I fully admit that I'm not a watch guy. I don't really know a ton... I obviously know the names of a few brands out there but that is about it. I have a Breitling that I bought a while ago that I wear every now and again when I need to class up an outfit.

 

I'm looking to add a 2nd nice watch to my collection. I'm open to ideas in the price range listed above...

 

I also dislike large face watches. I want something that is nice, classy and subtle. Not something that screams 'look at how baller I am'.

Vintage Rolex Sub/GMT or lambda lambda lambda and the lambda lambda lambda and the lambda lambda lambda and the omega mu mu mu Speedmaster. Wild card: Check out Franck Muller.

 

For some reason I cannot post O-Mega....

I am curious.

 

If you're not a watch guy, and you've got one you like that you only wear now and then...why do you want another one? Are you tired of the one you wear only occasionally? Do you want a different color metal or face?

Franck Muller has some amazing watches. The ones I really like are outside my price range... I really like this for the price but hard to gauge size... 39x50mm might be too big for me.

I do really like these Breitlings for the price as well:

I do get a little tired of wearing the same one out every time. I would prefer to get a different color face (probably something black).

I would advise against buying a high end watch on Ebay.... Go into an AD try them on..some bands might not feel right, or the weight of the watch. Plus you have a contact if you need service. Also I've seen Rolex fakes so good that even a Rolex specialist with the back off had to look for a good while before spotting its a fake.

I just use ebay as a way to gauge pricing since I'm pretty inexperienced... It's just a good way to gauge what I can expect to pay when buying it from a reputable source (obviously, the source is going to charge more, but it should be in the ballpark).

I would chose an lambda lambda lambda and the omega mu. In the price range you are looking, best movement out there .
