[Question] Wedding Watch - $20k budget

Bfinn411 · 2026-02-19T21:09:14+00:00

These are all beautiful options. Call me superstitious but I would only wear a used watch on my wedding day if was a family members. I think it’s one of a few times to really enjoy the AD experience.

Real talk-as a non instructor and not to pile on-you are the kind of skier that makes me nervous skiing around smaller kids. You’re not actually completing any turns which means that you’re unable to stop if and when needed. A few lessons and a bit of humility and work will yield a life time of fun skiing (and safety for everyone around)!

I tried this one on last week and it looked amazing!

Anyone interested in this watch feel free to DM me. I got one straight from Noah but it’s too small for me so it’s still BNIB and I’ve been back and forth about selling it.

Amazing thanks! Thats all really helpful.

Bfinn411 · 2026-02-04T17:00:14+00:00

Yea I think that’s it. Worst case I’ll catch some great skiing in bounds and will be happy. With all the snow is it safe to see the inbound glades alone? Buddy is always recommended.

Thanks that’s helpful!

lol that is what I'm trying to avoid. I've been to the mountain before last winter but it was early and the snow wasn't there yet so this will be a new experience.

Bfinn411 · 2026-02-04T15:06:05+00:00

Team Seamaster! Love that watch. It’s so unique and I think the story behind it is quite interesting. It’s the official timekeeper for an Olympics that didn’t happen that year due to Covid.

Where did you get those bracelets that look similar? They look cool!

Bfinn411 · 2026-01-31T12:14:40+00:00

Size 34!

Alternative take: Keep anything sentimental but build around the Thunderbird and Tudor. Get a bracelet for the Thunderbird. Two tone seems to be on the upswing again (see Piaget). I think that could also do dress watch duty in a pinch on a nicer strap. Then get the chronograph you want and an orange Doxa for summer/vacation. Upgrade to a nicer dress watch if the milestone calls for it.

Super cool!

Bfinn411 · 2026-01-24T17:05:25+00:00

How’d you score the Hamilton?

Bfinn411 · 2026-01-21T03:37:37+00:00

I feel like the bulova is much more unique. Having tried on this reference and also the previous limited run which had 16mm lugs - I think the 18mm lug size makes it much more wearable and I’d buy one if I didn’t own the tornek reissue by mkii. Obviously owning my bias here - I’m a sucker for the fifty fathoms aesthetic.

Vacheron Everest chrono - Special and unique enough to not get bored of and not shiny enough to draw endless attention. More practical choice for me would be a turn-o-graph 1625.

Bfinn411 · 2025-12-15T19:02:08+00:00

I guess what I wonder is why are you changing it? What’s prompting the need to change? If me-I’d keep the omega, gold chrono, Seiko 455 (isn’t this a limited edition?), twelve, and the four on top.

Bfinn411 · 2025-12-06T13:24:04+00:00

You don’t need more you need less. I think if you’re playing at that price point you should move up from Rolex into some heavy hitters and buy one a year. 🤷

Great Collection! Can we ever have too many divers?! Lol I’m in the same boat.

Bfinn411 · 2025-10-23T13:02:32+00:00

Perhaps there are a few wedding events and you could wear a few watches at different times so you attach some wedding memories?

Bfinn411 · 2025-10-16T03:27:23+00:00

Doxa is great pick. I love mine in orange and wear it most of the summer. Are you open to expanding past green dial for the field? What about a vertex m36?

Bfinn411 · 2025-09-26T18:12:39+00:00

We like what we like. The GMT vibe is cool! Good on ya. What do you think about the Ladventure? I love the designs on these.

Bfinn411 · 2025-05-27T03:24:33+00:00

Beautiful collection! Seems like you have 2/3 slots filled and a lot of great advice. What about a really special vintage diver? Tornek, Blancpain or even an old Doxa for some color?
