Help with watch selection

[salraf]

I am looking for a watch to add to my collection. These are some of the specs that I would like

-blue dial
-automatic
-42mm or larger
-steel band
-non chronograph
-a few arabic numerals on the dial
-under 5k

I was looking at omega PO/seamaster series but I already have a speedy and therefore was looking at another manufacturer to round out my collection.

Thanks for the help

Used is OK? What else do you have in your collection?

These came to mind:
Tudor Pelagos (42mm)

Tiffany CT 60 (40 mm)

MontBlanc 1858 (44 mm, manual wind)

Well the Pelagos is a non-starter since it’s Titanium and lacks the requisite Arabic numerals!

This’ll get you started, you can dig further into the site by using ref numbers or model names for better prices, condition, or location, if you don’t fancy importing.

Breitling Steelfish (discontinued model), 44mm and it comes in blue. It has a combination of arabics and lume dots.

Well, if you put it this way I will point out that he also said "non chronograph"

I agree with the pelagos as an excellent choice fitting the bulk of the criteria.
Few things are perfect (of course I am not talking about the 14060 submariner)

Ah bollocks! Thought it said ‘chronograph’. Sshhh…if you don’t say a word, he’ll probably not notice.

Anyway…

[salraf]

thanks for all the input so far..Yeah I do have a few chronos and therefore am preferring not to go in that direction.

I have a tudor BB but the pelagos blue does look enticing..

I came across a beautiful IWC portuguese blue but it was about 16K

a bit out of budget

[ChrisInCharlotte]

What about that Maurice Lacroix Pontos S Blue Devil diver that was just announced? $2,950 retail, arabic numerals aren't on the dial but the rotating bezel insert,,

[Lordofrolex]

Even bought it doesn't have Arabic numbers. I would still get the Tudor.

I had one of these, fantastic watch for your money tho a bit thick, and a UN Blue Surf which looks great on a bracelet.
