Depends what you mean by high end. If you want a luxury sports watch, Datejust, Cartier Santos or Omega Aqua Terra are perfect for daily wear. On the higher end, consider VC Overseas in steel and F.P. Journe Elegante.

Thanks! I had not heard of the VC. Rolex is a challenge to acquire, but on my mind...Cartier isn't something I want as an everyday watch.

I could be wrong as I haven’t done it myself, but I understand that it’s not too difficult to get a DJ in a classic/not hyped configuration, e.g. plain silver or smaller with diamonds. As long as you don’t mind a little wait, it’s worth at least checking with your local AD. That said, everyone and their mother has a DJ and the VC is far more interesting!

I'm sorry... are you wearing a watch? All I see is your ring. I swear it grew Is that your LM?

*ETA: why do my emojis not show up?

I did try on this rolex way back when, but felt it was too much for everyday:

Thanks! You're eyes are correct, not LM (and it is little bigger, maybe about .4)
I remarried a couple years ago and he worked very closely with Victor Canera, whom I cannot say enough great things about!

Yes, that version would be far too much for me as well. I never choose a diamond bezel for myself as I'm just too casual and I don't love that much bling on my personal watch. I'd love that without the bezel! Diamond markers are just right!
Funny we have a little freckle in the same place, looks like my arm in your pic!

The new Oris movements are very cool because of the long power reserve. The Black Bay 36/32 strikes me as a perfect daily watch if you don’t need a date window. I think about the BB silver dial a lot.

Lovely Tudor. My daily carry is a Pelagos 25500TN that I wear for everything, yard work, lobster diving, anything.

Love the Pelagos! I wish they’d make a mini-Pelagos like the old school mini-Sub because that’s just too much watch for me to pull off. If OP likes the dive watch style, then Tudor is the answer.

I'm good with the diamond bezel...I think it's the mop that makes it "too-too" for me. So funny about the freckle :)
Your ring is absolutely stunning!
