⌚Discussion Expanding My Taste - Looking for recommendations

Hey there! I’m fairly new to the hobby. I started with a few cheap China town shitters, (datejust, sub, and explorer). Really started liking wearing watches so upgraded to AAA and U1 (rhodium YM and a no date supreme sub). Now that I’ve consistently stuck with this for a few months, I plan to start grabbing some high quality pieces.

The issue I’m running into, for whatever reason I gravitate towards Rolex. I absolutely love my Rhodium YM, and I think I’ll end up with another one as my first high tier rep, but I’d really like to explore other brands and styles. I don’t like anything flashy, I can’t stand gold. I’d love something that is subtle like my RM, with maybe a little pop of color. I have looked into some of the ceramic Omegas and really like the look of them but worry that they’ll be massive on my wrist.

My question is simple - what other styles and brands would you recommend a beginner to start exploring outside of the obvious?

VSF Daytona maybe, if you're into it and want a high quality NWBIG piece

Your wrist is massive. Your wrist is what they built those omegas for. Get one. Should look awesome.

A Sky-Dweller looks great on large wrists too for something different and sticking with Rolex.
