In a compelling discussion, WatchProSite member myles721 seeks advice on a watch recommendation for a friend's son, who is taking over the service department at a Porsche dealership. The challenge lies in finding a suitable timepiece under a $3,000 budget that reflects the professionalism and style expected of a Porsche service head. This thread explores various brands and models, offering a fascinating look into collector preferences for automotive-inspired or robust tool watches.


Doesn't have to be German nor even representative of the brand. Who knows, maybe he prefers an Apple Watch!
Said he wants a “real” watch.
Frankly, I generally don't know enough about this fella to give him anything but a totally blind recommendation. With the suggestions you've mentioned, one can assume that you have in mind a German brand, the under 3K USD price limit, and something diver-esque. Furthermore, these are probably what you have in mind, but may not necessarily be what the recipient has in mind. Seems like you know him best! I would default to your judgment! We don't even know the rough age of this "kid" so I default
I like wrenching on my Porsche with my Sinn U1. It’s Tegemented case resists scratches, and its black finish doesn’t show any grease or dust.
I'm a car guy. I love the Sinn no-nonsense look and the prices are right. Cazalea
Hard to make a recommendation without knowing more about the person but considering the budget I suggest having a look at Guinand Uhren. They are a bit cheaper than Sinn but share the same attention to details. The Werksfahrer chrono is a real beauty, if only a bit thick (pic not mine):
