The first serious watch

Hi MG,

Buying the first "serious watch" is always an exciting and important step, not the least because it will stay with you as an important milestone, whether or not you go on to collect dozens more, or it remains your only watch, accompanying you through life's adventures.

I would hazard to say that the basic Speedmaster Professional is more iconic and historically important than the Speedy Moon, but there is a balance to the dial and colour that is very attractive. It depends a little on your requirements. The other "legacy" watch to me is the Rolex Submariner. Even vintage pieces may be of interest to you, but that's a whole other ballgame.

I'm sure you will get lots of other ideas in this thread. Let us know what you decide on.

Regards

Andrew

Ps. I have edited the street price you quoted. It is acceptable to mention recommended retail prices, but there is so much variation in discounts and other factors across different markets that it makes this information unhelpful. Instead we can focus on the merits of the watches themselves.
