I thought in a recent post you talked about NEEDING to sell watches for financial reasons.

And I have but would like to keep a day date to use as an everyday watch. Thanks for keeping on top of my we watch behavior.

 

You are very welcome. We now must address your spelling, grammar, and framing... (JK)

Anyway, how about similar but not the same in Damasko. They have many day date models with both rotating and solid bezel. They range 1000 - 1800 New

 

Indeed a Damasko would be an excellent choice. Also check out Ball watches.

 

I've been looking for an automatic day-date watch for a couple of years in this price range. I find a day indicator very useful on a watch. I recently got an Epos Passion 3410 since I wanted something more dressy with an annular rather than radial day display. In case it helps, below is a list of other options I seriously considered in my search:

Muhle Glashutte 29er Tag/Datum
Orient Defender 2 (cheaper and more field watch / casual style)
Seiko SARD011 (dressy with urushi lacquer dial and retrograde displays)
Mido Ocean Star (dive watch)
Sinn 104 (probably would have got one expect I've got another Sinn with a similar case design)

I hope you have fun with your search since there are heaps great options.

 

Search for watches with an ETA 2836-2. This is probably not what you are looking for but it is my "day-date" watch with that movement ...

 

 

Exactly where I was at. Lots of color options with a great reliable movement etc. Thanks

Have been looking at the Tudor but really didn't like the look. Looking at the black though changes the look entirely. Beautiful!!

You can find a first gen Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra for less than 2k.

Love Omega and love those but have one ansb

Probably too cheap for you but the Tissot Visodate is a remote option. Black or white dial.

Love Swatch Group brands and whatever anyone says about Tissot etc they can't be beat for price. I've seen Tissot watches

Probably too cheap for you but the Tissot Visodate is a remote option. Black or white dial.

Yes, Tissot and Certina. You can't beat what you get with Swatch Group brands. I've seen 3 hand Tissot watches for $199 + with ETA movements. Thanks

I think most options have already been suggested, so I'll throw you a cut fastball. GMW-B5000TB with day, date, AND month!

I like ATs, but it doesn't have a day wheel.

 

Any modern Seiko turtle or Seiko 5. With your budget, you can even get a few different variations to color up your life.

 

Oris does lots of Day/Dates, such as the TT1 (both black and blue shown) and the Culture (among others). And, as noted, so does Ball--here's their Cleveland Express (there many differ dial colors for this one, including black, gray (shown), blue and silver)

.

 

Maybe Baume & Mercier Clifton? I don't know if this exact model is still in production, but if it is I think it should be around 2k price range.

 

Anything with a Valjoux 7750 base with day/date would be a great option. The IWC pilots chronograph might be out of you budget, but how about the Sinn 356? A more budget friendly option would be a Hamilton Khaki Auto Chronograph 38mm

 

Something JDM perhaps like Citizen or Seiko?

 

I was thinking of a Damasko too.

 

Probably too cheap for you but the Tissot Visodate is a remote option. Black or white dial.

 

Cant go wrong with a Tudor!

 

Check out Fortis, they have lots of day dates.

Mido Multifort or Tag Heuer Carrera Calibre 5 maybe?

 

that Hamilton looks awesome!

 

Been selling off some watches and realized my most useful well liked watch was my Sinn 104. Would like to get another Day/Date watch that's not a Rolex and not over 2K or in the ballpark. Can go back to Sinn 104 but would like to try something else. Any ideas would be greatly. View attachment 15533229

I have a Fortis Spacematic that has the day and date that I like. It would fall within your budget and is very legible, which is why I tend to wear it on the plane when I used to have to fly for work. Since Covid, it doesn't really see any wrist time though.
