Hi Reddit

As mentioned in the title I’m looking for watch recommendations for my 30th birthday gift.

I already own a Casio A158W and an Orient Bambino. But for this occasion I want to step it up into a more luxury timepiece.

I’m looking for a GADA watch that is at the same time an interesting design showing craftsmanship but also isn’t screaming to everyone looking at it « look at me, I’m expensive ».

Understated GADA watch with good quality and comfortable bracelet is what I’m looking at. Wrist size is 6.75 inches so I’m looking for the 38 to 42 mm case range.

Friends and family are putting together some money so I can buy something, I don’t know exactly how much it will be but I’m willing to add myself some money to the pot so it reaches around $2k - $2.5k.

Models that caught my eye are :

  • Tudor BB58
  • Sinn 556I
  • Sinn 104
  • Seiko SPB143
  • Seiko SPB383
  • Oris Aquis
  • Oris Diver 64
  • Longines Zulu Time

I live in a city that doesn’t have sinn AD so unfortunately I cannot try one on beforehand.

Any advice or recommendations

Thanks
