I Need Your Suggestions!
I‘m finishing my apprenticeship in a few weeks and I want to but my first luxury piece😊
I’m looking to spend 2.000-2.500€ on a diver or sporty watch like a longines legend diver 36mm.
I have a 15.5 cm wrist and my sweet spot is in between 36-38mm.
Do you guys have any suggestions?

I cannot recommend the 38 mm Longines Legend Diver enough! COSC movement too. I love it.
Agree with Longines...several solid choices that are at the right price point with a decent amount of cachet.
Worry more on what you like vs Luxury. As you start to build your collection you will start to go up the latter on watches.
My suggestions for 36mm to 38mm:
Nomos 36mm
Glycine Airman 36mm
Seiko baby Alpanist
Baltic
You can get a used Speedmaster for 2500 (39mm)
Just check that it was serviced recently (3 years) Usually cost 400-700 USD to service a chrono well at least here in the US by a professional watch maker. Omega charges a grip.
Hey 👋 my gateway drug of choice was a #tagheuer. I’m not saying I made a mistake as I still like the watch but I think had I gone to an AD rather than a stand alone #tagheuer boutique I may well have bought differently.
Go and try on every watch you want to look at and make the decision based on what you like and suits you and your style.
It’s easy for us all to name watches we all have and love and I’m sure they will all be great ideas but in the metal they may not speak to you.
Take your time and enjoy the journey, don’t worry about saying no to a watch your not sure about.
Good luck 🤞
