Hello i have a very pleasant "problem" of finding a watch for myself around $23000 as a bonus from work.. I already have a Breitling for Bentley 6.75 and i really like the design. Been looking at IWC but i think they are kind of boring, Hublot are cool but with my budget i will get a low end one.. i will not save any money myself for buying a cheaper watch. Happy for suggestions. |

Personally with that kind of budget, I'd go with an AP |

You could get the AP ceramic diver for that price, or at least very close to it |

Wow! thanks! looks awesome, watches are a new interest to me and finding something other than gold rolex/breitlings are hard. I am not a big fan of gold either. Thank you very much for the AP suggestion. |

JLC for me but that's not the kind of money that you should be spending without trying one on and loving it. |

$23k is heading into Patek territory. I'd look at a Nautilus |

H. Moser Monard would get my vote, however I'd probably break it up between a few watches. AP 15400 for around $12-15,000 brand new, probably around 12 if you paid in cash. JLC Reverso with the rest! |

Try the Panerai Radiomir Ora Rosso 3 days. Simple, elegant and a classic. http://www.panerai.com/en/watch-collect ... o-pam00515 |

In that range I'd be looking at something nice from JLC or AP. Or something second hand from A. Lange & Sohne as they can be had for around $18k upwards. |

Very dependent on what you're looking for in terms of use (e.e. diver, sports, dress, etc). Personally, as I'm not remotely a dress watch fan, I'd be heading to an AP AD with all haste for some kind of ROO variant. I'd also check out the higher-end Panerais, and also JLC although, while JLC's are fantastic pieces, most are a little too dressy for me. |

Big watches are best for me, i am a large guy and my 6.75 looks like a regular sized watch on my arm. Really like most materials, just got a leather strap with clasp for my 6.75 and i like it as much as my steel link. Been looking at all watches suggested here and also Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date (116613-Black) with some gold in it. |

Yea but if you are looking for a watch over $20K, I wouldn't even glance at the Rolex mentioned above, unless you go for all gold version. |

The all gold version is not within my budget, it would be awesome but i am not in a position to change the value as it would be very rude even suggesting the bonus was not good enough. Why would you not consider this watch btw? |
