph, get a chronograph, otherwise don’t, this is just another part of the movement that can easily break if not properly maintained. Heck, I’ve seen idiots mess up their chronograph by jamming on all the buttons when the watch wasn’t hacked.
