Buy watches I like and that I can afford.

pretty cool looking

I’d look at a second hand pelagos or black bay pro. Tudor ranger is also a very good shout.

I’d go for that prx. Really the only good gold plated watch in that price range. Pretty much perfect for what you want.

Considering buying an Augsburg blue hour 39. IWC looks from a brand with real heritage.
