The Vostok is like 350 euro's and I'd only buy a watch like that if I was really in love with it. Just getting started with watches really, I bought this 60 euro Davis as my first watch 2 years ago and ever since I've just really liked the feel of wearing a watch.

It fell face down after it got stuck trying to get something out my backpack while cycling

So I'm tentatively looking for an upgrade but I'm not making much headway despite kind of knowing what I want. (Black/ dark dial, preferably just time no dates etc , leather strap, not too fat but with a comparatively large dial).

Edit: found this, not sure, looks practically identical for more money.

probably more like 1.5x i think at current prices? i bought mine like 5 years ago

The iconic Nomos models like Tangente/Tangomat/Orion are around 2k, don't Portofinos start at 5k or so?

Hey all I'm looking to buy a new (steel) watch. Shooting for around ~$2000. Any good suggestions?

I prefer elegance and simplicity, so I've bought in December 2012. About 1300 Euro.

I would never buy a mechanical watch. I want a watch that is actually accurate.

The Portuguese is one of the most iconic chronographs out but i cant get rid of the niggling in my head that's asking how much i'm willing to pay for a 7750.

I think the omega planet oceans starts at around 2k, and thats a beautiful steel watch in my opinion.

you're never going to find a recent PO for 2k unless it's in thoroughly used condition

I only made a quick sweep on chrono24 and there were a few rank 1 condition at 2k euro, which is slighgtly over 2k usd. Rank 1 is usually great condition afaik.

might be POs from 5-10 years ago (it debuted 2005 or something). which is fine as long as it's in great condition and serviced properly. not bad for 2k actually.

One was a 2012 I think, and people generally take decent care of watches in this pricerange so shouldnt be all that bad. But yeah you never know buying used.

hey,

before i get hyped by whatever brands, i thought id ask first - what would be a good quality watch for jogging, that can gather some distance information by gps and prefferably is also waterproof; and ideally not a brick, something light

thanks

Bought a Triwa, it's not what I had previously imagined I wanted, but I'm really digging it.

Are you looking for a watch solely for running? Maybe some other thread would suit more for that. (sports forum-running?)
Though I only have experience with the Garmin Forerunner 305. Bought it in used condition for 50EUR. New ones are quite pricy. I really would recommend it.
Could be an overkill for you since it's a little bit larger and it has features you didn't mention like heart pulse rate or displaying the height of the terrain.
