So, uh, which watch did he get? lol

IT'S ALIIIIVE! zombie thread

 

[MrYesterday]

How hot was the magma you passed to reach this thread?

 

[INeedaWatch2]

I would have said Citizen Eco Drive. That way you could get you a nice GEN and about 6K in your pocket for anything else you may want to do.

I was searching for "best watches for $6500" and thought it was crazy that RWI appeared.

I am in the same boat of buy a few used gens or 1 nice used watch, possibly go to $7500 for a Daytona... I am just scared to death about getting scammed on a watch this expensive... It would sting for a few months.

rolex ceramic sub 116610

 

[levelmanroger]

I think I'd get a really good condition vintage MG-B. That could be fun.
Then I'd buy a gen Orient Diver with the spare change.

 

[chisin]

If investment value isn't a concern, I'd get:

1.) Longines Legend Diver; and
2.) A Glashutte Senator 60s

May even be able to squeeze in a Sinn 856 if cards played right.

 

[rychastings]

either the:

1. Omega Moonwatch
2 Omega PO 42mm
3. Tag Carerra chrono or aquatimer
4. Ebel Panda

I am currently looking at vintage 5513 w tropic 19, PVD Explorer II, or green ceramic sub...

 

[jronson22]

Planet Ocean liquidmetal.

 

[Zack Morris]

LOL had to look that up, thought it was a watch. Would do if I didn't already have a convertible.

Meanwhile, there are ZERO Submariners on eBay with a jubilee. What is it, sacrilege? I should have kept the damn PBDAD lol

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal Limited Edition *takes a breath*, no question.

$6500 would be a tough ask but I saw a gen (Obviously as there are no reps of this model and if there were they would be way off) on ebay for this price from a reputable seller. I'm lucky I don't have that kind of money unless I sacrifice my BMW fund or I'd have bought it.

If I couldn't get that, probably just a regular Planet Ocean Automatic. I would prefer a Milgauss Black but I asked the AD in Adelaide and he quoted me $8500. Then again, if I'd be willing to go to the bay for the Liquidmetal I guess I could go to the bay for a Milgauss but I'd rather hit up a dealer if possible.

$45 Sekonda... spend the rest on reps beer, car and food.

 

[d4m.test]

IF I ever get the chance to do that, it'd be a Rolex YM in platinum. To me, that is a watch that smacks of style and elegance.

heh to add a serious reply.....i'd buy a good used rolly, and save a bit....i know i would get beat to daeth for spending 6.5k on a watch..... unless we won the lotto.

 

[MrYesterday]

Gen breitling emergency. It's awesome, and useful. Plan on getting one with my tax returns.

 

[Zack Morris]

I found a nice serviced transitional ss sub on NATO for $3k.

We now have 4k to blow on either 1 PVD Explorer II or try to get an IWC and a cheaper watch. Anyone seen a Sinn under a grand? B & R military is also used around a grand. Or maybe a Roman black or white dj and one of the others mentioned...

However I forgot about the emergency. I would kill just to have the BOX for one of those.
