Get the small, this one looks big on you. Otherwise it’s a great watch. It’s quartz but I guarantee they’re not throwing a cheap unbranded movement in there. There’s no second hand so you wouldn’t notice + the added convenience of it being a grab and go piece.
this one’s already a little big on you. I wouldn’t go any larger.
1·1 year agoAre you looking for a GMT specifically? What’s your budget?
Laco’s basic series would probably be my choice if it has to be automatic.
If you’re not opposed to quartz:
Marathon Navigator
Bulova Lunar Pilot
great choice! let’s see it on your wrist!
i’m looking to buy a watch when I graduate college in about a year, and i’m torn between this one and the GMT.
they’re fantastic pieces. you can’t go wrong with either one.
seiko makes great watches. i have an srpd55 and love it. good looking and runs better than spec at <5 sec per day.
Lorier Neptune, Baltic Aquascaphe. I have the Lorier:
any particular reason why you don’t like the Neptune? It pretty much nails the vintage diver aesthetic, very similar to the Tudor BB. The SKX and its newer variants (SRPD/SRPK) are also fantastic.
what exactly are you looking for? what would make a watch “eye-catching”?
Here’s a few microbrand options:
Lorier Hyperion
Traska Venturer
Baltic Aquascaphe GMT
Maen Hudson GMT
Timex Weekender
Watch prices are ridiculous. There’s people who think anything under $10K is affordable.
The majority of my watches are under $300 with the exception of my Lorier and Traska which were about $500 and $600 respectively. I don’t feel a need to spend any more at the moment, i’d rather use that money towards my education or traveling. I won’t go broke or into debt for a watch.
I’d do the opaline dial Tudor Black Bay GMT. Currently eyeing it for myself as a reward for earning my pilot certification.
