My watch collecting uncle just passed and left me a small inheritance. I’m looking to get my two sons a watch to remember him by. Oldest: 25, outgoing, stylish, beginning to collect (has a Breitling, Omega, and Tudor). Youngest: 21, quiet, poor college kid with a Fossil but interested in more. Looking to spend $1k or under. Thanks!

Certina new / second-hand would be a good option for a younger one.
If new then Traska, Baltic, and Farer. I’m your older son’s age and have a similar collection and I’m eyeing a Farer as my next piece. The fun designs and color ways means it’s not meant to directly “compete” with some of the more expensive pieces he owns. If they’re into fliegers could also check out Stowa and Laco these are very cool and the brands have cool histories.
If used you could find some Nomos or Monta watches in that range.
Mido Ocean Star GMT. It can be found for less than $900.
