Looking to buy my first nicer watch in january to celebrate surviving my rather intense work schedule in december. Having fallen into the watch-youtube rabbit hole I’m not even sure I can call these pieces “nicer” but the ones I am liking at the moment are the Hamilton Khaki Field Auto 42mm, 42mm Murph and the Longines Conquest black dial. Looking for a daily driver that I can use for the next 10+ years. Is that even realistic in this price point?

Would also love recommendations in this price point for a big wristed feller.

    I’ll never understand the CW love, no original design, can’t even figure out their own branding—unlikely to be making watches in ten years… similar $$ buys you Longines, Tissot, Seiko, Hamilton etc…

      What are your thoughts on the trident pro 300? The design is relatively original by dive watch standards. When you handle them in person you can tell they are really well built for the price point

      No original design? Have actually looked at their line up?

      Similar money doesn’t buy you a Longines either and for having handled a lot of watches from each of those brand, they have superior finishing than the three other brands you cite.

      There are truly barely any designs that are actually “original” in a hobby as saturated as watches.

      What is a watch with truly original designs? Rolex? Langes? Hublot?
