So, I am adding to the two current watches I have now. I don't want to giant case, it needs to be under 42mm. I like automatics and complications. After a couple of weeks of looking around, these are the ones I keep coming back to. I would like to spend no more than 3200. Like to here what our resident watch aficionados have to say.

I wouldn't but #1 strictly because of that creepy moon.

Out of those id got with #4 with a different strap. Don't really care for that one.

From the four selections it looks like you are going for a dressy watch to wear around. Personally I like 1 and 3 for that.

Four's interior numbers make it look busy for the sake of busy.

My personal choice would be number 2 with a steel band to wear for everything but it looks way too busy for a formal watch.

I like the Baume & Mercier the best but those are all solid choices.

I really like B&M's new Clifton 10057 LINK

You could nit pick those brands against each other. And by you I mean Broke and Gaston. I am more of a sport watch/dive watch guy. I like Baume & Mercier best of those 3. They don't mess around with those blue hands. Make them blue.

Do you not have a cell phone to tell the time?

I like #1 or #3 personally. Just seem more clean and classy...
