So I sold all my watches and decided to only keep two. My everyday watch, my SD43(which I LOVE). And I need your help choosing my 2nd watch. It can be any brand. As long as it's under 5,000$ Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

hugs · 20 July 2017, 11:12 AM

I would get a nice SS Reverso at that price

slide13 · 20 July 2017, 11:15 AM

Hmm lot of good options.

SS Reverso would be appealing as previously mentioned.

Older DJ with holes case on elegant leather is always a favorite of mine, TT always a good option.

New DJ or OP for a dressy/sporty hybrid.

If you want something new and affordable Nomos does some great dress watches for god prices.

antoflo · 20 July 2017, 11:16 AM

I would get a pre owned IWC Portuguese or Rolex Datejust 36mm.

I think the oyster perpetual 39 is perfect

Gold? Stainless? Strap? What have you looked at? What do you like?

I honestly don't know. I like the quality and look of IWC or maybe a Cartier tank on a leather strap.

GermanyMatt · 20 July 2017, 11:48 AM

Omega Aqua Terra?

RichM · 20 July 2017, 11:57 AM

Any of the OP's. Rhodium or blue, would be my choice of color.

run23 · 20 July 2017, 12:00 PM

+1 on the Reverso (if you can find one at that price, which I think you may be able to). That plus the Sea Dweller is an unimpeachable two watch collection.

Chadridv · 20 July 2017, 12:23 PM

I'm not a fan of the reverso. I just simply don't get it. Anyhow, I do really like the ultra thin Jaeger Lecoutre. The SS versions should be within the $5k mark.

I also really love the IWC Portuguese.

I'm not a fan of any Cartier watch.

It's not a traditional dress watch but the new DJ41 would make for a wonderful "suit" watch. The price is a little bit past budget, but the smooth bezel version preowned might be feasible.

It was designed for polo players what is the reason you don't get it?

Yes, but it's not necesarily what first comes to mind when I think "dress watch".

IWC Portofino Chronograph. $5,900 on strap. Can get a great discount anywhere and have it for under 5k.

Tony64 · 20 July 2017, 12:26 PM

$5200 brand new retail from Cartier.

http://www.cartier.com/en-us/collect...olo-watch.html

Negotiate a 5% discount and you're under budget. Done.

You're welcome.

I think this, but don't buy new. Buy second hand. I don't know the seller so do your homework. But here it is at half of retail...(edit:just noticed this ones quartz, not sure it'll effect things. Does me for a little bit...)

Paying retail for a Cartier is a fools errand.

explodingtaco · 20 July 2017, 12:28 PM

Nomos?

No better dress watch for the money on the planet.

Yep.

Maybe this one??

Or this one.

Both under $3800 and worth much more. Great value with Nomos.

Rolex OP or Nomos are both great options.

Tony64 · 20 July 2017, 12:40 PM

Actually don't care for that Seiko for other reasons as well, but a dress watch it's not.

omitohud · 20 July 2017, 12:43 PM

I would get a 1803 DD on leather strap n call it a day. If u r patient, they r out there.

I blame it on the autoconnect.
