I own a few watches but I only think my Breitling navitimer b01 and Rolex Wimbledon are heirloom pieces.

Citizen Eco drives are the best quartz watches for value on the market imo.

Yeah I was expecting Casio and timex

I got into watches again when I was picking a fitness tracker this summer. I didn’t want an Apple Watch, because I’ve always liked watches and hate the Apple Watch design. I got an oura ring instead, then bought these two pieces. Love them. It’s a Breitling Navitimer 43 mm and a Rolex Datejust 41 mm Wimbledon (two tone, jubilee). I have a 7.75” wrist so need 41+ mm dial. I’ve tried watches under that and they look too small.

I’m considering a third piece to rotate with these two. I’m not sure what that one will be.

Get an oura ring and wear the watch you love instead (this is what I do)

I like having a date that is a feature. I don’t like a date at 4:28 pm.

Thanks!

Navitimer plays down a mm or so IMO, the way the dial sits vs. lugs is sort of like an optical illusion. This is a 43 mm on my wrist (7.75") for reference. I probably could have gone with a 46, but I think this fits perfect. So long as lugs aren’t slipping off the end (something I see too much on reddit).

Vintage navitimers are all over eBay in the 5k range.

Skip all of that and save up for a Breitling or Rolex or JLC. You’ve got enough watches already, don’t go for a marginal upgrade. Go for a true luxury piece when you eventually get another one.

Lot of cool budget quartz watches

Thanks! I’ve got photos of both in my comments.

10k +/- a few either direction.

My DJ41 was 15.8k after tax.

My eBay navitimer was about 5.5k.

Bindhi Glendale. May have helped that I bought a DJ 31 silver dial / diamond markers for my wife a month ago.
