Hi

I want to buy a watch for a good friend for their 25th. They dress well, always a nice shirt and shoes - So I want to get them a nice dress watch.

What would you choose if you had a $2000 budget. Stowa?

I had thought of the Stow marine

What other makers should I be looking at in the price range?
