Good Day All,

I am trying to find a nice sport watch for Fridays, I have a moon watch but it scratches to easy and it is hard to wind up.

I might get another Rolex or Sub, SD, EXII or a GMT.

I am also looking at a Zenith, Panerai, Breitling, IWC, TAG or another Omega.
I want to keep It under 7K. I want good resale value and a C.O.S.C. Certified movement.

I have an Air-King, Milgauss and a Moonwatch.

I might be used but I am leading toward new.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Eric

sub, imo

JACBMW · 19 August 2011, 12:02 AM

A TT Sub could do the trick.

Re: your Speedy. Try some Polywatch on your Hesalite crystal.

Why is it hard to wind? Does it need a service?

I'd recommend a PAM 000 or 005.

C'mon now Eric. A bit of toothpaste and a strong index finger is all you need!

I am going to have my AD shine it all up when I get my new watch and I am going keep it becuase it is a really neat watch lots of history with that watch.

The watch is less then a year old, it it just a pain to wind, harder then my Rolex. My wifes 26mm is a bit harder.

You NEED or WANT

How about a PAM to change it up?

rolexsweep · 19 August 2011, 01:58 AM

If u want something for everyday, rain hail shine... Weddings to a game of golf, sub or a gmt.

dddrees · 19 August 2011, 02:02 AM

SubC or GMTIIC would be my choice.

GradyPhilpott · 19 August 2011, 02:03 AM

How about the new 39mm Explorer?

Chipmunk · 19 August 2011, 02:04 AM

Get the 16610 Sub.

IMO - it has to be another Rolex.
As Dan suggested, Sub or GMTII would be a great addition

Dr. Robert · 19 August 2011, 02:04 AM

Another vote for the submariner.

I couldn't have said it better. Both are a great daily watch and very comfortable to wear.

Watch Professor · 19 August 2011, 02:17 AM

Why not use the Milgauss every day? Also, the Omega is a very sturdy watch. A little Polywatch will clean up the crystal, and it shouldn't be hard to wind.

eric23 · 19 August 2011, 04:27 AM

Thanks for all the feedback, I just got back from my Rolex AD and I like the green sub (did not like the 9K price) and also tryed on a Tudor Chrono it was real nice, I can not find it on there site It was a Ltd. model. They told me the new 42mm EXII. is coming in next month, I might take a look at that watch before I buy something.

Milgauss is my week day watch (It works great for me because I work in IT and my AK was getting de-mag. all the time).

Thats why I want a Friday/Weekend watch. Something sporty!

I keep my AK as a dress watch for dinner and stuff.

drockadam · 19 August 2011, 04:45 AM

How about a nice Stainless Steel 16610 Submariner Date?

I am thinking about the Sub date for sure.

skyedog · 19 August 2011, 04:57 AM

16600 SD

eric23 · 25 August 2011, 12:14 AM

I tried the Green Sub on yesterday, I like it!!

dalip · 25 August 2011, 12:27 AM

Well looks like you're heading towards the new sub c...either LV or LN.

I take it you meant the new model LV?

TSW · 25 August 2011, 12:32 AM

Another vote for the Sub
