Best Watch to Buy for Young Professionals

What's the best watch for a guy in the above age range?

Tag Heuer is a bit juvenile, I remember a few friends in highschool who had one.

Breitling are too big and ostentatious (due to their large size).

Montblanc are cool, but it's a pen company, not a watch company.

My picks are: Omega Seamster, Rolex Air Master, can't think of any others (help me out please)

Can anyone educate me about how to choose a decent watch, not a cheap-o one, but nothing over 5K.

respectable budget watch brands

The task of purchasing a professional watch can be daunting and our users shared their experiences and their preferred brands below.

User @LdnMezz", a private equity analyst, shared that users should stay away from big heavy watches:

LdnMezz - Private Equity Analyst:
Agree. Get away from the cliched Rolex/Omega big heavy watch with metal straps, go with a classy watch such as IWC, Baume, Audemars Piguet or even a Panerai. You'll have to get the lower end of the range, but still, you're on the ladder. Or, get a Rolex or Omega but not the standard one's everyone buys.

You can see a basic Baume watch here.

morespinach:
IWC's Portuguese line or B&M or Nomos. Rolex' Cellini has some clean models too, just stay away from the Datejust gold-silver big-dial crap that belongs on a corn farm. Or if you can swing it, even Piaget Antiplano or Jaeger's Master Ultra Thin are the watches to covet in a dressy environment; understated yet super classy..

To the OP: Nomos may be your good bet, or Longines with clean slim lines.

sonyhdna:
You really can’t go wrong with a basic rolex. Anyone who gives you shit because it's cliche is an idiot. No one who really appreciates watches will ever talk shit about a rolex, if you want to stand out, get a vintage one, good talking point.

AT - Investment Banking Analyst:
I obviously do not have the same tastes as no one mentioned it, but I think I would go for Jaeger's 1931 classic Reverso (around 2,5k if it's not gold), or the "Grande" version (bigger: a,!4k i think).

OP User @net worth or nothing" shared their final choice:

net worth or nothing:
I like the Cartier Santos, it's at the top end of my budget at 4900. Thanks for the comments, i've taken a look at the panerai, iwc, and those are great watches but definitely out of my range. in particular, the iwc portugese is exceptional.

Below you can see a picture of a mid-range Cartier Santos watch.

Mate, it sounds like you have a lot more problems to worry about that sounding like a 'douche.' Get comfortable with yourself; understand that a watch, car or suit doesn't define you; and then you'll be a man, my son...

I agree that the material shell of a person is only one aspect, now focus on watches, don't comment again unless it's positive feedback on timepieces.

I have to agree here...you specifically pointed out "expensive", not high quality, not nice, etc...but expensive. That makes it sound as if you care more about the name or having people see that you can 'afford' the name than you want a quality timepiece.

Note that I am NOT saying that is actually what you want, but that it comes across that way, so newbie's comments are justified.

Anyways, do a search for "watch" or "timepiece" here on WSO and look through those threads (there should be a couple). Personally, I'm very picky about the things I like, especially something I would be spending up to $5k on, so I would suggest going through those threads and just picking out the names of the watch brands and then going to the company website and seeing what strikes your fancy. After you gather a handful of potential candidates, find a jeweler near by and go see them in person to figure out if you like the size, shape, etc...plus you can probably get some good advice from the sales people there about watches that look similar, etc.

Also, there is nothing wrong with your "run-of-the-mill" Rolex or Omega...they are popular for a reason. I'm not a fan of being like everybody else, but I also don't understand some people's incessant need to go out of the way to be "unique" (as others have encouraged you to do). Good luck.

baume mercier makes some good watches in that price range, omega's another good bet.

I like the IWC Portugese but thats a bit pricey.

Agree. Get away from the cliched Rolex/Omega big heavy watch with metal straps, go with a classy watch such as IWC, Baume, Audemars Piguet or even a Panerai. You'll have to get the lower end of the range, but still, you're on the ladder. Or, get a Rolex or Omega but not the standard one's everyone buys.

 

"Get away from the cliched Rolex/Omega big heavy watch with metal straps, go with a classy watch such as IWC, Baume, Audemars Piguet or even a Panerai. "

Old thread, but came here via Google looking for something similar. You were spot-on until Piguet, but Panerai? Really? With its made-for-the-blind big size numerals and strange semi-square shapes? No cigar.

IWC's Portuguese line or B&M or Nomos. Rolex' Cellini has some clean models too, just stay away from the Datejust gold-silver big-dial crap that belongs on a corn farm. Or if you can swing it, even Piaget Antiplano or Jaeger's Master Ultra Thin are the watches to covet in a dressy environment; understated yet super classy..

Grow a peepee, then you won't have to worry about spending $5K on a watch...

I would have assumed that this type of comment would have come sooner, congratulations prick. You confirm the mean reversion which typifies every single topic on this great website.

If you want to be the guy who buys their suits as Mens Wearhouse, has a ironman triathlon watch from the 90's, drives an old ragtop SAAB in the N'East, go ahead buddy.

If you like and want nice things, it doesn't HAVE to be based on some desire to impress or be impressed. Things have to seen in context.

I would also have assumed it would come from someone with a name like "newbie2banking" who probably had his parents buy him his watch given their poor darling is still in uni...

 

agree the pasha is a sick watch, and it comes in so many different options it's unreal. If you get one of those you can easily switch between the metal strap and a black or brown leather strap, I believe they have some mechanism in the band that makes it super simple to change.

the most popular rolex in general (besides the classic daytona stainless steel white or black face which is pretty much impossible to get and out of your price range) is the submariner, much classier than the air king.

you guys are talking about these great watches, IWC, Panerai etc, but he said he needs something under 5k, if you really know about those watches you'll know its almost impossible to find one in that price range.

you really cant go wrong with a basic rolex. anyone who gives you shit because it's cliche is an idiot. no one who really appreciates watches will ever talk shit about a rolex, if you want to stand out, get a vintage one, good talking point.

personally, I am lucky enough to have a truly amazing watch collection for someone my age, but im saving up fora ZENITH, now those are some sick sick sick watches.

 
PaloAlto8:
I like the cartier leather band, square face...but i cant remember the name offhand. (yes im not in the real world yet, another "uni" but I too like nice things!)

sounds like the santos

yup thats right...that watch is pure class and baller status at once

 

Interesting topic - I think 1000 should be the max first year and then kick it up second year - although my MD noticed my Tissot and was pretty impressed even though it was max $800

 

do you guys think that the non-chrono white roadster really looks as good as the chrono roadster?

i feel like that totally changes the character of the watch

 

Whatever the brand,you should look for a chronograph.

Tag Heuer Link Chrono or Tag Heuer Monaco Chrono are suited to your budget...90% of the watches cited on this thread are far over your budget.

Montblanc may be a pen company,but trust me they are getting respected in the watch industry as well..and the chrono they do is really nice.

 

I got the Tag Heuer Link Chrono for my 18th bday a few years ago, it was like $2500, great watch at a pretty decent price, but the next one im getting is definetly the cartier pasha

jj80-dont waste money on a non-chrono, you always have to go for the chrono, it definetly changes the character of the watch

 

I obviously do not have the same tastes as no one mentionned it, but I think I would go for Jaeger's 1931 classic Reverso (around €2,5k if it's not gold), or the "Grande" version (bigger: €4k i think).

One of my VP has one, and it does look good.

 

I like the Cartier Santos, it's at the top end of my budget at 4900. Thanks for the comments, i've taken a look at the panerai, iwc, and those are great watches but definately out of my range. in particular, the iwc portugese is exceptional.

Does anyone really know if you can 'bargain' for a watch, or is purchasing a watch different than say purchasing a car where bargaining is the norm. I definately will buy it at the authorized retailer so i want to know how to work the situation.

thanks in advance.

 

I also loved the IWC Portuguese. Longines makes an extremely similar watch (which I got for graduation - awesome watch) for around 2500-3000.

http://www.longines.com/eng/html_longines/Watches/longines_mastercollec… It is the last watch on the page (scroll right).

The only difference is price and positioning of the chrono dials. If I am not mistaken, they both use the same eta movement. (can't be sure of this, definitely second hand knowledge).

Come bonus time I want to get a Rolex submariner two tone with the blue dial (~5500). It seems like everyone has one for a reason, they are spectacular and look incredible. As it was said before, anyone who looks down on rolex is a douche. They literally invented the wristwatch.

 

Analyst: Dont waste your money on snazzy watches. I had a $200 Fossil and still got compliments.

Associate: Rolex Oyster Perpetual...classic.

Big Swinging Dick: Patek Philippe

And if you weigh 90lbs, dont get some huge watch, even if it is in style.

 

check out www.nixonnow.com

They're a somewhat smaller company (in comparison to fossil, tag, or rolex) based in Southern California that was born out of the surfing community. The majority of their watches are around $200. Though the pricier ones are up to around $1400. Anyways, if you look in the 300 range they are exceptionally classy and they won't break your wallet. And if anything happens to it, they'll fix it for free.

 

I dont personally know of any VP's with Patek Philippe watches. They are spendy, even for a BB VP.

Rolex makes more watches in a year than Patek Philippe has made in its entire company history.

Pretty rare. It's a status symbol.

 

Schumacher.

Nice point about the Patek's being produced in small batches. I think the majority of buyers are collectors (go to www.timezone.com). Also, on that website, the patek forum is actually monitored by an investment banker, this dude gets interviewed for watch mags b.c. his collection is worth millions)

I would love to see a kid bust out a 50,000 dollar watch one of these days.

 

Yeah, 50K is a lot to drop on a watch, even if you are Carlos Slim.

I've seen a lot of PP watches in the 25-30K range which is probably doable (albeit an investment) for your typical Bulge Bracket VP

I love the vintage PP watches from the late 40s early 50s. Very classy, and will never go out of syle.

 

I've got a flavr flav clock. It is a very subtle way of telling people in a meeting, "Yes, I'm talented and bright, but I keeps it real"

I wear an omega and it ran around 2500. I like it and people tend to notice it while I am not viewed as a show off. I wanted a Rolex but was not looking to pay 2x. The c. santos is very nice and I got one for my b day and have found that women tend to to notice it a lot. I think the omega and rolex are good buys for spending less then 5k. While others may have the same one how many people do you know that drive a 5 series or SF shoes? People are going to buy those things.

 

I was trying to say that with certain goods many people will have the same thing. The shoes I have on are worn by a lot of finance types. The car I drive is driven by a lot of people. Will be no different with suits,watch etc etc. Under 5k is not enough to buy a watch that is produced in limited supply as buying a car under 65k is the same issue.

I completely agree with you.

 

Some like to spend money on watches, some don't. Each to his own.

As for myself. I will get a Cartier 21 Chronoscaph when I can afford it. Kicks ass without being too expensive nor showy.

This might not help the OP.

Even though my parents gave my a Rolex I wear a yellow Swatch.

It is not for everyone, I still get odd looks sometimes...

Buy something that fits your style.

 
MarginCalling:
how do I get my friends to give me a Rolex instead of a gift card? actually their taste wouldn't be good enough and i'd probably still use my cell phone clock

After you get out of college (or highschool) then maybe your friends will be more financially savvy and generous enough to buy you a nice gift.

 

you have to pick a watch that shows taste and class, but you can't be out of place. if a new analyst joined the desk with a new audy P, i would probably think he was a tool (think of the interns who show up with huge golden cufflinks). breitlings are too large and actually not that great among watch conoisseurs, i'm not sure but i don't believe they even manufacture their own movements. everyone tends to go for watches that display some type of outdoorsmanship/professional watches, i.e. omega seamaster, rolex submariner, etc. so it's become a bit of a cliche (in my opinion) to wear a big clunky titanium-encrusted super waterproof watch for yachting. also, get something appropriate to your pay level. you could spend your entire bonus on a vintage patek phillippe, and get laughed at. one of my first watches at work was a simple stainless steel swiss army chronograph with a black strap, it got tons of interest and compliments and when they look closer they see it's a simple, cheap, APPROPRIATE watch. THEN you get paid some more, and LATER you get the IWC portuguese or aquatimer or whatever.

 

I wouldn't buy a watch that costs more than $1000 even if I were really rich....I ALWAYS end up losing them. ALWAYS.

Nah, on that context, I'll just go to Macy's and buy a $100 one, if that, if I made $60k a year and had to buy a watch. Otherwise, I'll just rely on my cellphone and/or iPod. I'm going to lose it in a few months anyway. One of the ways I justify not buying things like watches.....I always lose them. I already lost my third watch since high school, and I'm only a freshman in college.

But wallets are different, net worth. You have your ID, driver's license, credit cards, debit cards, frequent flyer cards, insurance card, CASH, and whatever else you keep in there. God forbid you lose your wallet, I'd go into epileptic shock if I were to lose my wallet. And I'm not even epileptic. And then become calm and collected enough to call Chase, Chase Card Services, and Discover to cancel my credit and debit cards. Then call BlueCross and report my insurance card lost. Not to mention call the CA DMV and report my driver's license lost. Frequent flyer miles...so what? I barely have enough to get one domestic ticket, and blackout dates are when I need to fly, always. Then find that my wallet was sitting under my bed or some stupid shit like that.

My dad got a coach wallet as a gift and he gave it to me because he already had one. He got one of those sets with a belt and wallet and he gave me both. Lost the belt, still have the wallet.

"We are lawyers! We sue people! Occasionally, we get aggressive and garnish wages, but WE DO NOT ABDUCT!" -Boston Legal-
 

So i'm a first year analyst, and my dad wants to get me a really nice watch as a graduation present (a little late i know). the watches he has mentioned are in the 6k-8k range. while id really like a watch that nice, my gut instinct is to tell him that i cant pull off that nice a watch as a first year. am i crazy or should i let him get me the watch?

 

So what if you just joined a desk and you also just inherited a vintage Patek from your great grand father? Its very functional, very understated (their most basic calatrava model) and just a beautiful, classic design. So would you be considered a tool for turning up to work with one on your wrist?

"God takes care of old folks and fools, while the Devil takes care of makin all the rules", P.E. 1998
 

if it's an understated calatrava then imo it should be fine. I'd wear it if I had one :)

fuckit_all, as a first year analyst I would rather have my dad give me gift money then spend it on some awesome watch. But if its understated like hayabusa's Cala then it would be fine I think...

just for kicks...

my watch: Casio G-Shock Atomic Solar Power Black Force ($120) my pen: Parker Urban Performance Ballpoint ($20)

 

To everyone who is responding... I should have edited my initial topic... My current budget is $10,000

For a watch.............................................

I am a big fan of the Hublot Big Bang 'Ice Bang' The JLC Master Geography (Very sweet watch) Zenith El Primero Rolex Sub Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar in Platinum (wait, its 100K, over my budget)

Tell me your favorites?

Later.

 

Net Worth, based off the watches on your list I have a pretty good idea of what your style is, I suggest you take a serious look at the, "Audemars Piguet-Offshore Royal Oak" It's a little more classy and understated than the "Big Bang" and it has more complications and a higher ranking. Every year Audemars is right there with, Patek Philippe, Breguet, and Vachenron Constantin.

 

Can you insure these expensive watches? There's a 99.9% chance I'd lose watches....I lost three already before I gave up and started using my cellphone for time.

Just curious.

Oh wait, haha you can't insure them against loss. The only way to do that is to not buy one lol

I-banker2007:
This is the most toolish thread ever. If you are going to buy a watch, buy a watch. Don't look for justification or approval from other people.

Do you think I don't have a watch... your intelligence must be fairly low.

I'm fostering discussion, trying to get others opinion. I created this random thread a while ago, and seen it grow. You are one of the 'douche/tool/loser' types that love to throw senseless opinions around, to agitate for no reason, and to continue your pathetic march towards tomfoolery. Now, get off my thread.

"I pity the i-banker 2007 fool"

 

I agree, I saw the Rolex Air King in a GQ or Esquire... one of those classic, but elegant articles.

I've looked more at Rolex, but can't really get into the more high end daytona's,etc. although at first they catch your eye, you realize they're too sporty and not elegant enough.

 

I would recommend the Citizen Nighthawk but I guess it's straight up peasant status on these boards. Not to mention unfitting for the office.

I would pick up a Cartier Tank. I don't usually like designer watches but the Tank is simple and fail safe, not to mention that you'll get a lot of compliments from the ladies.

As for the higher end....I'd take a Lange 1815 Flyback chrono over many of the pateks/rolexs/breguets out there.

 

Im 23 and have been into watches for a while.all my watches are vintage except the white dial daytona. the black one has the zenith movement.

And no unfortunately im not a banker. Went to a non target and spent most of my time working on my own business. funny though, I did work in middle office at MS and none of the people around me had any nice watches except this girl who had really rich parents. she had a yachtmaster and a green sub.

Heres my collection: http://i36.tinypic.com/2re45ty.jpg

 

I Just bought a Breitling GMT Automatic for $2,800 and I am very impressed with it. Black face and presents really well. I disagree with the comments "go chrono or go home"...I am all about functionality and I don't use any of those features. As a 26 year old in sales...I need to make sure I present a successful vibe but not a "this guy is taking me for a ride to buy more watches vibe"...so I would say there are a lot of good watches out there for under 5k.

The tag Monacos are pretty cool if you are a car guy as well. I am all about automatics! This is my first Breitling so hopefully it does the trick!

EuropeanBob:
In that price range you could also go for a vintage Rolex Sub. Try and find one with "submariner" written in red, its a beautiful collectors model.

I have an Omega and love it.

my RED submariner is my 2nd favorite watch but they are way over 3k though.. more like 10k

You're a luky guy, it's a great watch. I think the OP's budget is now more like 10k.

 

I have 3 Omega watches and love them all. Nice thing is that I have found most people wearing Omega watches love to talk about them and whatnot. Always great way to make friends and instant connections.

Here's a Baume et Mercier in the price range. Extremely simple, extremely classy. Any thoughts?

http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_…

Largest drawback: it's not automatic. Why would you pay more than $1,000 for a watch with essentially the same mechanism as a $50 casio!

There's an automatic (and slightly pricier) version on the same website:

http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_…

The blue hands don't look good for my taste, though. There are, however, some variants of the same watch on the company's website.

which watch do you wear?
 

I agree with brackmdj from the first response. Citizen watches are best bang for buck. Now, when you say the age range, 22-26 and then mention Rolex or Cartier in the same sentence, that doesn't make sense. Those brands are not being marketed to young professionals mainly because young professionals would never be able to afford them w/o being already wealthy.

Movado would certainly be toward the top end of the price range I would expect a young person to have. Maybe a mid-range Omega.

Tag Heuer makes some solid, affordable watches.

I'm not a watch expert, but from what I read, most people who are timepiece aficionados would dispute that, but it's also quite relative to how much you want to spend.
