Want to save up for a watch for my dbf

If he's a banker, get something classy and not common. Try looking at Nomos. It's not well known as Tag or Omega (this is more like a brand that only watch enthusiasts know) but they beat the pants off any 2500 dollars Tag/Omega inside out.
They're German handmade.

But if you wanna go with something with mainsteam name, I'd much rather have Omega than a Tag. Maybe an Aqua Terra.


If you're looking at Nomos, also consider Stowa - also handmade in Germany, and made to order. Beautifully finished movements, and something that you definitely don't see everyday.
 
Something Omega I think is a GREAT choice. It's a great sporty/luxury/classic brand. I personally think Tag would be a second choice - I feel that there's too many of them in the market.

Here's some awesome Omega SpeedMaster in your price range. This website is very reputable, I got my authentic Omega there! :)

This is an excellent suggestion. My boyfriend is in his mid twenties and he really thinks TAG is too trendy. He loves Omega. I know a few other men that feel the same way. I think Omega is more classic for sure and probably will fit in better with investment bankers.

They sell Tag at Costco sometimes if you decide on that and are looking for a deal while knowing it is definitely legit.
 
They have pre-owned tags at portero for under 1k. I don't know the quality, I've never ordered from them but they also have rolex for under 2k. I was on the same boat until I lucked out when my dbf said he wants a palm watch :) yay

Good luck!
