The best value for money in these categories
Hi Guys,
My dream collection would have the following: Dive watch, Chrono, GMT, understated dress and a show stopper watch (ideally PM and flashy). In your opinion what are the best and cheapest options to fill in these categories? Ill start with my opinion: Dive watch: Tudor BB ETA on RubberB Chrono: Daytona (potentially moon watch, but the durability of the daytona wins) GMT: Tudor BB GMT (close competition from Exp ii) Understated dress: JLC Ultra thin reverso (duo face my preference) Show Stopper: DayDate (so many options for this one. Gold Sub, Royal oak, Patek etc but value for money it tough to beat in PM the day date.)

Cheapest? Invicta.....or worse Best? Purely subjective, but you're on the Rolex forum so expect Rolex as the answer. |

I am interpreting "best and cheapest" to mean "most value" for the price. Under that pretense, I say the following...
Diver: Pelagos LHD Chrono: Speedy Moonwatch Pro Hesalite GMT: Tudor BB GMT Dress: IWC Portuguese Chronograph To further the value proposition, I would, and you could, buy all from trusted sellers. I can't think of a "value" show stopper... maybe the Grand Seiko Peacock. That said, my overall showstopper.. the ALS Datograph! |

Best:
Dive watch: Sea-dweller or DSSD if you have a large enough wrist. Chrono: El Primero 1969 or Daytona GMT: BLNR Understated dress: PP Calatrava with hinged caseback. Show Stopper: PP Nautilus or AP Royal Oak. --- Cheapest (that's still decent): Dive: Aquaracer, Hydroconquest Chrono: Speedmaster Racing or Carrera 1887 GMT: The new Tudor or TAG Calibre 7 GMT Understated dress: Nomos Orion or vintage Omega/Zenith handwind. Show Stopper: Vintage President or Datejust I guess. Not really interested in this category. |
