May I also suggest a two tone Chronomat? I hear they are lovely
Seriously, this is a great time to buy used as prices are very low. You can even get a 233 for under 10K, which I spent around 13K for! I

I just got a sizable bonus and I'm thinking about spending part of it on a watch. Budget is probably anything less than $10k. I prefer used to new, so base the prices accordingly. I'm a little all over the place in my thoughts. Here's some that I'm considering(in no particular order): 1) Rose Gold Navitimer/Cossie on a strap 2) Some Panerai...although I'm a bit lost in all the models. Probably an in-house movement and I like the Luminor cases. 3) Rolex Sea Dweller Deepsea 4) Bentley 6.75 5) Bentley Lemans if I can find one. Other ideas? Something in the 44-48mm range, interesting movement, etc? |

Your Chronomat is a lovely piece, but I'm not a big fan of Chronomats or two-tones, so it has two strikes already

Have you considered IWC? The Portuguese is within your range (although might be a little small) and a second hand BP or BI will be pretty close. |
