Tissot T0634091101800 is only 5.2mm thick with a 39mm case and can be had for less than $200.

Looks like the music man from Zelda back in the day

This would’ve been hilarious as a “what should I get next” post

I’d vote for a Bulova Lunar Pilot. Specifically the one that comes on the NATO, as it has a polished case and no date window for a cleaner look imo. I’d then swap it either onto a bracelet or a leather band. I rotate mine between a grey suede and black leather rally strap and love them both.
