What would you buy, if you had that to spend wether it be straight off the shelf or 2nd hand?

Thinking maybe a PAM615 but needing inspiration and more ideas. Interested to know what you'd come up with!

I'd keep the money. No watch is worth that much. None.

I thought that too then picked up a GMT Avenger on Easter.

I guess I'd do precious metal and maybe rolex gmt with green face, bluesy type of watch. I'm not too into 904L it irritates my skin, but their pm pieces are solid. The GMT Avenger is a watch you should consider adding to the rotation.

I cannot agree more with this statement.

In some ways I agree with you but in this particular case I don't. I have surplus money, I also sold a piece for around £6000 so I have that to spend. I could spend more if I wanted but I think in my current financial situation its more than a manageable sum.

I've laid down a deposit on a PAM 615 and should have it in the next couple of weeks. I can't wait!

Cheers

As stated above, i think you would have enough for a second hand steel nautilus or maybe a 2nd hand AP RO? Or AP ROO diver?
