Classy Wedding Watch Recommendations...
Aug 22, 2022,04:23 AM
...The title says it all. My son is getting married in October and just today (!) asked my opinion about watches up to $2k for his wedding. My wife and me had planned to buy him a nice watch for his 30th next year, but this accelerates things a bit. he is willing to look at pre-owned. The WIS in me would want a mechanical movement, but he may not care. Any Ideas of brands I should be looking at?

However, at 2k it would have to be manual-winding, which could be an issue for someone who may not care whether a watch is mechanical. (If one haggled, maybe a Tangomat can be had at a decent discount that would meet the budget. If not, perhaps Seiko Pres...

I agree.. they have a wide range to choose from and the watches are relatively value for money

Thanks all...some really good ones...

...I totally forgot about Nomos...they seem to be a good value if you can find the right reference. Am cutting and pasting links for my son and will see what he likes so we can narrow it down. Stay tuned : )
A Longines sector dial would be my advice

It is a very nice watch, so classy and will look terrific with his attire! Congratulations in advance to your son! Credits: the web Best regards. René P.S.: Other nice choice would be a second hand Seamaster 300 (the bond watch). If it is good enough for ...

You might find a Pole Router in that range
