I really want a gold dress watch, and have a one in mind. It's a sizable investment.

I love it and it would likely become my daily wear, but it doesn't have lume like many dress watches don't.

Am I going to regret spending that money on a watch without lume? I do really love lume.

If you are like me you will regret it, especially if you intend to daily it. Many times I have avoided putting on my lumeless dress watch because I had to sleep at a friend's house, or in general I could forsee a situation where I could have needed to read the time in the dark. So basically I wear it only if I know I'll get home before sunset (because of my survival boy scout autism I need to always be able to tell the time on my wrist, even if I generally carry a phone).
As unpopular as it might be, I now consider lumeless watches irreparably incomplete and I'll never buy another one. I think lume can be incorporated in dress watches without disrupting their elegance too much.

I think smartwatches played a role in this shift. Those things are huge, so more traditional watches will stand out if they are smaller than a 41mm Apple Watch. I wonder if this trend will continue to where 36mm becomes the norm again.

Keep in mind that gold scratches easily. Back before stainless steel, gold was the best corosion-resistent metal available for cases. If you are not a retiree or middle-aged exec, a gold watch will make you look like a trust fund baby.

Gmt and sub are fine watches, but the fact that your ideal collection is gmt, sub and speedmaster tells me that you in fact do not like watches, but having that label of a collector. You found 3 of the most bland looking pieces that have some kind of story behind them and that you dont hate the look of and claim those 3 are your absolute goals? You can lie to me and yourself all day, but you do not like watches.
Term npc reqlly applies here. I have nothing against you. Majority of watch wearers are like you. My only gripe is with omega speedmaster. In your world that would be like boeing removing fbw systems from 737 and charging it 4x the original price after the inflation adjustment

Bell & Ross make watches that look like this too.

Yeah, I like the B&R V1, and could maybe fit it in my budget, but would really like a steel bracelet.

They make one with a bracelet. The BR V2-92.

The modern explorer indices and numerals make it look like a happy meal toy. Would love a 1016 though.

If you want a watch that doesn't look like a hockey puck on a rubber band any of the Fossil made android watches are fine. I have a Fossil Gen 6 Venture Edition and I like it well enough. Battery is fine, lasts me 24 hours with the screen in always on mode, though I do put it in theater mode while I'm asleep. Charges pretty fast.

You’re one dumb fuckin zoomie. Do you even know the history of the NATO strap?

Yeah, true. Sad because I’ve been here since ‘09.

since you seem to want a watch that looks like a train station clock, this mondaine might be a good choice. 28mm is probably about as small as you'll get still having a date
