[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got DH a Citizen and I could afford your budget easily - he loves it, gets compliments on it and we bought stock with the balance.

I admire the ethic of not splurging and saving the balance. Get the simplest of their watches: watches with lots of goofy dials and general watch-bling are a dead giveaway that you actually have to work for a living.

OP here. Thanks for all the ideas!

I plan on getting DH something very simple, but I do want it to be high quality. He wears a much cheaper watch now, and I think he would appreciate having a nice timepiece, kind of like jewelry.  I have wedding/engagement rings, and DH gives me a small piece of jewelry for major occasions. They are simple pieces that I love wearing every day (diamond studs, pearl earrings, etc.). Each time I put them on, I think about the happy event that they're related to.

DH has just a $500 wedding ring from 10 years ago. I don't think it's irresponsible to get him a nice watch, especially when we aren't generally crazy spenders, and we are happy with our savings.  Turning 35 seems like a big deal, especially since our lives were so very different at age 30.  It will definitely be a watch that he can keep for years and years, nothing too trendy.

Keep any other ideas coming! [/quote]

I don't think the quality difference between a $500 and a $5000 is that much.  I think over $500, you are paying for the brand.  [/quote]
