[Question] best watch you’ve ever purchased for under $1,000

I’m a regular dude getting back into watches. While I can technically afford a pricier range of watches, I personally choose not to, as it’s tough for me to rationalize spending more than 1k (read: it’s tough for me to rationalize spending more than 1k on a watch to my wife). So I ask you this, fellow watch people. What is the best watch you’ve ever purchased for less than $1,000? That can mean whatever you want it to - best value, best look, most worn, etc… pictures are encouraged but not required. Cheers.

Edit: incredible responses and beautiful watches so far guys. Great inspiration - thank you!

[VAER] Got Myself a VAER

Landed on a RS1 Rally Chronograph 40 mm. Love the vintage racing vibes and the choice of colors with the dials. Went with the Jubilee Bracelet - didn’t even realize the watch came with two other easily interchangeable straps. Decent lumen. Lot of compliments so far. For the price it has been a solid watch!
