Mint green dial substitute
Hello,
Recently I fall in love with this mint green Rolex dial, I find this color extremely classy. It fits many more outfits than regular green in my opinion.
Do you guys know any reputable watch with a MINT green dial similar to the one in the picture? I should also mention that I am looking for something suitable for a student's pocket ;)
Have a nice day and thank you in advance!

You have good taste, if you like the look, but are on a student budget, this is the perfect situation for a homage. That color is very Rolex, so there is not a ton of other brands with a similar aesthetic color wise. Something like this may work.
While not quite the same shade, I think the Nomos Club Neomatik in petrol is close: https://nomos-glashuette.com/en/club/club-sport-neomatik-petrol-745

Thank you very much for your suggestion. Unfortunately you are right that this is a very rolex color :( The one you sent looks wayyy too similar, my budget is like up to $1500
Well, $1500 is a little better than most students budgets. In that case I like the following three. May take a little bit of hunting, but with some work should be able to get most at or around $1500.
First the Rado Golden Horse R33101314
Second, not quite the same green, but the Oris New Your Harbor.
What would any list be with a Seiko, the SPB349:
Last one, while not really close to green, you may want to look at the Farer Lander IV:
450 € Sternglas Marus, automatic. currently sold out. But you can inrole to get a notification as soon as it is available again
600 € Michel Herbelin Cap Camerad, Quartz.
2200 € Rado True Square
And as an honorable mention:
150 or less Casio G-Shock GM-2100B-3A
Christopher Ward Dune? A snip at £850 on bracelet.

love the bold colour of farer 😍😍
This is on my list the buy, I haven’t seen any photos that truly do it justice, truly beautiful.
Fun fact: I was offered this watch at an AD on Schiohol airport, but refused. The cyclops crystal is a no go for me now, although I am sort of getting use to it. The green is magnificent and that jubilee bracelet is just stunning.

That is absolutely stunning but why is it 36mm?? It's way too small for a man's wrist, if they did it in 41 I would definitely buy this masterpiece
Grand Seiko SBGE257? Although I wouldn’t call this color or your color a mint color. Isn’t mint lighter?

I really like this oris. Do you think it would be a good investment since it's a limited edition? Now on chrono24 the price is below the price on the oris website but maybe in the future it will change

yes mint should be lighter but thanks anyway. This piece is also out of my price range :(

Sorry. That's the bad engineer in me. I forgot to read the requirements document.

The Oris was suggested by the other fellow. But anyway my opinion:
Watches sre allways a bad investment. By good deals you can only try to minimize the hazard on your bank account.
Oris is a good brand and always wirth to buy.
But don't get blinded by the declaration as "limited edition". Oris produces a lot of watches, from the same models but often with changed dial and bezel colors following a specific theme. Mostly lakes, rivers, seas, oceans.
So there are many "limited editions" out there from Oris.
So don't expect it to gain in vallue.
Decide allways for a watch by your own taste and income.
As a student I would recommend you to stay bellow under 500.
Or just wait till your first job.
As a student you can use the money for so many other things. Studdy abroad, Notebook, Books or just the rent.
Education is allways the best investment.

Well you are absolutely right, thanks about this small investment lesson. I didn't know that oris makes many limited editions. I will have to consider buying a new piece once again..

I would second the Nomos Club… I love that watch! Maybe a bit out of the price range but a stunning watch nonetheless!

No date though, I think that is necessary for daily wearer imo.
Given that you're a student I would get either a homage or watch under 1k and wait for the Rolex to get cheaper (maybe in a few years you will be working and ready to buy one). This color in particular is very difficult to get a hold of and at ridiculous grey prices right now.
