Just received an award from the company I work at that came with an unexpected bonus, and I was thinking to use a portion of it to buy a watch to celebrate. I’m looking to spend around $1000, but I’ll likely be selling a watch or two and would be willing to go up to ~$1300.

Two things I’ve come to accept through my watch collecting journey are that I highly value exceptional lume, and I love the look of polished indices.

My two current favorite watches are my ~10 year old…

Help me pick a diver to celebrate (around $1000)

Selling or trading my AQUATICO Bronze Sea Star. Very gently used.

For trades, mostly only interested in a green dial Flieger/pilot style watch, but open to other options

The watch is in great condition with only minor signs of wear. I’ve tried to show the small scratch I made while swapping straps, but that’s about it. Slight darkening/patina starting.

Comes with original box, warranty card, and one leather…

FSOT: AQUATICO Bronze Sea Star (Brown Dial) (Price Reduced!)

Great condition watch, but the green dial just wasn’t for me. Basically no scratches or damage that I can find.

Lume is fantastic and the eco drive movement keeps great time.

Bracelet is sized for ~8 inch wrist. Two extra links

I will ship to the lower 48 US for free. Accept Venmo or zelle

I’ve had great luck asking here for other watches I’ve looked for, so I was hoping I might be able to find some suggestions

I’m looking for a sub $200 type A Flieger style watch with a green dial and no date, like the Laco below.

I have one green dial field watch I’m replacing because I don’t like wearing it often given the cost of the watch, but I still want a green watch I can wear sometimes. I also have never had a Flieger style watch, so I would ideally fill two desires…

I love the look of it, but I just haven’t quite found the wrist time for it with some other purchases.

really the only wear I can detect is on the bracelet (see pictures). Otherwise, there isn’t much wear on it. Purchased in January, warranty is valid. Comes with the bracelet and the two straps pictured and original case

Venturo/Gruppo Gamma Field GMT

I just was notified last week that I will be getting a promotion.

In order to celebrate, I’m looking to purchase a sub-$1000 watch.

Right now, the foremost contender is a Hamilton Murph.

I have an order for a 42mm black one, but I don’t have a commitment to buy. I tried on the 38mm they had, but it was just a bit too small for my tastes with the lug to lug.

That being said, I’ve heard the Murph doesn’t quite justify the price outside of the…

Just got a promotion: help me pick a celebration watch!

White/blue lume instead of faux aged lume, 39mm, no cyclops. Fantastic size that fits great on any wrist.

Has desk diving marks on bracelet and a small scuff near the 24 on the bezel. I've done my best to display these in the images. Comes on stock bracelet, with box/papers/tags/warranty from Gnomon watches. I have it sized for my 8 inch wrist, and it comes with two additional…
