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:

Rollie2011 · 27 April 2012, 06:49 AM

Nice! I probably would go with something similar. however, i am pretty unfamiliar with watches in that range

Yeah me too,

after seeing some of the PP, AP, and Richard Milles (I think thats how you spell it)

I wanted to see what other would do..

TSW · 27 April 2012, 06:54 AM

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

drockadam · 27 April 2012, 06:58 AM

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

capote · 27 April 2012, 07:00 AM

For a more classic look

For the bolder look

VC's "Tribute to the explorers" it would complement my Exp2 beautifully

towernick · 27 April 2012, 07:03 AM

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

eric23 · 27 April 2012, 07:09 AM

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.

This is one that I would very seriously consider, however when I get there I'll let you know for sure.

Haha! I remember someone trying to do something like that,

but I don't think it's allowed on TRF.

Young Connoisseur · 27 April 2012, 10:17 AM

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...

B. Doggy · 27 April 2012, 10:20 AM

It would likely be a PP of some sort.

T-Rip · 27 April 2012, 10:40 AM

Is there a rolex that would fit that price point?

I would go with this:

Can you get that one for $100K?

I would get this one:

mfer · 27 April 2012, 11:06 AM

3646 (maybe enough)

gwalker · 27 April 2012, 11:13 AM

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.

psv · 27 April 2012, 11:14 AM

ALS Datograph

psv · 27 April 2012, 11:14 AM

Ha, Gunter, we wrote our post at the same time. :-)
