So, I've recently inherited a modest sum of money and, though I'll be saving most of it to put a down payment on a house, I really want to buy something special for myself that will always be a reminder of the amazing person that left it to me. Part of me really wants to spend $15k on my dream Rolex but that's a bit ridiculous and definitely not practical. I've given myself a budget of $5k give or take. My top choices so far are the Zenith El Primero "Classic Cars" edition, the original Zenith El Primero Chronomatic 42mm in silver or gray, the IWC Pilot Spitfire Chrono, and the new Heuer Autavia. All retail for $5300-$6700 but with my AD's discount they will be $4300-$5500. I have also considered the Rolex Oyster Perpetual, and the Tudor Pelagos and Black Bay GMT, but the reps for these are just sooo good, I can't justify them. I have commitment issues so any feedback on my current choices would be greatly appreciated! Are there any other watches you guys would recommend in this price range? The watch knowledge here never ceases to amaze me so I look forward to you guys' input! Thanks in advance. Here are some pics of my top choices so far:
