Guy's giving me some ideas, but I already have a DeepSea, IWC Galapagos, Oris Pro Diver and a 47mm Longines HydroConquest, Oh and a Panerai 90, but my wife has pinched that. My thoughts are towards another IWC, but not a BIG Pilot, I do not like em. If anyone can suggest some 42mm plus IWC's that would fit the bill I would be interested to hear your thoughts.
I think the topic here is that we have 10k to spend .. and we MUST buy a watch with it ... so no chance to buy a homage and piss off the rest on my TR haha!
Therefore as it is for my life it would have to be something that would pass to my son .. and hopefully be something that at least maintains it's value for him and not be too blingy for him to appreciate ..
Therefore it has to be the best value Rolex that 10k can buy .. a nice classic Sub or GMT ...
a NOS 1973 Submariner. Thank you.

Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy Seals special ed. for me........ :bounce:

My answer is Breguet, one of the classic line. :D
Probably one of the JLC - perhaps Master Compressor, range but in rose gold - I had a chance to get the smaller version (39mm I think) of the world time in rose gold for £8000 a few years ago
- I took a picture before I handed it back - stunning 8) 8)

Had not thought of JLC much but thinking about the rose gold divers or a worldtime in Rose Gold could be an option. Anyone have any further options for IWC as well?
My first response would be a rolex Explorer 1655 orange hands
A deposit for a GO Senator Chronometer.
Oooohhhhhh.... that is nice! The vintage submariner has just been bumped down one place on 'the list'What ever is worth closest to £10K and more importantly one that is desireable enough to sell for as close to £10K, then i'd buy a 2254 and pocket the rest :tongue:
Ps.. whats a DSSD?
Rolex Deep Sea, Sea Dweller.
(the big one on the left)
:arrow: BOOM!
One of these:
- IWC Aquatimer 3536 Ti on velcro
- Vintage Blancpain FF Aqualung
- Older Rolex Sub, ND
Menno
Hublot Big Bang
JLC Master Compressor
IWC Top Gun
John if you find one let me know!! Failing that I'd grab an Orange hand E2 or a second-hand Rodger Dubuis. They are sooo gauche but I like their dials and excess.
I think it would have to be a 60's Calatrava for me...preferably automatic :)

A vintage Rolex 1655 Explorer - a real grail 8)
Will do Dev - and will also post a snap of it on my wrist! :wink:John if you find one let me know!! ...............
Wouldn't hold your breath though
Cheers - JP :D
for sure vintage!
10000 wouldn´t be enough for a BP Air Command so maybe a Explorer II Orange Hand(Steve mcqueen)! 8)
IWC Mark XV
Panerai 229
Rolex Submariner
That'd do me guv.
**EDIT**
I don't know if I could get those three with £10k! Maybe the Panerai would be a used model.
Would've had lots of ideas 5 years ago. Now I'm drawing a blank. Just can't see spending that kind of money on a watch anymore.
I am now thinking IWC Top Gun could be an option. Anyone have any pics of the 46mm version of these on their wrist?
Ha ha always one for jokes mate. Hope your current 'beast' is doing you well. ;-)Will do Dev - and will also post a snap of it on my wrist! :wink:John if you find one let me know!! ...............

Rolex GMTmaster 2 TT....
Oops. got one!
you´re a lucky man :wink:
It would have to be a birth year 71 red Submariner
It would be a struggle to find one for £10k but it would have to be the Panerai 127.
One day I WILL own one
If I can add some money...JlC Duometre or one of several JlC reverso complications in Rose Gold.
Few other brands come close to JlC IMHO
Pre-owned white gold Daytona black dial, red writing :D
f p journe chronometre bleu.
If s/h, lightly used might squeeze under £10k
At £20550 new and soon to rise - it isn't looking likely - but I can highly recommend the watch :)
It's just a matter of time...

You still have that watch, how much is price range for pre-owned?
Is it a lot heavier than s/s version :D
IWC Portuguese 8-day
No idea - but havent seen the black dial, red accents, that cheap as it has the newer clasp etc. 50% off new would be fantastic imo.At £20550 new and soon to rise - it isn't looking likely - but I can highly recommend the watch :)

Relatively easy one this is for me, I would call Gurmot and buy his 1665 of him.
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=139040&hilit=1665
This is the watch that put me onto Rolex in the first place, fell in love with it instantly and if I had dosh like that to drop on a watch I would be round his house like a shot :D
I already have this..(so feel very fortunate)
But if I didn't then it would be a white gold 5127G PP Calatrava
I don't know if I could commit to life but in this lovely scenario I'd like a Patek Nautilus Jumbo on rubber (can be found unused for £9995 :-)). I'd love to get a £10k Double Red as stiglet suggested but somehow I don't think that would be possible. Steve Mcqueen Explorer possible too. Missed one a few weeks ago and just saw one in the Watch Club last week :drunken: .
Hope you all had a lovely Xmas, can't beat a bit of the Royle Family plus the 'Airport-esque' satire after was brilliant.
I'd be looking for something pre-owned but genuinely collectable at one of the auction houses - on the assumption that I would be buying at its true market value.
Used AP ROO black dial themes.
Blancpain 50 fathoms Milspec 1, you would get plenty of change and how often would you see the same watch on another wrist :wink:
