Hello everyone! I am helping a friend who is looking for serious watch. Here are her criterias:
1. At least 40mm in case size
2. The price must not exceed USD6000
3. Prefer thicker case
4. Must be steel bracelet
5. Prefer to have certain heritage and history
6. Prefer an iconic piece
7. Prefer chronograph complication
8. Prefer not the common brands like Rolex, Omega...
Thank you so much!
Jewellers?
Any watches to recommend?
The world is your lobster.
Hmmm. Almost a contradiction?
El primero?
El Primero is a great suggestion! Thanks
A Chrono complication brings more pain than pleasure, trust me.
The only time any of mine have is when it was inadvertently dropped on the tiled floor but then it was easily sorted through one of our fine forums upstanding repairers and probably no more costly than a non Chrono complication.
OP I'm sure there was a lovely Tag Heuer Monza with the El Primero movement in it on SC quite recently, would get met vote, unless I've got that horribly wrong.
Edited to add it's gone, what a fantastic piece lucky new owner, hope they're enjoying it.

G-Shock Steel meets all of those criteria.

You're welcome
G Shock does not come with steel bracelet.
The G-Shock Steel range does, which is why they are called G-Shock Steel.
No digital watches please. Mechanical watches please.
Big girl is she?
Good luck with your search
She just prefer big watches.
The new Oris Depth meter Chrono?
Or that Victorinox one that goes to 6000M?
Both chunky chronos.
Why should we trust you??
If not the common brands, I'd check IWC, Zenith, Girard Perregaux, Armand Nicolet and Eberhard & Co.
Have a look at the stainless steel JLC reverso's I think they really suit women and fit the brief here as they are iconic.
Because he's a complicated guy
Try WUS
5. Prefer to have certain heritage and history
6. Prefer an iconic piece
I was struggling to get these two requirements into the budget and then I saw it was for a woman!
You have presented us with a serious challenge.
How about dropping the chronograph requirement and look at Seiko SKX007 and SKX009. These are iconic, wear fairly well on smaller wrists
and she will have some money left over to get her hair done.
Ball trainmaster? ... maybe a moonlight special? Hard to get heritage/iconography in "lesser know brands" but could do the job.

Maybe Cartier can fit the budget as well...
Heuer Autavia GMT
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Bremont ALT1-C?
To help the search go to a site like Jomashop.com
In the search criteria you can enter chronograph, bracelet, price $1000-5000 and you will get a whole list to scroll through. You can see the grey price but also the RRP if you want to go to an AD

Love it or Hate it,....
It is an icon
I don't know if this qualifies as an icon yet
This one?
Nice story and better wr rating than the Navitimer
The Portugieser could be it, f course
But to be Honest,..... A speedmaster moon watch is THE iconic chronograph.
Tudor Big Block?
Is that for sale?Tudor Big Block?
I could tell you, but then I would have to liquidate you.
Neither, I loathe it.
