You're right, the rubber clad on rubber retails for $25K. I opened the link and saw the Safari and knew that one is $25,700

You'd better get your nominations in too hadn't you Roff?

All in good time young man, all in good time

I don't have a chronograph. I've never owned one, and I doubt that I would ever use any of its functions. Generally I find that the sub-dials simply make the overall appearance of the watch face too busy and detract from the most important aspect of being able to tell the time at a glance.

However, I would have to make an exception for what is probably the most legible, durable, and beautiful example of the genre; I give you my ultimate chronograph - the Sinn 756 Diapal. Why spend $25K when you can have this for all of £2.5K? Surely a contender:

I should have nominated a while ago,all the good ones are taken.

Hardly!

I'm curious to see what you nominate. I know there are still some zeniths that could be on the list but I'll wait until you put in your submissions.

Well given the PMs that we are exchanging right now you may have some ideas

Definitely some Zeniths in my mind and could make some arguments for a lot more to be in the discussion - brands that are already mentioned and at least a dozen or so brands that haven't even been mentioned yet - and that's before I start looking at boutique brands.

Ok I got one, Glashutte Original Senator Panorama Moonphase Date

Grand Seiko Spring Drive (if this qualifies):

Got lots more but need to do some more research. I am more than open to amending a particular model list above (the PK is the obvious example. I think the watch should be included but of course is has to be under $25K).

At this point let's just get the list and then see what we are dealing with in terms of rationalising it to a reasonable list for the competition. I don't want to decide the approach, that's up to everyone, but I think that it will be easier when we have a 'real' list.

Nice call on the 5119, although I would have taken the rose gold version as the link (which is also a couple of thousand less) - I'll just add it to the list as 5119 anyway.

Right sorry for the slow response didn't realise this had all kicked off!
