Ok 6850E, 8350$, 5350GBP or in lay man's terms Sub C. money!

I would go Sub C. again in a heartbeat but I already picked one up this year so that got me thinking where would I go if I didn't.

I really dont know!

Where would you go?

I got all excited with a title referencing spending 6.85 million :poke:

For that kind of money or less I've picked up a Romain Jerome, Louis Moinet, Franc Vila, Gerald Genta and a few others. All great value for money and so much more interesting (to me) than a Sub C.

the pieces you mentioned are definitely more "unique" than the sub c. but in terms of timeless classic I think that most people would say the subc is in a league of its own. no disrespect the GG the guy did create some amazing designs for PP, AP and breitling.

:huh

What the heck did Gerald Genta do for Breitling???

And I would say that his Royal Oak design has proved to be a rather good 'timeless classic'.

first of all, I'm going pre owned. You can do some serious damage with that amount of money. next question is are we talking about 1 watch for more than 1? if it's 1 watch, with my present collection I'd go looking for a pre owned vc overseas 3 hand, black. not easy to find, but I think you can get 1 at that dollar range. if we are talking more than 1 watch the mind boggles, but I could do some serious value shopping. I would need to think about that for a while.

I would probably go with the new Transocean 1461 or look at a JLC model if you wanted an in house movement.

I'd go second hand, either a JLC Deep Sea or a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
