I still cant decide

Im after a new watch, I have £3,000 to spend. I am wanting an everyday watch for when I'm at university, for that reason I don't want anything too flashy.

Even the most basic of rolex like an explorer i feel would be too much. So what I am basically after is watch of quality, that would go unnoticed by 99% of people.

I currently am thinking of a Tudor Black bay in red, although I'm not 100% convinced. Any other watches you guys could suggest to me? I don't mind buying pre owned.


Many Thanks


If it helps, I currently have a Breitling Super Ocean Heritage Chronograph 46 and a Rolex GMTii BLNR.

Explorer .NO ONE recognizes mine and it is not close to being flashy.
How about the Pelagos?

I can't imagine the Explorer being noticeable. Barring that either of the Tudor BB's or even better yet the most under the radar Tudor going, the Ranger on the bracelet. Pic from a blog to watch, doesn't get any more un noticeable than this.

The Explorer is very understated in my opinion. The Ranger even less so. Either one will work for you.
