Recommendations for an everyday watch under $1.5k?

[overcrash]

Hi all, newbie here just stepping into the world of watches.

Got myself a Longines Master Series, and getting a Rolex Date Just in the coming weeks.

Now am thinking of getting an everyday watch under $1.5k?
Will be stepping out into the outside world soon after 10 years in the green well. =)
So need a good watch that will complement the corporate/executive look and not overly expensive.

Not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post though, pardon me mods if i posted in the wrong forum.

How abt BALL? Not a bad idea for an everyday watch. Swiss made n automatic.

actually i did thought of them before, but not sure if my budget can afford a Ball?

so for now i am leaning towards an Epos or even a Seiko..
however i am scouring the sales threads , see can find any treasures a not (even if i need to stretch my budget)

As for ur budget wise, BALL FIREMAN II, ENGINEER II 38MM N 40MM should be around there after discount.

OIC thanks man! this is a great info for me!Think their engineer II series look pretty good!

this piece of stowa looks pretty awesome!
there's also an option to add a Chronometermovement ETA 2824-2 movement to it for like US$265?
any comment on the stowa brand ?

[overcrash]

or how about this piece from Epos ?

- ETA 2892-A2 movement

No problem bro. But as for the Engineer II 40mm, it will gonna stretch ur budget a little bit more. I just got one a month ago, is a awesome timepiece for an everyday watch.
