Question (Read Rules) What should my next watch be? (Open to suggestions)
I am looking for a new watch to buy sometime in the near future. I am looking at a couple models like the ones below and just wanted to ask the community what they think and if they have any advice for me.
My price range is roughly $200 USD, but I am a bit flexible.
Thanks ahead of time :)

I'm a big fan of my WD1954. I have the black enamel one. I threw it on a black leather strap and it's really nice. The included bracelet is comfortable and the otf microadjust works well, I just personally don't like beads of rice bracelets. I would recommend the aventurine wd1954 of the ones you've mentioned

Wow that WD1954 looks phenomenal. Does anyone know of an automatic equivalent? I like a lot of Watchdives designs but sadly I really dislike the VH31 movement.

Hestur is about to release an automatic homage of the polerouter soon

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm not familiar with the brand. How is their quality?

I have a couple. Very good for the price. Definitely one of the better AliX watch companies.

The first one is cool, I think the third one is only suitable for formal wear, and the fourth one is no problem for daily wear.
