Hello Guys
New member. Looking to buy my first watch. I have never owned one in my lifetime. My brother says get a Omega Speedmaster James Bond, my budget is about 3k. Wanting stainless. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

Welcome!

Buy what you like...whatever speaks to you. At the price point, a Speedy or 16570 at slightly more are great choices. Good luck!

Welcome to the forums! Have a look around and see what appeals to you, within your price range. Get familiar with the different makes, models and designs before you buy :)

Welcome and for around 3k, you can find a good condition Explorer 14270 36mm in stainless steel. Good luck on your hunt on whichever watch you choose.

You can get the new edition Seamaster Professional Diver 300M for 2.6-3K brand new. They are built like tanks and are a great entry watch to lifelong WIS status.

Im new here as well. After browsing through the site I like it a lot. People seem very friendly. At first I liked the new DJ that came out with the continuous jubilee band. Then I browsed around and found I like the Day-Date Presidents. Now I think I'm liking the Daytona. I don't know what will happen if I keep browsing.

Welcome! A Tudor Pelagos is also a great option at that price.
