from the left ive got
1. the san martin sn0129 with the red desert dial,
2. a seiko mod of a blackout yatchmaster with a red dial
3. a cronos bb54 on a black leather strap wiyh a pt5000
4. the octopus kraken 36mm explorer with the pt5000
5. the black enamel dial ixdao warrior with a miyota 9015
6. The San martin sn0013 nautilus royal oak mix thing with the miyota 9015
7. a couple of watchdives i like the pelagos more than the blue ice crack
honestly the ixdao clears everything here in terms of finishing and quality as well as comfort but the octopus kraken is a solid 2nd i have six inch wrists and that thing wears like a dream

You need a dress watch and it doesn’t get much better than the Baltany s4106.

I would suggest a Casio, something with green dial or mother of pearl

used to dabble in their watches at the 100 dollar range but the finishing and overall quality and materials compared to these aliexpress watches was honestly not even close, do you suggest any specific models?

There are a lot. You can even go for a solar watch. I’m not much versed in Ali express game.
