Where to take the collection?
The Aqua Terra Small Seconds is my daily, and switch between the steel bracelet and the leather NATO strap. Looking to add another serious watch here - what do you think is a good next step? Stuck between the Rolex Explorer 36mm, Grand Seiko SBGM221, and Tudor Black Bay 58, although definitely open to other ideas.
