Tudor watch

[davidsonj73]

I want to buy a Tudor watch in stainless steel, not gold to keep it at $5,000 or less. Which model and color scheme do you think would look best to women? My favorite models are: Black Bay, Pelagos, Royal, Ranger, and Black Bay Chronograph. I am indifferent of the model among those 5, or the color scheme.

If I had to narrow down the color scheme more I would say that I want it in: Black, Blue, or Burgundy.

Uh, am I the first to point out the obvious?

Which model and color scheme do you think would look best to women?

No, you don't drop this kind of money to impress anyone except for yourself.
I've known guys who spent 10x this on a freaking car, because some floozy commented she's into it..
In fact, if a woman did express heightened interest in you because of your fancy timepiece, I'd advise caution..

That said, they are nice watches.
You need to go into a dealership and wear it, see how it feels, how it matches your skin.
Whether the face is big enough, too bright or too dark. Are the little dials useful to you or not? Is the date visible enough for you?
Your choice will depend on personal preferences, eg Whether your style is showy or subtle.

Personally I prefer seamasters (a work one and a dress one), and over the years I've had maybe three people comment, that's one per decade, and none of them were women.

Protip: if a woman seems to be glancing at your left hand, she's not admiring your watch. She's checking for a ring.

Funny story: was approached by a preppy pantsuit in the mall, about thirty and pretty under her specs, asking me the time.
I was on my way home from a jog, unshaven & sweaty in tshirt & trackpants.
Like, out of a dozen other people she could have asked, she had to go up to the one who looked most like a Mexican ræpist..
So I glanced at my watch, gave her an approximate, and pulled out my phone, offering with a smile to give her the exact time..
She backed away like she'd been bitten!
I don't think she was intimidated by the incongruence of my appearance (or watch), as much as by the thick band on my ring finger!

That makes sense. I sometimes check to see if an attractive woman has an engagement or wedding ring on her ring finger.
