Favorite watch under $1000 USD?
For me, it's absolutely the Baltic Aquascaphe.

It's an amazing Microbrand, and the level of finishing and detail in my view are that of a much more expensive watch.

I'm also waiting on the MR01 Micro Rotor from Baltic that should be coming in late this month.

CWC G10 - good enough for NATO, and plenty of change from $1k

So it is on order from Chronext but I was able to get a Nomos Club Campus - I think they are so unbelievably clean and good looking.

There are a few independents that look interesting. I especially like Direnzo. But, a few others…

Even on a strap. Bracelet is more. But agree, a great pilot watch.

Am in the honeymoon phase, yet really nice 50m WP rated and has both a metal bracelet and leather strap for ~$700. Accuracy is very good too.

That's a very cool watch!

For me, it's my Glycine Airman 24 hour watch in rose gold. Understated, comfortable. Feeds my obsession with GMT and Worldtimers. It used to be my travel watch but since retired to the box.
