Okay, so you have the funds to purchase your next watch and hypothetically you are ready to pull the trigger but it can't be a Rolex. Which make and model had been pulling at your heart strings and you could see yourself owning?
For me it's the VC overseas chrono.

If I had to choose one and blow my whole stash then an ALS or FPJ. But to get the ones I want I’d have to go gray and even then get a great deal.

A Grand Seiko

Mb and f hm6 aka the space pirate.
I could see myself owning it if my numbers come up tonight. It really sings to me.

dmash · 6 April 2020, 01:51 AM

I’ve wanted a Nautilus since I saw this dapper gentleman sporting one in Milan circa ‘09. That’s a pipe dream now though, so I’m going to go with one of my other favorites. ALS 1815 Chrono:

dmash · 6 April 2020, 01:53 AM

Another would be a VC Patrimony Traditionelle Small Seconds:

That is a good one. I’d take a VC as well.

slus · 6 April 2020, 01:55 AM

Probably a Royal Oak if it could be had at MSRP. VC Overseas is a close second, both of those bracelets speak to me.

Zakalwe · 6 April 2020, 01:57 AM

I could afford this if I liquidated my collection...

...as well as selling my wife and toddler.

Randyp905 · 6 April 2020, 02:04 AM

My first non Rolex is about to be one of the new vintage Big Pilots. If I could decide Brass or Titanium I would already have one

Got to ask why post a subject on non Rolex watches in the Rolex watch only forum.

scarlet knight · 6 April 2020, 03:39 AM

Lange 1

WatchEater666 · 6 April 2020, 04:16 AM

FPJ Resonance.

JimBianchi · 6 April 2020, 04:21 AM

I would (will in the next 12 months) pick a JLC Polaris in blue. About $7,000 USD.

Peter Toronto · 6 April 2020, 06:13 AM

I’m tossing around which of these two JLC’s I prefer at the moment. I’m leaning towards the master ultra thin date.

FYI, the MUT date is LOUD. I considered buying one last year but, when I tried the watch on, I found the rotor made too much noise on the wrist.

kieselguhr · 6 April 2020, 08:13 AM

outdoors_guy · 6 April 2020, 09:46 AM

One of these if there were a little more certainty in my economic future:
Patek calatrava
VC Patrimony
GS Snowflake (with blue dial)
Or...
Weiss limited edition ultralight watch in titanium

Batmannr1 · 7 April 2020, 01:35 AM

AP Royal Oak 15500ST with the silver-white dial. Maybe this year if the AD plays ball and the crisis is hopefully ended.

rootbeer7 · 7 April 2020, 02:29 AM

I made it happen as I slowly fell out of love with Rolex. Panerai 233, Seamaster 300 and Tritium Speedy.

DoraTheExplorerII · 7 April 2020, 04:46 AM

Datograph, Lange 1, Zeitwerk maybe. Unable to decide which one.

love this one... will wait a little for the market to hopefully correct so that I can buy it brand new with a nice discount - sub $40K from my AD. Have you tried it on? I am worried it will look small on my 8+ inch wrist...

I am in...my old macan can net me maybe $50k - not sure about the other $200k that I need... who needs to eat? who wants to invest in real estate if you can wear this watch...

bigfatpauli · 9 April 2020, 04:18 AM

I have this on order and I should have it once the world goes back to normal, so does that count?

That definitely is on my list as well.

My favorite non Rolexes are my favorite watches period, the blue VC Overseas 4500V (that I‘m wearing as I type this) and the grand Lange 1 117.028 (which I hope to recover from the draconian Dubai lockdown soon). I do have a lot of appreciation for my good old beat up 116710LN too though.
