Let's discuss watches, and all that come with them (the good and the bad) on this thread. Please don't troll or derail the conversation (at either end, no "this watch is for the poors" kind of obnoxious behaviour, and no "watches are capitalist conceptions, let's cancel watches" kind of wokes).
I'll start - I'm in the 8-10PQE range. I currently own - 1. Omega Speedmaster, 2. Seiko Samurai, 3. Apple Watch Ultra. My future plans (next 2-3 years) include Grand Seikos, Seamaster, and (hopefully) an Oyster Perpetual.
Alternatively, consider a Junghans if you can save up for the equivalent of a PRX Auto.
STEM guys having new age smartwatches.
Tier 2 - FP Journe, AP,
Tier 3 - Vacheron, JLC, Blancpain
If budget is below 1 lakh go for Longines or IWC
Tier 1 (New) - RM, FP Journe, Jacob & Co, Franck Muller and Greubel Forsey
Tier 2 - Audemars, JLC, Carl Bucherer, Blancpain, Vacheron, Bregeut
Tier 3 - IWC, Panerai, Hublot, Omega
That said, Longines and Omega really have beautiful pieces for women. The Longines Dolce Vita is just.. wow.
They can buy homes, raise their families, have affairs and raise second families - whatever they wanna do. I was talking about the expectation from the firm perspective.
Vintage Omega/ Patek or Hublot.
The rest are just blaah!
I am planning to get a Tissot PRX Automatic as my first watch. Any suggestions around the same price bracket are welcome!
I don't judge people who spend money on watches. If it is something which gives you joy, you should go and get it. Be it a Rolex or a Hublot :P
I'm 25M and absolutely don't care about watches. I cannot be bothered with all the delicate movements and histories. I want something reliable, accurate, fill it and forget it type. Smartwatches are out because I don't want to charge another device. I don't want to be bothered by scratch on the sapphire/crystal/whatever glass, I should be able to bump into door handles and not care. Basically I want something like GShock or the F91W but formal looking.
You can also consider a stealth mode (all black) Gshock GA-2100B but its not really formal but maybe you can get away with it. It has tough solar so you won't need a battery replacement and it can take a tumble.
