Help with my next watch purchase.?

Good morning,

I was wondering could you guys please help me in choosing my next watch.? I'll list below things like budget, size etc. I know a lot of you are probably sick of these questions however every watch I have previously purchased I have done so with the help of the forum.

I would like to add either a dive or sport watch for everyday wear please see below my ideal requirements ;;;;;

£3,000 Max Budget


SIZE 41mm Max

L2L - 47mm Max

Water resistant min 100m

I like watches which have pops of colour either on the bezel, face or second hand. I would like a watch which looks as good on Rubber Or bracelet. I'm also happy to consider any brand or micro brand.

I think I've covered everything. I just want to thank you again for taking the time to share you're thoughts which I find invaluable and appreciate so very much.

I think pre owned seamaster or previous gen aqua terra would fit your budget. Might be tight.

I would go with the oris aquis line. It wears smaller than the 41.5 because of the ltl and thickness. I have the green And love it. Great bang for the buck.

Ya know, i say give https://www.christopherward.com a go. Have been hearing great things about them, you won't see everyone else wearing one at a GTG, and they do make some very nice designs too. jmho
