I have a budget of $20,000 and would like to purchase 3 watches. But I would like them to be 3 different brands. What would you choose? Please consider looks/style, movement, history and investment/resale. They can be pre-owned or new. Thank you.

Why 3 different brands?

DG123 · 9 June 2011, 11:44 AM

Rolex = best sports models
Patek = Best dress watches
Audemar Piguet = Most unique and recognizable watch period.

flyinbrian · 9 June 2011, 11:48 AM

I have three different watches and three different brands. All in my signature and should be able to get all three for close to 20k.

PS: you should be able to get the monster also.

roleyrolz · 9 June 2011, 11:54 AM

Pam 312 7k
Breitling Navitmer B01 6k

MortgageGuy · 9 June 2011, 12:23 PM

I would grab the following:

Panerai-any model you like
Rolex-Sports model... GMT/Sub...
Rolex DJ for dress

Should have no problem staying in the 20k ballpark

East Bay Rider · 9 June 2011, 12:45 PM

Dive watch: Blancpain Fifty Fathoms
GMT Travel watch: Rolex GMT
Other: Tudor Chrono

blackmsport · 9 June 2011, 12:50 PM

I have
Rolex Sub : sport
Omega DeVille or Aqua Terra Chono : dress
IWC Spitfire : casual Sunday watch

whatever leftover, Seiko 5... everyday work around the house

Sorry mate... but I cannot possibly agree with your last comment.
I would bet anything that maybe MAYBE 2 in 100 have ever heard of AP or know/care about it.

kareemthedream33 · 9 June 2011, 01:12 PM

Mine would be:
Rolex SD16600
JLC Master Calendar
Vacheron Overseas Chrono

BNIB you would go over budget but you could easily get those 3 slightly used for under 20k I think.

TopNotchChach · 9 June 2011, 01:14 PM

rolex, panerai, you pick the last.

kyle L · 9 June 2011, 01:25 PM

I would go vintage... Rolex, Omega and Patek. If you buy new, I guarantee it if you try to resell you won't get back what you paid for them.

I agree AP is unique but that doesn't make it the obviosuus choice although a good one

towernick · 9 June 2011, 01:44 PM

Rolex, Omega, and IWC.

Omega GMT Co-Axial for office or daily driver/beater
Rolex DJII for dressy occasions; tt preferred
IWC Aquatimer for water sports, diving, everyday wear as well

Also consider:
Panerai
Zenith
Rolex Deepsea

My 2c.

Dr.Brian · 9 June 2011, 01:53 PM

Rolex White SS Daytona or white Exp II. (7-10k)
Jaeger LeCoultre dress watch (master Geo, calendar, reverso, ultrathin, etc) (7-10k)
Seiko Marine Master (2.5k)
Casio G shock ($100)
I threw in the G for a real beater. The above cover all the bases in style. If you get the old white explorer you can add a few thousand to the JLC and get gold. I've got a soft spot for the very under rated Marine Master. Real dive history, bold style, rugged, quality movement. It's a real WIS's dive watch.

usbzoso · 9 June 2011, 01:57 PM

mdtddd2007 · 9 June 2011, 02:19 PM
