If you had $10-15,000 to spend for one watch in the secondary market what would it be.

stmoore · 2 March 2021, 01:51 AM

Hodinkee travel clock.

Why don’t you instead share a bit of what YOU are thinking?

GolfJunkie · 2 March 2021, 01:54 AM

Sub LN and pocket the rest.

Seiko Automatic Diver and pocket the rest. Wouldn't want to buy a watch on the secondary market when prices are above MSRP.

FLAMAN · 2 March 2021, 01:58 AM

Batman oyster bracelet!

JSolution · 2 March 2021, 02:00 AM

sky-dweller or SD43. depending on your preference, sd43 for more casual, skyd for a little more flash.

GST15 · 2 March 2021, 02:13 AM

I would not buy on the secondary market and pay 25% to 100% surcharge over MSRP. Just me

TimeAZ · 2 March 2021, 03:11 AM

If only having 1 watch...
1. explorer 214270 @ about 8k and keep the rest (this option is most attractive economically)
2. 41mm sub, 124060 (preferred) vs. 126610LN
3. steel DJ41 on a jubilee

Can't go wrong with any of the above as a 1-watch'er

roznalos · 2 March 2021, 03:13 AM

SD4K for me

BillA · 2 March 2021, 03:21 AM

G-Shock for about $120 and invest the rest in a safe place.
Don't buy any watch above MSRP

HHIslander · 2 March 2021, 03:28 AM

16710 no holes Coke. Take the money left over (if any) and buy black and Pepsi bezels.

Rashid.bk · 2 March 2021, 03:29 AM

You first.

Bmcg · 2 March 2021, 03:42 AM

I like the 16710 idea thank you!!

StillTrying · 2 March 2021, 04:21 AM

SD4K for sure!

Rori · 2 March 2021, 04:25 AM

Unless it’s a model that is not in production I wouldn’t buy any watch from the secondary market.

I would go to a Rolex AD and buy a TT submariner or GMT.

Stealthdriver · 2 March 2021, 05:14 AM

Rolex explorer 2 with white dial!

Annan · 2 March 2021, 05:19 AM

GMTII 116710LN Bought one new in 2014, loved it but stupidly flipped it in 2016. Since being discontinued the secondary market has gone sky high. Just today a trusted gray dealer has an unworn one listed at $18K+.

VogelPhoenix · 2 March 2021, 05:24 AM

I'd try to scrape together another $1-2k and buy a previous generation VC Overseas chronograph (49150), preferably in black. I don't really see the temptation in overpaying for a current production watch at a grey dealer.

1665fan · 2 March 2021, 05:31 AM

Sd43

clickingdru · 2 March 2021, 05:32 AM

You will get and SD43 and have a change.

thenewrick · 2 March 2021, 05:34 AM

OP41 new from an AD and just wear it everyday forever

Investor · 2 March 2021, 05:35 AM

Yachtmaster 40 > plain Sub. Be different.

pamountainbiker · 2 March 2021, 05:38 AM

Wow, a surprising amount of SD4K's call outs here - didn't think it was that popular

Pw92676 · 2 March 2021, 05:49 AM

If something sings to you at that price, go for it. To me, I don’t have anything I’d like right now at that price point so I personally would keep saving and apply that 15k to help cover the taxes on a piece I really want :)
