Suggestions for the best watch under 3k$
Hello guys, happy to join this little community.
I am looking for an addition to my collection and was looking for my next luxury piece at around 2.5k$ but could stretch for a 4k too.
any suggestions?
My current collection contains: Omega SMP white dial, Oris Aquis in green 43.5mm, Tissot PRX quartz in blue, Bulova Lunar Pilot, Bertucci field watch as a beater, Casio G-shock 5610 as another beater haha, and a San Martin sn-007 which is a Seiko 62MAS hommage. Oh and also I’m waiting to receive a red Orient Kamasu, and a Traska Venturer in black as the latest addition to my collection :)

Nomos in Germany....They produce excellent wristwatches, with many different in house produced calibers. Over here in the EU they are highly regarded and top value for the money.
Federick Constant, World timer in Grey. Or any GMT watch
what type are you looking for? Diver? everyday wear ( not that a diver isn't everyday wear) Have you thought about a Sinn?
for up to 4k, you could look for a vintage datejust if that's your thing/style
Sounds like right in Tudor's wheelhouse...
Longines Master Collection Annual Calendar, https://www.longines.com/en-us/watch-the-longines-master-collection-l2-910-4-92-0. It will be a nice dress watch to add to your collection, and there are a few dial colors to choose from. Annual calendar is a neat complication for daily wear.
Plenty of well kept older Omega watches available if you're patient with looking to buy secondhand.
In particular, I think the Omega Speedmaster Reduced II 3539.50.00 is particularly great. It doesn't have the 5 minute texts on each indices like most Reduced models do.
Cool concept. Here to join in the community and fun 👍
If you are looking for exceptional tool watch check out the Mühle Glashütte S.A.R. Rescue.
Here's a link if you want to see a review and details.

Omega Railmaster at grey market.
Tudor Royal too if you're ok with the design
BB58 also
This is a great problem to have! I'd say:
Tudor BB58 (sorry to sound like a broken record)
Longines Spirit
Vintage Omega Constellation
Vintage Rolex (DateJust or Air King)

Nothing particular in mind actually. I have thought about Sinn, but I’m partial about they history being involved with Nazi Germany
for up to 4k, you could look for a vintage datejust if that's your thing/style
It actually might be! I’m just afraid they would look to small on my wrist

Which one?

I actually thought about the same exact model! Just afraid of the service cost when a service is needed
Which one?
Well if you stretch to 4K that's any Black Bay or BB58 or the new Pelagos FXD!
You might try a Grand Seiko 9F quartz. You could get a SBGN003 or 005 with a GMT complication for $3k or less if used.
The Ball Trainmaster Standard Time has a gorgeous enamel dial and tritium tubes for illumination. Doesn't quite hit the 2.5k target, but it'd expand your collection without making any of your current pieces redundant.
Seiko Panda Ref 6138-8020 - one of the first automatic chronographs, great design, slim, strap monster.
Decided to go for a Rolex Air-King probably as the next addition to my collection! Thank you all! By the way, I just realized I forgot to mention I also own an Omega DeVille lol, so I do have a dress watch haha
bb58 smiley face!
BB58 is an obvious choice or even a Pelagos. Looking for something different, how about a Doxa Sub300T which will give you a splash of colour. Happy hunting…
Milus Snow Star or Archimedes.
