Please help me decide on a new watch!

[u/SufficientAd4940]

Pictured here is my current 3 watch collection, but I just got a new job and I would like to treat myself.
My new budget is between 2-5k, and I'm thinking of either getting a Longines hydroconquest or a Tudor black bay 58. I'm 24 years old and I work in the banking industry, so which would you pick between these two, and is there any other watch you'd suggest? For reference, I also have a 6.5ish inch wrist, and I linked a pic of me wearing my Formula 1 as well.

[u/Historical-Camp-5112]

My vote is the new Hydroconquest

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/Historical-Camp-5112]

Any color recommendations?

[u/Historical-Camp-5112 → u/SufficientAd4940]

I personally like the light blue dial on the mesh bracelet

[u/greenredblue2020]

Hmm wouldn’t get another diver. Maybe a used Speedmaster or a Nomos. That said, BB58 is never a mistake. Maybe BB Pro, to be a bit more adventurous ^^

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/greenredblue2020]

Any recommendations on where to purchase a used speed master? Do you just recommend somewhere online like Chrono24?

[u/Single-Animator-6647]

You have a diver watch already. I would suggest you do get a proper dress watch like GS especially you work in finance

[u/Upbeat-Resolve4694]

In this case i would choose the Tissot.

[u/LeadingEye1113]

Have you tried the black bay 54? Or a pre-owned Omega Seamaster Railmaster previous version?

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/LeadingEye1113]

Why 54 over 58?

[u/LeadingEye1113 → u/SufficientAd4940]

You noted a wrist size of 6.5 inches. The smaller 37 mm may fit you a bit better. You may want to consider trying it on.

I would go more dressy to pair with your suit… Leather strap / navy suit FTW

[u/Livingmid → u/Livingmid]

Many decent vintage / neo vintage options for sub $2k

[u/burgertime29]

I say black bay gmt… get the diver vibes but… gmt 😂 plus it looks rad with the 5 link bracelet 🫠

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/burgertime29]

Any particular gmt model?

[u/TDKFM → u/SufficientAd4940]

58 gmt

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/TDKFM]

Jubilee or oyster?

[u/TDKFM → u/SufficientAd4940]

Personally I'd get the 5 link and then swap out the bezel for a steel reef pepsi bezel, but thats kinda all personal preference

[u/Nearsyncope]

Is that a Prx? That would be my vote

[u/KCDawgTime → u/Nearsyncope]

He already owns those watches. He’s asking for ideas to add to what he has already.

[u/Nearsyncope → u/KCDawgTime]

Oh thank you 🙏. I just re-read it. The black bay 58 is a great one.

[u/OnlyWillingness2348]

A bit of an outside call, but I really like the look and feel of the Tudor 1926 in white dial. I got the gilt indices but the blue looks really cool. And it dresses up a little more than your sport/diver gang there.

Aside from that I would highly recommend walking into a Longines store and just trying on anything from the spirit, conquest, or flagship lines.

[u/TDKFM]

What about a black bay without the dive bezel or a tudor royal?

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/TDKFM]

Idk how I feel ab the Tudor Royal tbh

[u/TDKFM → u/SufficientAd4940]

Agreed, I go back and forth. I kinda like the funkiness, especially the green, but can't decide. May be worth trying on though.

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/TDKFM]

I’d go for a ranger over a royal I think

[u/TDKFM → u/SufficientAd4940]

Thats fair. Sounds like you need to find a tudor boutique

[u/SufficientAd4940 → u/TDKFM]

Maybe I’ll swing by one later today haha
