The Submariner is just so recognizable to the point that even people that don't even know what a watch does know what it is. 😅 Gets my vote for that reason and that the Explorer I isn't on the list, not that I'm even sure if it should be.
By the ones you're eye-balling, I think the new GS Snowflake might fit the bill. It doesn't have the power reserve on the dial, a sticking point for many. Not sure if it's quite within your budget though.
Def not it. Rolex/ Tudor knows the "game" better than anyone out there. Make no mistake, they're one in the same. Even with all the proof people had that Rolex would come out with a coke, Tudor is the one unveiling it. But that's a long conspiracy filled rant.
I love the Cartier platinum rewind, all of Vacheron Constantin's green dial on gold, Nomos' absolutely crazy 31(?) color releases to celebrate 170 years, and, where I put my money, Trilobe's moonphase.
There are some beautiful releases from independents like Beauregard. Problem is, as much as we know watches are jewelry, we like to think of them as tools, like us after all 🤣
There's plenty this year that catches my eye, but algorithms are meant to pull from trend, not so much show you the new. To me, BB either stands for Be Bold or Be Boring, but the beauty is, it's your choice 😅
Just got it in. I'll wear it when it fits, tomorrow will probably be the first day. First impressions are positive. It's quirky and I knew that going in lol.
Imo, thin it around the diamond flare portion. It shouldn't be larger than the pip/ triangle on the bezel lol.
Also, remove it completely from the chronograph. We can argue about using your watch, but for those that do, it's almost undeniably in the way no matter how you swing it.
