Well its your money and you have to wear them so the choice of watches should be yours and yours alone.As for investment there far better things to put your money into than any modern day wrist watch.Watches are for wearing and enjoying and IMHO should not be thought of as just £££££$$$$$$.Now having worn and enjoyed what ever brand of watch you bought for many years.If you decide to sell the watch and get a good return.Just think of it as a bonus on having owning and wearing that watch for many years.

You have to have a IWC, then I would buy a Panerai and a Rolex.

Why 3? I'd just get a nicer Rolex, base PP, or mid AP rather than three.

i choose sports watches all the way.

rolex = gmt or sub (the best sports and all around watch(can be used as formal too))
zenith = el primero (the best chronography and dress watch)
panerai = any (just a cool watch which is built like a tank)

sdbui, interesting question, glad you have $20K to spend. The least I would do is acknowledge the responses to your question from forum members so far.

Hope you spend your $20K wisely, you have been given some excellent advice.
