It's my 40th next month and my wife is wanting to get me a significant present for it.

I had been looking at the Breitling Superocean Heritage I in copper, but I think I would prefer a Heritage II in copper head bronze, or possibly black, as I already have a few blue watches.

Another option (and it's blue) is this.

Or this

Another blue lol.

Any other suggestions? Budget I guess is up to the cost of the Breitling.

The logo on the CW watches makes it a no from me. I mean, it just looks like the comic sans homework of an 11 year old.

Get the Superocean.

CW are very good watches though.

I have the old logo C60 Trident Pro and it is a very nice thing.

New logo does not bother me too much.

Prefer the second one you listed personally.

I too am a bit iffy on the CW logos but I do like the look of this one which just has a single (and central) piece of branding.

I'm 40 in May and I'm very lucky that my partner has said she'll treat me. She's picked out a Tudor Black Bay 58 in blue, obliged!

The Dornbluth is lovely but a little more expensive than the Op had in the examples.

I was 40 at the start of this month and I was going to buy a watch, the wife told me to choose my own as she knows how picky I am.

I think im pretty much set on 5he new Seamaster now with white face and black bezel but I started off thinking Tudor BB then Tudor Pelagos so.who knows when I finally buy one.

Something a little different: a Stowa Bronze Flieger.

Factory engraving available too.

Yeah she's a good egg to be fair and I'm very lucky, not that I'd let on to her.

Sorry to bump an old thread. I ended up with a black Breitling Superocean Heritage II.
