I’m looking for watch recommendations around $1k USD for a graduation gift for a male family member. Preferably something that would hold its value decently and has a more timeless clean look. I’d appreciate any recommendations on brands/styles. He has a smaller frame so maybe a 36mm at the largest. I was looking at the Movado Series 800s and the Bulova Archives. Just not sure on value retention or overall quality.
I’d recommend anything from Hamilton or Seiko
