Recommend me a red-ish watch?

Hi guys I am looking for a watch that has some red tones either in the hands or the bezel.

A few that I have already considered:
Gmt Pepsi - I already have a BLNR so will give this a miss
Tudor black bay - I had this but ultimately I sold it because the watch was a little too big for my wrist that it didn't wear very comfortably.
Hublots - too pricey!

Something that's not too large for a 6-6.5 inch wrist, and less than 5k would sound just right. Do you guys have any other suggestions? Much appreciated and thanks in advance

The female Homo Sapiens species is alive and quite well on the forum you know. Please ignore my post if you were only asking the males exclusively.Anyway I can actually rattle out another 20 watches with red tones within your budget.

How about the Sinn T1 or Sinn UX?





Although, for your wrist the smaller (41mm) Sinn T2 may be a better choice.

Another idea: Straton VDC MKII, Version C:

Gerardo has a Red Tudor that is seriously gorgeous!! I'm not sure if that is a Tudor that is not a good size for you. That would be my choice though.

Mr Milgauss2232 Sir. It's that picture you posted.Pardon me,not saying it's a fake or anything but I havent seen that version before.I'm only familiar with another Grantour Tudor as shown below

Would you prefer a woman's point of view ?

1 - Maxi casing Solid Robust Heavy on my photo.The big pushers and chunky crown guards are cannon-like
2- What's with the " Altimeter Triple Date Window ? ".Those triple date thinghy are best represented on an IWC pilot Mark XVII chronograph but not really a popular model.Then IWC decided to switch back to the single date in Mark XVIII and sales picked up
3- Where's the Rose logo ?
4- Wide bezel with the Arabic numerals looks plain
5-The Val 7753 movement is a great one though. Bracelet is nice and solid

Wait Mr Milgauss. I'll post some rather similar alternative Reddish chronographs of which could be worth a small fortune 0ne day....

I've posted a few Omega Speedmaster Racing Dial Michael Schumacher LE over the years when he was F1 champion driver.
I pray Michael recovers as much as possible although he now has severe memory loss and in a hemiplegic state. If anything happens to him,these LE watches would increase in value tremendously

Thanks Megan, I actually have no idea if that is a fake or not.. I saw a white faced grantour at the AD, and then I just googled the first image I found.

The second pic looks sensational, do you have the ref no. Of that speedmaster?

Top photo : Schumacher Legend Red Dial collection LE
I'm recalling only from memory but I think that's Ref 3506.61 Cal 3301

It must be because I know Ref 3507.51 is the "Bastardized " reverse panda Omega Schumacher-Paul Newman Speedmaster .I made that Up ok! It's a mouthful but the Speedmaster font is printed in Red. Sorry Sir.0nly the caseback is engraved in lacquered red. No Date in Red EXCEPT another unique Omega watch..........

I know the answer but let's give the Big Boys here a chance....
( Clue: It's worth little over a grand more than Ref 116660 DSSD black dial )

Just letting you people know a poor helpless defenseless girl like Megan can really kick some A$$ around here !
