Watch Suggestions
Looking for a watch that meets the following criteria.
Lume. At least on the hands
Bracelet or can look good on rubber so I can swim with it
Well made with interesting finishing
Able to go swimming in it
Under 42mm and less than 13mm thick
Not Rolex or Omega
Aesthetically unique
Bonus points if openworked
Under $30k usd used
Any ideas?
I’m thinking of a Breguet Marine. The second generation. I actually had a time only one I stupidly sold. Loved it.
Maybe an octo finissimo? The complicated ones are quite a steal now second hand. I had one of these too but the gen 1 rotor was faulty and it had to go back. The limited edition variants they’ve done look very very cool to me.
Gauthier C was another idea but I don’t love the dial numeral style. If they did sticks only I’d love it.
Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is tempting too.
What else is interesting? 🤨
Maybe this one ?
ALPINE EAGLE 41 SL CADENCE 8HF REF. 298600-3028
Titanium case, 41 x 9.7 mm
And a bit older…
The LUC Sport 2000… at drastically less than your budget but fulfilling the brief (I might be a tad biased) 😊
A work friend of mine is letting go of the Breguet marine 5817 in RG
In breguet rubber, rose gold case, grey dial. At half your budget. Big date at six! (The piece is in Hong Kong.) Should I put you in touch? If so pls DM.

VC Overseas is a good choice…
