Thanks-appreciate the wisdom. I wish the budget was alot higher because I have seen some beautiful watches on this thread.Khal, there's no need to listen to me, I know little. But I do know that for $4,000 there are a hell of a lot of awesome things around if you're happy to go used/vintage.
Maybe if you spell out some preferences and/or red lines e.g. dress or sport, maximum or minimum size, bracelet or strap, preferences in colour etc? T

But I'm assuming you like a bigger watch based on what you said before, so:
For an alternative to the Tag you suggested, maybe a Zenith El Primero.
But for something less obvious and sporty, but still big and modern, I'd refer back to the suggestions I made to Frilly above: the Nomos Zurich Weltzeit is a really unusual and distinctive watch, and just bumps against the top of your budget. A grand cheaper are the other Nomos Zurich options, which I think are very cool in the blue, brown and original no-date versions. There's a cool anthracite version to complete the set.
But you said try used, so here we go.
Otherwise, a brand that stood out to me in this price range is IWC. A pilot watch might suit your sporty taste and is quite fashionable these days. Or for something different, the Ingenieur is the original anti-magnetic watch, in case you're an X-Man.
I have the Omega Speedmaster ST 375.0054
, white dial chrono but have no qualms with another chronograph.
because i dont have a watch collection and would like this to be more of a daily in rotation with the above.
I would like a leather strap, maybe a darker dial to have a different look. Nothing too small. Some of the above mentioned were too small. Im thinking 38-42?
A watch that can be worn with a suit or casual on jeans. I could have taken an easier route and just bought a watch based on looks from a fashion co but want something to say, oh, he may know something about watches....even though I dont.
As for your suggestions, i liked the Zenith El Primero the most followed by the IWC
Not sure how I feel about the Nomos style yet
