OP 39 Rhodium would work nicely. Buy gently used and have a grand left over.

SearChart · 20 July 2017, 03:33 PM

This one.

SLRdude · 20 July 2017, 03:38 PM

OP39 plus Everest gator.
I think that's a great daily, but mine is about to get listed in the next few days.
Home projects dictate that I have to downsize.

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...)

After owning an IWC for a few years Ive become a fan of them now...a Portuguese on strap would be my pick.....Im looking at one my myself.

Ferdelious · 20 July 2017, 11:27 PM

Good condition used Explorer I 214270.

SearChart · 20 July 2017, 11:28 PM

I'm sorry but an explorer is not a dress watch, it is a toolwatch pur sang...

IWC Portofino line has a lot of classic dressy styles under $5K

Rolex OP or Nomos are both great options.

Used JLC or Omega, preference towards vintage 60's era, best bang for the buck IMHO Not advocating making a purchase frome-bay but for an example, this is available right now for under 3K on that site

Gharddog03 · 21 July 2017, 12:33 AM

Grand Seiko

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?

sairy · 21 July 2017, 03:35 AM

Why dont try with preowned Sub no date, around $5500 up 2016

I'm late, but I'm like +7 on Nomos. Have two and they're fantastic.

Everyone suggesting options on bracelet, those are 'sporty dress' sure.....but not true dress watches if you're wanting a two watch collection alongside a Sea Dweller. Highly suggest a leather strap when paired with the SD.

I'd suggest Nomos Orion Weiß....and you have the other half of your budget for a nice vacation. Pure class.

Paying retail for a Cartier is a fools errand.

MGWT · 12 August 2017, 06:53 PM

Gosh the op with blue accents is gorgeous.

benvh · 13 August 2017, 09:08 AM

The new JLC date with the sector dial is pretty sweet. I think retail is $5,700 and I'm sure you could get close to $5k with a discount.

You may score a cellini at that price as well: https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-ce...330-roman.html

Agree the Tank is a good dress watch... can't go wrong with that one IMO.
