Hi all. I've been searching for a nice gold watch option. Budget is from 13k to 24k , mint condition ones, 40,41mm, leather strap or full gold.
I do like AP royal Oak , Sky dweller , Daytona full gold and leather strap...
Could you guys help me pointing your fav ones?
Thanks

Here are some models I like:

Coffes4closers · 17 July 2017, 02:10 AM

Royal oak chrono in rose gold with black or silver dial is a real beauty... im a huge fan of that piece.

520Matt · 17 July 2017, 02:40 AM

I like the 116718 green dial GMT and the 16618 or 116618 sub with blue dial. I'm a sucker for sport rolex's with a little color on the dial

breitlings · 17 July 2017, 02:57 AM

Daytona on strap. imo

Thanks. Im not fan of new GMT models. I like the old ones 2000's. But I like the sub as well. Its a good option!

I also love them . I got the 116520 white dial , V serial.

Better decide on what strap you like first.......as that is a big factor.

joli160 · 17 July 2017, 04:36 AM

Daytona on bracelet

Al1969 · 17 July 2017, 04:51 AM

Whatever piece you get, I'd get it on a bracelet and buy straps for variety. I believe you can't go from straps to bracelet with most brands.

I dont get it . Do you mean " alternative" strap? Because all of them dont accept genuine strap replacing the original strap.

SDRider · 17 July 2017, 06:12 AM

I'm diggin the white gold with brown strap. That is a sweet looking watch.

SearChart · 17 July 2017, 06:28 AM

AP Royal Oak, non chrono.

I'm talking about whatever watch you get, get it on a bracelet(metal) not on a leather strap.

GoingPlaces · 17 July 2017, 06:37 AM

AP no chrono. Simple and classic.

Fleetlord · 17 July 2017, 06:42 AM

Daytona on a strap for under $14K.

Very crisp examples are easily available.

Best possible option for the money.

AK797 · 17 July 2017, 07:37 AM

I chose a RG ROC first, then a RG DaytonaC.

Manofsteelpt · 17 July 2017, 08:36 AM

AP 26320, then the 15400 would be my choices.

Thanks . I always like royal oak non chrono better. I thought the AP chrono dial a little confuse especially on bracelet watches. I started to like the chrono ones on strap but the non chrono ones are nice too .

Definitely . They are the cheaper way to get a nice gold watch. Not sure in my case It Will look similar to my 116520.

I bought the black dial RG Daytona.

zama · 17 July 2017, 10:22 PM

If that is your budget why not go a Daytona on full bracelet, better investment and better balance on wrist, if committed to leather then an AP Chrono 39mm would be my choice.

texex91 · 17 July 2017, 10:27 PM

AP for sure.

Thanks. But Im afraid about the full gold. Too much attention I think. Maybe I need to try it on.

hugs · 18 July 2017, 03:37 AM

While I think the bracelet makes the RO, it is beautiful on the strap too! I would go with that one..

brandrea · 18 July 2017, 03:41 AM

I'm not a fan of Rolex on straps so I'd go AP.

For 24 K you could but a full gold DD40 if you were so inclined.
