Good evening,

I’m thinking about picking up my next “big” watch brand. For context, I’ve got a Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 (arguably my best watch,) a Vostok, two Citizen Eco Drives, a Bulova Marine Star, and a Sternglas (which was a mistake.)

I’ve got a Seiko 5 Arabic on order.

I’m wanting to step up in brands. I feel like Hamilton is a lateral move from Tissot, but Oris and Tudor are too expensive.

I’ve been looking at Longines and Mido, but am open to suggestions.

    The same goes for many brands honestly because they’re a little overpriced by a bit or a lot for some, first hand from boutiques.

    ADs give discounts in general but is a 25% discount on a brand new say, Blancpain Villaret complete calendar better than 40% off on chrono24 etc instead, for very good/nearly unworn/slightly used and from reputable sellers/verified servicing etc?

    Up to the individual but that’s what you can find basically and stretch your budget a lot more.

    Your 20k watch now can cost 12k when your initial budget of 12k brand new would’ve gotten you a lot less basically.

    Same goes for brands ranging from Longines, Mido, Fredrique Constant all the way to Breguet etc.
