Look into some straps for it to mix up the vibe since it’s your first watch. I got some from Delugs and it has helped me be more patient. I can get a different feel from different straps and wait for another high quality watch instead of buying a bunch of mid-tier watches to feel that rush again.

I’ve been very happy with my purchases from Delugs

It’s should all be relative to your income. I feel like over $20k I’d need security to walk around with, so that’s my soft limit. I’d probably go as high as $60k, but it would only be worn to certain events since I’m not going to pay for security.

What is your budget? That will have a strong effect on what brands people should recommend.

IWC big pilot 43. Blue dial. Simple classic look that I can wear every day without drawing too much attention. I’ve grown to enjoy more complications, but I still love my 43.

I will also say, plenty of people wear dress watches with casual attire. There are norms that some people want to follow, and more power to them, but I know people who confidently rock a dress watch in a tee and sweats and others who wear a sports watch with a suit. I personally love doing both!

I’ve been eyeing the GS GMTs as a Christmas gift for my dad and I really love the way they look. I also love the spring drive movement.

At the end of the day you’ll be the one looking down at your wrist. Get which one will make you smile more when you do.

Man. This looks pretty damn good for the money. If I needed to stay under 300, that looks really good.

I too love the comic sans font
