Black Bay 54
Seiko presage line has been my go to
One vote for Tudor BB36…the old one! I’m not as much a fan of the newer one, I quite like the “smiley” text on the dial. Reliable and hardy
My vote is Black OP36 or an Explorer I. Since you mentioned price of 1016s (personally I just don’t like the feel / build of vintage watches after being used to modern ones), there’s a lot of microbrands that do nice watches which reference the 1016 and similar designs like the Lorier Falcon and Smiths Everest. I tried on the Lorier at Wind Up in NYC and liked it much better than I had expected.
Speedy Pro Moonwatch
I’ve tried one on at an AD and felt a touch too big unfortunately. Plus I kinda feel like everyone has one. I do like the the early 2000’s speedy day / dates with the sundials at 12,9, and 6 maybe
Ball Marvelight Caring Edition
Cool looking good everyday Watch that’s a conversation starter at night
It’s quite thick though.
Good to know thx!
For a GADA, I look for led than 12mm
For sure! I’m picky in general about lug to lug measurements and thickness. Makes a huge difference in terms of wearability
If you want a truly black watch then my vote would be the Tudor Black Bay Ceramic

Here’s a link without all the tracking garbage if that annoyed anyone else like it did me.
Ohhh dang, that looks pretty sweet! Maybe a dumb question but would ceramic be lighter weight than stainless steel?
A diver would be perfect something like a sub if it’s too expensive I’d go for a good old seiko
What’s going on with that laco? Its dial looks tropical but I didn’t know they made one. is it just the lighting?
SBGX261… works with everything all of the time
Can you please help narrow it down a bit:
- Budget
- Casual/Dress/Diver/Field
- Established brand/Micro-brand
- Looks: Crazy/Something Different/Plain
Can get the ceramic black gmt master II for ~$10k nowadays - would be a cool option
First Gen 36mm aqua terra
I wish my existing AT was 36 instead of 39! The 39 I have has sentimental value and not sure I’d be willing to have two of the same watch but otherwise that’s probably THE answer!
Ranger or Explorer would be a great addition.
