A simple 18k solid gold case automatic Tissot would be a good choice :thumbsup:

If you can wait, save up from something more substantial, that can hold its value over time, like a Rolex or a popular Omega model like the Speedmaster.

Otherwise, just get whatever that looks good to you.

Maybe you can try looking at wingwahwatch.com for pre-owned watches.

Hope you find something there  :)

You can get a black Bay brand new for about 12k. So it's double Budget almost. If it's a diver you want, Oris Aquis and Oris Diver 65 are good considerations. You will have extra money as well to buy another watch. ;)

But honestly I think the new Tag Aquaracer is awesome indeed. It's quite value for its unique looks.

1. Longines, Tags and Frederic Constant are shitter watches
2. Panerai too many good fakes around and their AD refuse to authenticate

Everything else are ok

Longine Legend Diver caught my eyes. But eventually I settled with the Ball Engineer Master ii diver as it look more balance on my small wrist compare to the Longine.

Hi Terrence, looking through ur posts reminds me of my position in your shoe a month back. The dilemma lasted me some time or so for choosing the available options out there..

I was stucked between the Oris Aquis Date(5k+), Tag AR Cal5(7k+), the Ball EHC(9k+), Bell Ross Steel (9k+)

I was in the same situation as u at that moment with same budget at 7k, Rolex as my favorite watch brand because my dad and bro already owned 1 that really make myself wanted 1 as well.

Anyways, will work my way to Rolex in few years time but for the time being I just want a watch that will look nice on me. As I had been thinking too much which to get I simply just put 1 factor to priority - the watch I love seeing on my wrist and being distinct from what people are wearing out there. 

At that point no doubt I told myself BR is the only watch that gave me the impulse to purchase right away and I love it most out of the 4 options that put me in dilemma. Although the downside of the BR of being not rich in history, lowest water resistance of all the options, no bezel, etc etc...

So, just choose a watch that you think it will make u looks good.. or at least u love seeing and wearing it everyday :)

Just my 2 cents(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170309/76245b7528aad52d24d4c4fc0ffbefe4.jpg)
