Where should I go next?
So, I'm only looking to make 1 watch purchase in 2024. In the past 2 years I've accumulated these 2 beauties:
Everyday Dress Watch- Cream Orient Bambino 38
Sport- Seiko Speedtimer 39mm.
But what should I get for #3?
I've already tried the following:
Hamilton Khaki Auto 38- wore bigger than i expected. And I hat that the bracelet doesnt taper enough.
Tissot Prx 35mm- a bit smaller than I had hoped. It really needs to be somewhere between 36mm- 38mm.
Seiko Dresskx- I sold this one, but I'm heavily thinking about buying it back. The black or the blue??? 🤔
I'm open to most all ideas. Thanks watch fam!!!

I Really love the SPB143. Maybe I'll save up for it 🤔
PRX is always a great option but also a good consideration could be a g shock? https://www.casio.com/us/watches/gshock/product.GA-2140RE-1A/ I like the 2100 collection a lot!
Hamilton Khaki Pilot Pioneer aka the friggin W10.

I Had the 35mm. I just think it was too small. In the process I'd returning/selling it.

Did you try the larger size though? I haven’t tried the smaller ones I have the larger in black dial and also on white rubber white dial

Definitely worth it - my Mrs was lusting after a black bay, but she's nicked my 147 (gilt indices & brown dial) and now doesn't see the point of the Tudor as she's happy with the Seiko.
Certainly a step up from the non-Prospex range, (love the diashield coating on them) & available cheaply used - I paid £500 for my green Willard.
Good luck 🤞🏻

I Wouldn't mind a used SPB143. My goal is to find one in the $500-600 range sometime this year. But ee'll see how that goes lol

Totally attainable, just be patient 👍🏻👍
How about trying an Orient diver…,,

I tried rhe blue Kamasu a couple years ago. I thought it wore a little too big at the time. And I didn't like thr 22mm bracelet/lack of taper. But I've recently thought about returning to it.
I thing a dive watch would be grate. Some people argue that you cant dress up a diver. Wich seems to your requierment. Did you heard of compressor style diver? Those feature an internal rotating bezel wich let them look more formal than a normal diver. Timex and the microbrand baltic over those.

I Love this idea. I've seen the baltic compressor. Let me look up the timex.

How about the Ray 2 in marine blue, gorgeous colour and you can get it on a bracelet or rubber strap. I have this model and it wears smaller than it’s 41mm dia 👍🏻
