Especially this one (but with a black leather band)

I am on a bus trip to HK, and watches here are generally cheaper. I am looking to purchase that watch for around $5500 USD

I already have a sports watch, so looking to get a dressy watch

Comments?

For $5k, get something more boutique/rare than an Omega. I wouldn't pay over $2k for ANY of their watches.

is ebels the same level/price as omega?

Can anyone reccomend some other brands? I currently have a TAG heuer, so I don't want to get another TAG (although I like TAGs)

Depends entirely on your taste. I'm not a fan of Rolex either; if I had $5k to drop on a watch, I'd be looking at a Panerai.

I'll agree with this. Try Glaschutte.

Panerai watches are nice, but they are too big for my wrist

that's why i cringe when people mention rolex. when people hear the name rolex, usually they think of the presidential which pretty much looks just like a $300 seiko.
