IF you could buy any watch under $20k...what would it be?

[italiano17771]

i think about this often and also thought this might be good for the rep makers to see what the rep community wants.

***please post pics***

ill start with anything in the zenith defy exteme series, which i beleive they are begininning to rep.

I'd try to squeak a Panerai 201a under the 20k.

 

[sexybeast]

pam 127 and the 217 would be my goal

 

[Ramiel]

Hummm.... I contantly think about that....

1) AP Royal Oak Chronograph with counters at 3,6 and 9 (not the Offshore), with bracelet, in gold if possible if not in SS
2) Graham oversize Chronofighter in rose gold
3) Graham Chronofighter in rose gold

PAM 005 or a Submariner/SD

New Rolex Milgauss

The new (ROLEX) Milgauss which is coming out later this year has been calling my name since it was announced at the Basel Fair last April. I just hope the repmakers will be repping it out faster than Rolex can produce them, so I won't have to shell out big bucks -- not that I could (or would). :lol:


I like the black face model with green sapphire crystal -- it's just damn awesome!

In a realistic world, I would definitly buy a Zenith. I simply love the look of them (at under $8k)

i want one of these so bad i am thinking about buying the gen. i am going to buy the rep and have it serviced, when it inevitably fails if i liked it as much as i think i will that will be it. i will find one for the best price i can and buy it. your limit was 20,000.00, i think this retails for 32,000.00 but i have found them for 25,000.00 so maybe if i could find a nice used one maybe i could get it for 20,000.00. 8)

Is that a white gold? This one is $12.5k

Rolex Daytona on Amazon

yes, unfortunately it is the only way you can get this dial as far as i can tell. i don't care about white gold, ss is fine with me so if i am wrong about this it would absolutely make my day. lol :lol:

I'd try to squeak a Panerai 201a under the 20k.

I'm with shadowplay. Either that or a 202A or an 082. You'd be hard pressed to find a gen 201A for that price cap...

 

[shadowplay]

italiano is right so here is a pic of a 201a that sold for $19500.

I love the watch but even I would admit it's quite flakily put together for that money, though give it ten years and I imagine it will be four times that. Or maybe worthless when the Panerai fad dies. Heres hoping worthless and I can really get one :wink:




Then again levi paid 45 grand for a pair of manky jeans with suspicious yellow stains that someone dug up in the desert so $19500 for a watch suddenly looks reasonable

20K

5218-201/a

 

[mricky]

I'd get a car for under 20K with the built in watch in the dash :lol: or a Portuguese Automatic - 7 Day Power Reserve.

 

[cosmic]

I have always wanted one of these since I was a wee lad ! It doesn't break the bank and I would give the rest of the money to someone more needy...like myself !

sorry man but if you got a original one of those signed by walt it is more than 20,000.00
