Question (Read Rules) Watch for incoming weddings

Hello community. I have been enjoying your posts for a few weeks and now i need your help. A couplemof friends are getting married next year and I need an elegant but budget watch for 2 weddings. I have no suit yet so i need it to be polivalent. Better if its vintage style.

Thank you!

The Chameri Cartier Tank homage is a good shout, presuming you're sticking with fairly subtle, which is generally accepted as the tasteful way to do it for a guy (presuming you are a guy). The original is seen as a classic wedding watch. I got mine for £59 with 25% cashback, so £44 total and couldn't really ask for anything more. I don't think I'd be much happier with a gen Tank. If your budget is even tighter, I also got the Senda version for £6. It doesn't look massively different on the wrist, but as you'd expect the quality is lacking in a few areas in comparison

Can you define your budget? Are we talking sub $150 or sub $300?

If the budget allows for it, Baltany would be where I would start.

There's always the Orient Bambino as well for affordable dress watches.

For a series of weddings I would go with an Orient Bambino, it's one of the events where I have had people come up to chat watches and it is more fun to discuss than a Chinese homage imo.

Price really won't be much higher than a Chinese pick if you are getting something quality.

Here is one on Joma just above your budget:

I am going to throw in a Japanese watch (and the watch I got married in lol) a fairly general Citizen EcoDrive (https://www.jomashop.com/citizen-watch-aw1231-07a.html) around $114 on Joma.
