Just out of curiosity.

$25k budget towards any one watch. Brand new or preowned (but used pricing based on mint examples only). I'm mostly interested in Rolex, but open to hear other brands as well.

Also, "trusted seller" pricing applies.

Don't care all that much for many complications. Date, GMT and Chrono are ok.

Here's the group it would join:

Audemars Piguet 15400 Blue Dial
Tudor Black Bay Black
Rolex 16710 Pepsi GMT
Rolex 116610LV "Hulk"
Rolex 116500 Daytona Ceramic

ZOOK · 9 November 2017, 10:12 AM

Oh this is going to fill up quick. Everyone here like to spend someone else's money.

Rolex 326934 Sky-Dweller steel and white gold Blue Dial - Tell the AD to keep the change.

Piece of cake. I'd pick some variation of a Calatrava.

Dd40

Uppersouth · 9 November 2017, 10:35 AM

I’d go with two for $25k.

Agree 100% based on your collection. I would go 5227R

Colin10101 · 9 November 2017, 10:40 AM

I would be hunting for a 2nd hand 36mm Day Date in platinum. I think you can get one for that price!

It's not possible. However, a 5167 might be nice or a minty 5164.

Lange 1 or Lange one moon

red1108nyc · 9 November 2017, 10:56 AM

LNIB 5164 > 5167 for me. The rubber is cool. 5711 is Genta and too much like 15400

and she's got back too :-)

I can't seem to find any examples even close to $25000

GolfJunkie · 9 November 2017, 11:03 AM

It'd be one of these two for me. Probably the GMT

kilyung · 9 November 2017, 11:05 AM

YG GMT or Sub

derekstlmo · 9 November 2017, 11:06 AM

dd40 or a lange

kenzembo1 · 9 November 2017, 11:27 AM

Hey Chad,

For what it's worth, I'd look for a Patek. I'm really keen on the 5711 at the moment. Like you, I have the 116500 and something about owning the two hottest watches in the world is highly appealing. With your AP, you would have a collection within your collection with that pair of blue dials...

Admittedly, I'm a total newbie when it comes to Patek but I believe these MSRP for $24-$25k. Needless to say, for someone that enjoys the thrill of the hunt, you would have your work cut out for you to find a mint example at that price.

That Aquanaut Travel Time is a cool piece too and I know how much you like rubber, so if you're looking for something sooner than later I can see that fitting nicely in your collection.

jsg1976 · 9 November 2017, 11:29 AM

Need a dress watch. Get a Day Date 40 or Lange 1815 up/down

TickTockChuck · 9 November 2017, 11:31 AM

I vote DD40 in WG with the blue or green dial to add a dressy yet sporty option to your collection. My 2 cents. Not my picture, but a nice one. Cheers!

Spoonage · 9 November 2017, 11:32 AM

AP or PP

JR16 · 9 November 2017, 11:39 AM

5711, Lange 1815 Up/down, or day date white gold w
Olive green dial.... any of these three would be an awesome choice
