$4k Budget What Gen?

[ottomatic]

Build a really nice franken GMT Master and take the wife on a vacation.

Hey men, huge congrats!!! I hope in few years i can get my fourth bar.

What do you like, vintage?
Omega flightmaster for me.

Some new?
I think Bell & Ross Will be perfect, or an iwc will be cool!

Classic pilot watch?
Any Breitling (for me, emergency, another ELT never is too much)

And, if you like, you can make some gold wings.

Again big congratulations for big achievement!

Happy landings!

This!!

Congratz to your milestone. Since you are a pilot the steinhart pan am will fit you. It's a nice eyecatcher and you will save some cash.

Or you can go for a laco every pilot needs a laco

For the money and the fact that your a pilot I love the Breitling option. I just bought this last week on the Breitling forum for 3k with 2 straps

beautiful, and a great deal. Don't know what you do for a living but that's s pilot watch right there!!

Go for a Breitling Super Ocean Heritage on Aquaracer strap. You will have around 1k left and own a beautiful gen.

Since your a Pilot get a Breitling OR if it was me I would be getting a IWC 3777. You can get that for your budget.

If you can stretch it I would opt for a IWC 3878 or a IWC Top Gun 3789. All pilot watches and suites your career well.

Hello, if I were you I would get a nice vintage chronograph watch. Forget about size unless your looking to impress.
Forget a replica it will break eventually 3 of mine did. You will be very pleased with the vintage watch and besides you can pass it down to you children a rep will only end up in the trash.

 

[joes]

Agree, IWC 3777 is a great choice too!!

 

[SUMIKITO]

For a pilot, well only 3 choices really that one should 'legally' wear. A Rolex GMT, An Omega Moonie, or a Brieth Navitimer !! Those watches go hand in hand in the cockpit !! Period !!

 

[Skywatch]

I would personally save and grab a GMT-Master II if you're a pilot.

This is what I would choose, but I'm just partial to Rolex' .

 

[sanankid]

There is no other option. You must get a rolex submariner 16610.

 

[ozogatve]

I'd go with a nice Omega Seamaster for that money.

 

[pe.geffroy]

If you're a pilot i'd go for the Breitling ! Or if you want something nice and new the new Pelagos with in-house movement !

 

[tommy_boy]

You can get a gently worn 3717 on leather for that kind of money.

 

[PecMan]

im gonna tell u whats going to happen..... u will spend those 4k on a gen watch that eventually u will ******* hate!!!! well ... I didnt mean that . what a mean is that whatever u get ..... u will get bored of it and u gonna buy a replica and then sell one buy another then another and sell another and buy ... some will be keepers but wont give u the satisfaction of a new one!!!!! (for a limited time) so stick to rePlicas cause if u have 4k for a gen it means u are wasting money

I'm 59 years old, and I've been around ~30 pilots of all ages, flying all types of aircraft - fixed wing and helos, military jets, commercial jets, trash haulers, etc. I have yet to meet a REAL pilot who wears a Breitling; most of 'em just chuckle or snort when you mention the brand, saying "They're for guys that want to LOOK like pilots." YMMV...

For MY $, go Rolex, particularly a Submariner; it is/was good enough for Chuck Yeager - only sayin'...
