Its time to make my two watch collection a three watch collection; i have a few ideas where to go but wanted to see if there are any suggestions out there i may not have covered.

Appreciate the input!

A Grand Seiko perhaps?

 

[J-T-C]

i have to get into a boutique and see them in person some time soon - always found the spring drive appealing

There’s so many options maybe you should give us a few ideas of what it is you want. Otherwise we could be suggesting a super dressy watch when in fact you’re thinking a rugged outdoor waterproof watch etc etc.

So, budget is around £7-8k i am
more leaning towards the sportier end of the spectrum, but ideally something that could be put on a leather strap and look smart.

Should also point out i’m open to the budget cover 2 new watches, say a Tudor bb58 and a GS SBGW231.

There is an IWC missing – an Ingenieur 3227-01 maybe.

 

[BaksteenNL]

I would say there is a dress watch missing. Maybe a JLC reverso

I also think a GS could fit as the third watch. The new slga007 is a favorite of mine. Comfortable, stylish and with the new spring drive movement.

Maybe start with something with a dial color other than black. A diver or a sports three hander with date. You have many choices in the price range suggested from Rolex, Omega, and GS.

You seem to be drawn to iconic classics, I would say the new 44GS LE tribute SGBW047 if you can acquire one, or one of the Snowflake GSs out there. Then of course you will need a 4th at some point, a diver That would make a complete suite in my book, all bases covered horologically speaking.

With that budget…I would go with 3 opinions

I will put my name on a Rolex AD for a DJ 41

Buy a Cartier Santos (it already comes with an extra leather strap)

Get an Omega Aqua Terra on bracelet + matching strap and deployant clasp

 

[JSnipes]

Something dressy perhaps

 

[munizfire]

Gonna stick with the popular choices. In no particular order.
Glashutte
Grand Seiko
Maybe a Reverso or a Santos?

I like the idea of BB58 and SBGW231. You can put that GS on bracelet for sportier and it looks good too. But would you really wear BB58? Maybe look at BB58 in blue? Cartier Santos is nice too.

 

[predapio]

You've got two grails that most people want. Try something different. GO or Reverso come to mind

 

[triwater]

I tend to agree with a reverso (if you can pull it off, unfortunately I cannot), or another JLC, Polaris maybe? Or look at GO, or, often overlooked, Girard Perregaux. Some versatility in both lineups.

Good luck, and let us know which direction you go.

Agree with Cartier Santos

 

[J-T-C]

Thanks for the input - i’m inclined to agree with most of the comments, i love JLC as a brand but just not sure i could see myself wearing a reverso . BB58 in blue seems like a easy option but maybe to predictable, although i like the idea of using the ready of the budget to play around with more dressy options, has anyone got hands on with the new cartier tank must?

 

[AAMC]

, has anyone got hands on with the new cartier tank must?

I’ve tried, liked it but didn’t loved it… probably because I was trying a Santos also and was blown away by it
