[Recommendation request] Best sub $3000 watch?

What’s the best looking under $3000 watch that even someone who knows nothing about watches will think “yeah, this guy fucks”, while still holding a good reputation in the watch community. The most obvious answer would be a Datejust or Submariner, but any decent example would be at least double, more ideally in the $10k range, so that’s not happening. I know, I know I’m a bad person for caring about what others think, but stay with me here.
