Hi guys, hope you all are having a good day and a good weekend to follow

I have saved up some money and decided to break the piggy bank to indulge myself a bit. So I decided to buy some new watches :) However, I'm having a really hard time deciding.

Here are my options

1. JF 16610 LV
http://www.intime01.co/rollie/3574-...edition-black-dial-green-bezel-on-sh3135.html
Now I already have a Noob V7 no-date, so arguably these are very similar, however, the new one looks quite promising but I can hardly find anyone who owns this and reviewed it.

2. Glashutte Original Excellence
http://www.intime01.co/glashutte-or...ss-white-dial-on-black-leather-strap-a36.html
This one is a quite under-rated dress watch, but I think it looks very promising. A2824 movement makes it the few dress watch to not have a Miyota, which is super loud.

3. Portugese 5007
http://www.intime01.co/iwc/2724-por...st-edition-on-black-leather-strap-a52010.html
Now I have owned the 3714 before, despite it been a gorgeous watch, the rotor sound was too annoying to keep around. I wonder if it is the same here?

4. IW5454 and F.A Jones
http://www.intime01.co/iwc/2614-por...-1-1-best-edition-on-brown-leather-strap.html
http://www.intime01.co/iwc/1962-portuguese-fa-jones-ss-white-dial-decorated-bridges-a6497.html
Both seem to have a decent movement, pretty sure won't be constructed nearly as the gen, but heh, for this price, I'd say it be a good deal, just wonder if anyone can pitch in some thought

5. Tudor Pelagos Blue
http://www.intime01.co/tudor/3057-p...itanium-bracelet-a2824-free-rubber-strap.html
I'd say makes an awesome summer watch, heard good reviews, a bit pricey IMO

6. RM 035-02
http://www.intime01.co/richard-mill...ezel-skeleton-dial-on-soft-rubber-strap-.html
The inner hypebeast of my really makes me want to buy this one, as far as I know it is the best RM out there right now.

Now my piggy bank says $800~, but I think I can stretch a bit if I really can't let one go. Can you guys please help me out with how you would pick?

Please feel free to put in other options as well! I think the general thought is to have 1 dress watch 1 summer watch and maybe some other cool watch.

Thank you all in advance!

I would get the Portuguese IW545409 RG ZF 1:1 just because it looks great. But its probbably not for the ones with a small wrist as it is 44mm thin and and flatt.

I second the Pelagos for a summer watch. Especially on the rubber strap, the blue version looks absolutely gorgeous in the summer.

How do you feel about the F.A. Jones version?
