Luke-warm take: stop asking Reddit what watch to buy
But seriously though, mechanical watches are overpriced wrist jewelry with the added bonus of telling the time, a function so basic and widely accessible there's no logical or reasonable justification for spending hundreds or thousands of dollars so you can save the 2 seconds it would have taken you to look at your phone.
Yet we all do it anyways because 'look, shiny!' and that's fine, but it's soooo subjective that I'd sooner trust my 1yo son as my designated driver than the opinion of 500 perpetually online, basement dwelling Reddit addicts on what tiny arm clock I should spunk a couple months wage on.
If you don't know what you wanna buy yet, then don't buy yet. But don't ask us, what the hell do we know? Who gives a fuck if some 40yo toddler tells you a Cartier Tank makes for a terrible GADA watch (it do, btw) IF THATS WHAT YOU WANNA WEAR!
Omega is overpriced, Rolex is basic, Seiko is the goat, indie brands are better value, real enthusiasts only wear Casio and have a GShock of every colour in the rainbow.
It's all meaningless and entirely bullshit and we are all lambs to the capitalist slaughter house. Buy what makes you smile, even is a dog water piece of shit garbage. Just be sure to post a photo after you do so we can roast you.
