A number of gentlemen on this forum have a love of watches, and I wonder if I might prevail upon them (and others) for their recommendations.
I would like to buy a special watch for a special occasion. I have an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra (automatic movement) and would like something equivalent*. I would wear the watch interchangeably with my Omega as an everyday watch, and would probably stick to a similarly simple enduring styling.
Please feel free to share your thoughts, whether mainstream makers or less well-known craftsmen. I suspect this will be very helpful for me but fun for a fair few others.
Thanks
* I should explain the reference to 'equivalent': my intention is to gift my watches to my sons when they turn 18 or 21 (or whenever they get their first job and are capable of respecting the timepiece). Cost is not so much the measure of equivalence so much as quality, though I suspect some element of balance between these two would be inevitable.
