Need Help Pick A Watch 4 Dad -
So I got my dad a 41mm Ivory Dial DateJust but he noticed that he doesnt wear it very often. I asked him for the reason and he said he think its too heavy.
Now I gotta get my dad a new watch but not sure what to get him. He doesnt want something very expensive, but he does have some preferences Preferences: - White Dial - 36 to 38mm - maybe 39 max - Leather strap - doesnt like bracelets - Date function - 3 hand set up - doesnt like busy dials - Stainless Steel - for his everyday use So my friends, I am lost. What would you recommend? I personally wouldnt get him anything that cheaper than few grand so NO Tissots, Hublot, Breitling, ORIS, B&R, Hamilton, Fossil, MOVADO OR Longines

Glasshutte might have some nice options.

Get him a 1601 on a strap. Affordable two tone that works as a daily beater.

Good luck finding a Hublot or Breitling for LESS than a few grand...now, neither of those brands fit your listed parameters, but ya know...JSing. Also, Oris makes some mighty fine watches that would fit your parameters and I think you are doing them a disservice by taking that brand off your list. (Full disclosure I own both Breitling and Oris watches)

Now for a recommendation, the watch you described is a NOMOS

Rolex OP 39mm on an Everest. Get one preowned at a great price, another $200 or so for the leather Everest. Good luck

How about a nice Grand Seiko-I think the anniversary on leather is around 6k so it's definitely not cheap!
Edit- here is the watch I was referencing- http://www.grand-seiko.com/collections/SBGW253 38mm on strap and clean dial- perfect! |

Does it have to be something new or would you go a few years old?

I am not sure about case size/weight, but Grand Seiko would probably work too.

Exactly, I said Glashutte but the Nomos line is what I was referring too.

Doesnt have to be new. I am fine with older models even used watches.

I personally love that watch but I think my dad would hate that squarish look but thank you for suggesting it!
