·Hi y'all
Since I'll be graduating next semester, I'm planning on getting my first expensive watch. I've been thinking about my watch set-up, and this is the idea that I have:
- I own a Dan Henry 1962 quartz watch, that I use with a nato strap. This is my reliable (hence quartz) watch that I use in situations such as traveling, partying, etc.
- I also own an Orient Bambino 36mm in gold trims. This is my dress watch. I plan to upgrade this to a +/- 36mm vintage omega later on, and will create a whole other thread about this in the future.
- I'm now looking to get an (automatic?) everyday chronograph, which I would use at work and other regular occasions. This would be my main driver, so I'm planning to invest some money in it.
I'm currenty looking at the following watches, so any opinions, red flags, experiences and such would be much appreciated! Other alternative suggestions are useful as well, ofcourse!
1) Tissot Heritage 1948
2) Junghans Max Bill chronoscope
3) Hamilton intra-matic chronograph
Please note that my regular clothing includes classic shirts and leather shoes. I also love to write with fountain pens, so I'm quite into the tasteful vintage kind-of-style!
I wouldn't mind buying used or from the grey market, if the condition is very nice and if it's reliable 😀
Thanks, and best regards from Belgium!
