I recently lost my Cartier Santos. My insurance has paid out a £7500 gift card. What watch should I use to buy with it?

I own an Milgauss, Omega speed master racing and a Rolex Cellini dual time. I’ve never been a big fan of dive watches as I’m a dreadful swimmer. I don’t want to buy another santos (maybe a dumont?).

Maybe something on rubber?

    Grand Seiko. That is, if you care more about impressing yourself than others !

    Personally, I’d go for either the Zenith sport chronograph someone else linked, a Glashutte Original Sixties with the amazing green dial (if one is available, I don’t know the stock of WFS… and it’s not from Switzerland), or - and this is my personal taste - save up for a bit and get on the AD’s list for a blue-dial Yachtmaster. I know you said you don’t dig divers, but that platinum bezel on the blue dial is just chef’s kiss stunning in person.
