Looking for advice on my next purchase
Hi,
I'm looking to complement my FPJ CB with a daily wearer that will fit my 17cm (6.75 inch) wrist, has a decent water resistance rating for swimming and has some lume. Preferably no bigger then 42mm but flexible if the piece is light and/or low profile under 13mm. I'd like to keep it under $20K USD.
Please give me some suggestions so I can spend the next few days researching and looking at pics. 
cheers,
Tom

You will be spoilt for choice in that price range
I would go for a Lang & Heyne Frederick III in stainless steel. Like your Chronometre Bleu, you would be paying mainly for the movement rather than the metal.
I’d suggest Grand Seiko as my first choice
There are some models with Lume, however their hands are designed to reflect light very well. Therefore I think lume is not necessary on these watches. Also, since you like FPJ you’re obviously interested in quality of finish. GS will not disappoint! On t...
I agree
If it’s possible it’s a very cool and I would presume, comfortable wristwatch.
I had not realised that the Patek aquanaut
would cost less than USD20k because the price is higher in the UK.
GP laureato (38 mm) and VC Overseas
Sporty but classy at the same time, they come with caoutchouc straps (VC provides 2 extra strap included) photo comparison by amanico ...
You could try Breguet Marine 5817 and GO senator chrono panorama date in steel.
They could fit the bill. I have not seen the Moser Pioneer centre second and from the pics finishing is not as good, but for a better opinion it's better to see it in the metal! Best, Max
Thank you..here's a list of previous watches I've owned.

Omega SM 300 ti5
Check it out. A watch that would nicely complement your CB. I have had mine for almost 4 years now and it is my daily beater. This watch has it all: lightness and sturdiness of titanium 5, fhe fun an unpretentiousness of a colour watch (great with blue je...
