$100,000 For one watch..
Kind of a silly thread but
If you had $100,000USD to spend on one watch what would it be and why? Not several watches just one... Please post a pic (if you can of that watch).. I would go with this:

Tom you would have to fork up with another 700,000USD to be able to buy this Grand complication
Myself would get a cheaper RM11

If I had $100,000...
That's a beauty Tom!
If I had to spend the $100,000, I would buy a Patek Philippe 5170J. If I had $100,00 to spend, and I could keep the rest, I would spend $4,600 on a 16610 Submariner Date with B&P, Then save the $95,400

For a more classic look
For the bolder look VC's "Tribute to the explorers" it would complement my Exp2 beautifully |

No pic, sorry, but I'd go with a vintage Paul Newman Daytona, pretty sure we all know what those look like.

Nice! That is way out of my league. I think if I was going to blow a pile of cash I would get a RM.

Haha! I remember someone trying to do something like that, but I don't think it's allowed on TRF.

Easy
Patek 5124G used ~$17K
Sell my Mustang + get a 335xi used ~$28K Grad school with the rest. The 5124G is all I need to be happy. I'm unbelievably infatuated with other watches like the new Datograph but I would give up buying others for at least 5-10 years if I could afford a 5124G That watch was made for me... |

Prob this. Msrp is $125k but luxury bazzar has it for $97k. ALS Split Time. The movement is the most amazing movement I've ever seen.
