Best dress watch under 5,000$ ?
So I sold all my watches and decided to only keep two. My everyday watch, my SD43(which I LOVE). And I need your help choosing my 2nd watch. It can be any brand. As long as it's under 5,000$ Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Hmm lot of good options.
SS Reverso would be appealing as previously mentioned. Older DJ with holes case on elegant leather is always a favorite of mine, TT always a good option. New DJ or OP for a dressy/sporty hybrid. If you want something new and affordable Nomos does some great dress watches for god prices. |

Any of the OP's. Rhodium or blue, would be my choice of color.

+1 on the Reverso (if you can find one at that price, which I think you may be able to). That plus the Sea Dweller is an unimpeachable two watch collection.

I'm not a fan of the reverso. I just simply don't get it. Anyhow, I do really like the ultra thin Jaeger Lecoutre. The SS versions should be within the $5k mark.
I also really love the IWC Portuguese. I'm not a fan of any Cartier watch. It's not a traditional dress watch but the new DJ41 would make for a wonderful "suit" watch. The price is a little bit past budget, but the smooth bezel version preowned might be feasible. |

Actually don't care for that Seiko for other reasons as well, but a dress watch it's not.

This. Best looking dress watch Rolex ever made as far as I am concerned. Fluted bezel, no ugly cyclops and a beautiful leather strap.

Nomos has some nice choices. DJ, OP, vintage DD on strap.
Pre owned JLC MUT would probably be my choice. Might be pushing 5K, but saw a very nice condition silver dial for sale not long ago at 5700$.
