This thread is about the appreciation of horology and the design, micro-engineering and materials engineering that are required to make a functioning watch, clock, hourglass, or other timepiece.

I currently sport a Seiko PADI but would like to replace it with something more versatile seeing as I'm a OWG. Do you have any suggestions? I prefer stick dials and cyclops although it's not set in stone. The grail is obviously a Datejust/Oysterdate but they're a bit over my budget and I was aiming for something sub €1000/$1300.

Sarb017 is kind of sexy and widely regarded as an all purpose watch but it's not really my cup of tea. Any other suggestions?
