Someone I know is itching to get his next watch. He has a gold AP, Patek and a Gold Rolex. (Yup, he is RICH!) He is 45 years old and has about $25 to $30K to spend. He is asking me for suggestions! Which brand and model do you guys think offers MOST value for this kind of money?! Help!! |

I'm not sure that the words VALUE, WATCH, and $25-30K all work in the same sentence, but I guess it is relative to how much money you have (wish I had that problem to deal with). Based on what you say he already has...how about the following? 1. ALS Lange 1 2. GO PanoMaticReserve XL or PanoNavigator (with a deep discount could get within your range) 3. JLC Duometre a Chronographe (again with a good discount would get within your range) |

Vintage. Start by looking at double red sea dwellers. That's what I'd do anyway. |

Humpff!! is what I said first!! My experience in luxury brands doesn't extend beyond the Breitling-Panerai-Omega troika. So, what complications should one expect for this price range? |

I'd get a Patek 5712 or 5726 before the price increase in July |

I'd consider the white gold IWC portuguese perpetual. Right in that range. |

I'd take that Glashutte Chronometer in a heartbeat over the other two. It's less expensive and the finish and quality is just as superb. 2nd option would be the Lange...not a fan of that Breguet at all. If I had $25g laying around right now I'd buy an AP Safari and use the rest for a Green Ceramic Rolex Sub. |

That Breguet is super choice...
