I echo Jason, watch Chris Madaras he’s fantastic! If you can go low 200’s go meermin but I know you said under 200. In that case as Jason said look at BLKBRD. You may be able to pick them up at The Shoe Snob and they’ll ship to Canada maybe cheaper than BLKBRD.

My choice would be the white speedy sapphire sandwich! There is something about the white dial that’s beautiful and I feel it goes with everything. It’s a touch big on my wrist (I don’t own one, I just tried on a friend’s speedy). I could probably do it, the lug to lug is a big as I can go. I like the sub but to me it’s also just a status watch for people and so sometimes Rolex turns me off for that reason. Still dig it though! With you saying the moon watch has some significance to you, I say go for it! Plus you can get it today from an AD (maybe not so with the sub). I think the sub or either speedmaster is much more elegant and fits more style of dress than the Tutor or Seamaster. Please report back and let me know what you pick and why, congratulations on your milestone and the watch!

@Dr. Jason Cole good to know. I’ve tried on some of their jackets (didn’t like them), I own their shirts, but never tried their dress pants. Honestly just going made to measure may be the way to do it by the time I pay for alterations on something. I’ve tried local department stores to just get something now but EVERYTHING is polyester, I couldn’t even find a 96% cotton option.

@Dr. Jason Cole yeah, I may run in a Nordstrom in the next couple of months but the one most near to me is about an hour and a half drive. Most things near me (Macy’s, Men’s Warehouse, Kholes, etc.) don’t have anything. We used to have a Stein Mart where 2 of my wool pants I currently have came from but they went out of business sadly. I think the big problem with how common polyester is, comes from how uneducated to fabrics people are.

I’d watch this video. I think there are MUCH better options than AE for the money. I also think there are better options than Thursday and you can get goodyear not blake for that money. https://youtu.be/nCjgH2yTXqA?si=rvsGjjhaZaMv1Jdo

To add my personal current favorites are Meermin and Bridlen. If I was willing to spend more money I’d buy TLB artistas and I still may get a pair of them one day.

Those blue wool trousers look nice! I like the derbies too!
