Hello r/Watches ! the reason I’m creating this post today is that I want to buy my mother a watch with my first salary. Even though I follow this subreddit, I can’t say I know a lot about watches nor I have the budget for them. So, I need your expertise .

In our family, there’s a tradition of buying a gift with the first paycheck (even if it wasn’t, I would still want to buy one), and my mom gifted a watch to my grandma with her first salary. My grandma has been wearing the watch my mom gave her every day for 30-40 years. So, it’s important to me that the watch I choose is timeless and suitable for daily wear. My mom usually wears silver jewelry, but I know she has worn gold-colored items due to gifts we’ve given her in the past. My budget right now is 1-2k € but if you think there’s an exceptional watch that’s worth a bit more, I can be flexible.

Thank you all in advance for your recommendations and ideas.
