One for all occasions watch - the one and only watch

[Emma Woodhouse Stanger]

Hi all, would love an updated view of people's views. I have sold 90% of my watch collection because I genuinely want just one watch...
i would like
classy
classic
automatic/solar/kinetic
luminous hands and dial
waterproof
Feminine'ish,
My last two watches fulfill all features. Is there a watch that fulfills all for under $3000?

(Cartier Santos Galbee, men automatic and a Seiko Solar Chronograph diver SSC021)

Spend a little more and get a used Aqua Terra 8500:



Or spend a little less and get a used (they don't make them anymore) Aqua Terra 2500:

Spend a little more than your $3k budget and you can get the classic, iconic Submariner on the secondary market.

The Aqua Terra from the above poster is also an excellant choice.

Very nice,
but I failed to mention, feminine...

OK, shot in the dark: My bride is fond of her Tag Heuer WV2411.BA0793. it isn't "Feminine'ish", it is an actual ladies watch. Unfortunately, Tag Heuer has replaced the more affordale automatics with quartz and my wife's specific model was discontinued but they are still around. I don't think it has luminance on the hour markers but it meets your other requirements.

Best of luck.

If your budget was higher you could get that pink flowery datejust. I doubt you'll find a watch more feminine.

Pre-owned Rolex?

Thay is very pretty indeed, definitely one to consider, I'd like a bigger unisex/men's one, love the diamonds like the current tag aquaracer ( but the Carrera is much prettier)

I do love the diamond oyster perpetual but not in my budget sadly...
