That’s definitely an approach. Super helpful. Thanks.

My pleasure. Thank you for your service. Waffle House offers discounts to vets. Admittedly I am jealous that I lack access to such benefits.

Maybe a Longines heritage piece would suit your fancy. They did that Calatrava style sector dial a few years ago that was reasonably priced and quite handsome. Some other similarly good looking pieces that don’t break the bank.

Omega has done some gorgeous reissues recently as well. But maybe 3-4x the Longines price.

I recommend against vintage for your use case.

I'm looking to get a Patek Annual Calendar.. any thoughts on pricing for this on the second hand market? https://www.bqwatches.com/product/22719 found this one but not sure if its priced well,

Would also be interested in a nice nautilus... any suggestions?

That seems at least 30% above what that watch should cost used. Ebitdaddy would probably get another 10% off that. But definitely a sick watch.

Longines is daft.
With a 5k budget yeah better take the vintage route.
