Looking for Advice

What country are you in?

These are all super common references and you can get a good one from forum members for a much better price, as long as you don't have huge import duties or VAT. I just sold a bunch of watches that would have been perfect for you for a fraction of the price you would pay to that dealer. It's true that he sells good watches, but I still think there's no reason to pay 2x or 3x the fair market value.

We’re, generally, all collectors and some of us have a few.

Like any enthusiasts, we have different opinions so, these are mine.

First, you need to focus on which type of watch you think your husband will wear. Gold or gold capped/plated tend to look a little dated nowadays. Stainless steel, IMO, is wearable with a suit or with jeans and that’s my first suggestion.

The Omega Geneve is lovely but Geneves are, generally, not much sought after. They’re generally a little cheaper and are sometimes referred to as 'entry level', although they share the same movements as seamasters.

I find the pie pan dial of the Constellation you show a little old fashioned and, dare I say it, a little contrived for this day and age.

I like the other two but it’s not really what I like. You’ll have to narrow down your choices and share with us your planned budget
