I got to try on a Sky-Dweller recently and as much as I like how they look, I think it's just too big for me—diameter is perfect, but too thick. That got me thinking about a 41mm Royal Oak, which I've always loved, but the popularity of the Offshores kinda turned me off to AP a little. A 15400ST is pretty much perfect for my tastes though. Little more expensive than a steel Sky-Dweller, with a lot less cool complications, but I think that's what I'm going to save up for.

I think the explorer II is going to be the next "hot" rolex in a few years, so I'd say getting one now might not be the worst investment. I like the extra functionality of the GMT Master II but that bubble is already in full swing for the Pepsi/Rootbeer ones, I think a white Explorer II with an Orange strap would look really epic and unique.
Also that Lange is gorgeous but the Datograph is the one I would have to get, if I had the means, which I don't, unless of course I could somehow afford or justify a Perpetual Datograph haha...

I'm SERIOUSLY considering a Nomos Club.
I'm new to the watch game and I have little-to-no interest in dress, diver, or chrono watches. Field watches is what gets me, since it makes it much easier to wear casually.
That leaves very little choice, and I'm not seeing that much interesting in a Hamilton Khaki.
The Club 38 Campus however, reaaaally ticks it for me... https://nomos-glashuette.com/en/club/club-38-campus-night-736.
What other watches do you guys think may be interesting in the same vein, that I may have missed?
If I had to get a dress watch I'm looking at a Frederique Constant Slimline... but that's not until I need to wear suits more than once every other year.

The Datograph is probably my favorite Lange currently offered, other than some of their stunning one-offs or very limited productions. Several beautiful complications without the dial looking like a mess. The way the watch accurately manages the moon phases is an absolute thing of beauty.
If my next promotion happens soon, and along with my new position as adjunct faculty, getting the Explorer II will become a very feasible reality.
LOVE the small seconds complication on the Club 38. I'm sure others will have good suggestions, but IWC does make some really great watches that have a similar look to the Nomos, but at the price of the Club 38, I don't think you're going to find a nicer looking, better built watch. No brainer to go with the Nomos if you dig it.

As field watches go, a lot of love goes to the Seiko SARB017. They were discontinued so the price is going up in them but a cool looking field watch.
Explorer 1 is the benchmark for me when it comes to field watches. Super versatile too if you want to put it on a strap. I think someone in this thread actually got one recently if I remember right.
Completely agree, though the price difference between the two is significant. In terms of a nearly perfect watch, the Explorer I is basically it.

I only was looking to see your watch based on our discussions in this thread but you can’t miss that Spencer is also wearing a watch. Do you know what he was wearing? Seemed to have a large dial without many distinguishing marks.

Anyone see that 50th Anniversary Omega Moonwatch?!

It’s Baselworld time and.... Tudor released a modded Seiko sKX
It looks so bad but at least tudor is trying unique things haha

The lug to lug width is monstrous. It seems like it’d be hanging over anyone’s width.
You are right though. Most companies just add a different color dial or bezel to an existing watch and call it a day
also nice that its a fairly faithful heritage release, it is nice that they’re not ignoring their heritage lines. I applaud the faithfulness to heritage but will never get this watch
I know this isn't a watch respected by "real" watch people, but I love the new J12—the see-thru case back and that new rotor are killer looking. Too expensive for what it is (and the fact they don't hold value real great), but also a lot more affordable than most of the stuff I want.
#firstworldproblemmoment for me...
I got my Hamilton Khaki Field; I like the size and the way it fits on my wrist, but it's not my favorite Field Watch design.
Today I received a Seiko SKX013, a slightly smaller 007, but while it has the same diameter as the Hamy, I really did NOT how it sits on my wrist. The bezel means the dial appears way too small. It's going back.
I'm ideally looking for a GMT next, since the Seiko didn't work out, perhaps with Diver looks (Diver specs are not needed). In a perfect world, it'd look like a Seiko SNK80X (man do these look AMAZING, and are so cheap...) but the closest to that is a Sinn 856, of which I am seriously wanting the S version (the 857 looks stunning, but may be too big).
Failing this, my next big occasion may see me get that Tudor Black Bay GMT. That thing is seriously gorgeous. Not even sure it'd ever fit my style. But wow.
Anything else I should consider?
