▲ 165 r/Watches

[Recommendation Request] Just found out my boss is giving me up to $10k for a watch. What should I get?

Small company hit a milestone and this is one of the rewards.

Looking for something that’s different than what I have, can be dressed up or down, worn often, comfortable bracelet (micro adjustment a plus) and preferably has the date. I have a very large wrist so typically lean towards 42mm and up.

Existing watches in order of wrist time:

  1. ⁠Certina DS action diver STC 60th anniversary, black dial, 43mm
  2. ⁠Citizen Eco Drive Promaster, blue dial, 45mm
  3. ⁠Halios Seaforth III, pastel blue, 12 hr bezel, 41mm
  4. ⁠Orient Bambino 2nd gen, cream face, blue hands, 41mm
  5. ⁠Orient Bambino v3 gen 2, grey dial, 40.5mm

I know people hate these posts but I’m curious what people will suggest and want to make sure I’m not missing anything. It’s an important decision and clearly a big step up from my existing watches.

I have a specific dial color I’m leaning towards and 2-3 watches in mind so far. Appreciate the help.
