    I highly recommend the seiko spb143. It’s such a perfect one watch collection. I have the luxury version sje093 but it’s not necessary nor does it replace my spb. Another thing, buy what you like because you’re gonna be wearing it. Do a little research and also get a size proportional to your wrist size.
