I have more or less $15-17k I can pull the trigger on a watch. I have had all types of Rolexes flowing through my hands back and forth

In this moment in time, I would like to get a Daytona but with my current budget, absurdly enough, it's not an option (unless you know of a good one to pull the trigger on it). I like APs too, especially Rubberclads Divers or Chrono. Needless to say, I don't have any of these available at MSRP at the moment. So it'll be DavidSW or Jacek.

Thoughts?

This suggestion above.

You already have a sports model. Don’t be like everyone else.

A nice 1675 or 16760 would be a great purchase

Buy a Tudor and an Omega and take your wife/husband/partner out for a nice vacation with the remainder.

Funny you said that because I am super tempted by the white dial Seamaster 300m AND the Pelagos LHD

It's great on the rubber.

Not too crazy about the bracelet.

You could get that and the Pilor Mark XVIII and be done. Love that IWC has micro adjust clasp similar to the SMP300.

You mentioned divers - love this limited release. Also the bluesy.

Wow great recommendation! I think it's time I seriously consider Panerais. I am Italian after all

Probably better used, Davidsw has a good bunch online right now. I will think about it!!

MattyL147 · 1 April 2021, 12:18 AM

BLNR falls right in line.

greg19 · 1 April 2021, 12:28 AM

My vote goes to the 2 tone sub, preferably the bluesy.

ciandro · 1 April 2021, 12:39 AM

What do y'all think about a Tudor Chrono? Maybe a vintage one?

The heritage chrono is nice and would save a lot of money, as far as vintage can’t go wrong there but might need to add more cash to get a nice one

GolfJunkie · 1 April 2021, 12:42 AM

You looking to buy new or used?

I would look at a 16710. You should be able to find a very nice example at that price. You can get all three bezel inserts and both bracelets which would give you a lot of diversity for a single watch

I agree and beside of the extra inserts you would be able to buy a new jubilee or oyster bracelet

Avs Fan · 1 April 2021, 01:51 AM

I would say Deep Sea but I see you already have one!

Gekota · 1 April 2021, 02:20 AM

Maybe a TT Daytona, if that is up your alley.

Master_Grogu · 1 April 2021, 02:30 AM

126613LB is the obvious choice in this range.

RaZCaL · 1 April 2021, 02:35 AM

Bluesy is a good choice. Or if at retail, Rootbeer.

faz · 1 April 2021, 02:53 AM

Absolutely bluesy if you like two tone.

hbg1 · 1 April 2021, 02:59 AM

Following this thread...I'm in somewhat of the same ballpark and I've been debating my options as well.

I'm planning on getting a sub, on the "list" for that so we'll see when that comes through but I've been looking at some of the others mentioned on this thread as well as some Grand Seiko options too.

I'm leaning towards the Omega seamaster white dial on strap and maybe a GS GMT.
Or a 16710 and the omega...

so many good options in the price range, I'm leaning towards options that get me a couple off the wishlist!

dibarch · 1 April 2021, 03:10 AM

If you don't have one already how about 126610LN. You can't go wrong and have about 3K (top of your range) left to put to a nice vacation.

HHIslander · 1 April 2021, 03:30 AM

Buy a nice 16710 and then get all three bezels. If money left over, get a jubilee. Six watches for the price of one.

DoctorsOrders · 1 April 2021, 03:34 AM

BLNR and a Speedy for me. That or a used Day date!

robinmgb · 1 April 2021, 04:08 AM

I’d recommend a Daytona 116523, the gold makes it much more luxurious than the stainless steel models with the added benefit of costing much less!
I bought a lovely example last week for £10700 from my local dealer

doramas · 1 April 2021, 04:14 AM

Buy an Explorer or a Datejust and the rest I would use on more useful and sensible things.

I should have done this much earlier.

timegradient · 1 April 2021, 06:19 AM

You can't go wrong with the BLNR
