I just got a raise and have decided to celebrate a little bit with......A WATCH!

Any recommendations in the up to $1500 range?

Right now I am thinking: Ball Engineer Hydrocarbon, Fortis B-42, Sinn 656, Breitling Colt Auto, or Doxa Divingstar.


All advice is welcome.

Cool review!

Looks like it might be a bit tough to find a Divingstar.

I do love a challenge.

The Doxa Divestar is beautiful, but if I were to buy a watch in that price range at this time, I would go for the Breitling COLT GMT Automatic (.............and I'm not even a Breitling "kinda guy") :dude:

Since I am a purveyor of Russian watches, I would be remiss if I didn't suggest this 42mm gold-plated Buran equipped with a Valjoux 7751 with sapphire crystals front and back.

That Buran has been on an off my radar screen for quite a while.


What a beautiful watch.

I vote for the Sinn, probably a bit more versitile, looks wise, but you've got a hard choice ahead of you!

Congrats :dude:
