My wedding's coming up next year and, being Indian, it's tradition for the families to exchange gifts. Rather than the traditional gold bling which I'd never wear in public, my fiancee's family wanted to buy me a really nice watch. I'm completely in support of this and am really excited for my first "high-class" (at least for me) automatic timepiece. I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations on some great watches to consider. For reference:
Price Range: $3k-5k although i'd rather keep it on the lower end of that spectrum as much as possible
Style: I've always been a fan of the Breitling styles. I like those complex "chronometer" style pieces and am not really a fan of the minimalist watches.
Previous Watches: I currently own two citizen eco-drives which I enjoy thoroughly
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
And before someone speaks on the logic of the purchase, they're giving us cash separately for the wedding. By tradition, it's mandatory that they buy an actual gift rather than just giving us money. I'm certainly not a person who pushes for lavish gifts but at least this way I get something really nice that I otherwise wouldn't get for myself.
