Very nice! A friend of mine just picked up a grand Seiko GMT, as well and loves it.

If Rolex: Datejust 36 or OP in 39/36/34

If not Rolex: pretty much any Nomos can be had new for well under 5K. You could possibly even get a Nomos AND a Tudor BB 58 for under 5K which seems like a very solid 2 watch combo that works in literally any situation

Zenith El Primero 1969 38mm

I bought one to mess around with and it's seeing more wrist time than any Rolex I own. I also like it more than the 42mm Speedy I used to own. I like chronos and this one is super versatile depending on the strap.

Cartier santos, metal and leather strap easily changeable.

Rolex Explorer or Omega SMP

Oris Aquis 39.5.

You get a ceramic bezel, quality bracelet/clasp, 300m water resistance, a nice blue dial.

Perfect daily & beater watch imo for around $2k. Invest the rest and call it day.

Wait a few months, you might be able to get a watch only 14060 for 5k.

IWC Ing 40mm automatic. You can get it new under $5k with a discount.

I did a review a few years ago:

You can find them now for around $6500. 5k isn’t far off. I bought one two year ago for 5k ish. I could see getting back there. Things are softening considerably.

The speedmaster is a fantastic watch with a great history, but as an every day watch maybe I’d prefer one that shows the date. Zenith El Primero is an obvious option to consider, or perhaps a Panerai if that’s your style.

Or add a few thousands and get the ultimate every day watch, the Rolex Submariner :)
