I paid S$8k for my V series Sub.

That's about the max i will pay for a watch - for now.

agsstructures · 27 July 2011, 11:30 PM

Most I would spend on any watch is $10k

thewatchguy93 · 27 July 2011, 11:51 PM

My dream watch would be a Masterpiece with Diamond bezel/dial and bracelet. It retails around about £190,000.00

Obviously that is stupid money... I would buy it if I have the cash...

My "reasonable" dream watch would be a WG daytona with diamond hour markers.. I think its about £18,000.00

Anything over 8k better be golden, through and through

mocheen · 29 July 2011, 02:42 PM

The most I would spend is $10,000 and that would be for a Daytona.

onryo · 28 July 2011, 02:27 AM

It is really a function of how much cash I have at the time. Right now that upper bound is about 6k. I know, small potatoes.

paddy_crow · 28 July 2011, 11:26 AM

I don't dream about watches, so I don't have a dream Rolex.

Ski Dweller · 28 July 2011, 02:46 PM

I changed my mind. I'm going to sell my car and buy a Rolex for $120K.

nch209 · 28 July 2011, 04:22 PM

My number keeps going up! First 5, then 10, and now with a YG GMT2c on the radar... things are getting PRICY!!!

Paracentesis · 28 July 2011, 05:33 PM

One million dollars.

I have zero interest in any of the current lineup other than the one I own so no worries about MRRP...

As far as vintage is concerned... The sky's the limit! I can't afford to dabble at the moment but I know my true Grail will cost a shedload of cash.

In an ideal world I'd have enough disposable income to have all the toys I want but, in reality, I'd be happier spending $100K on a MilSub and driving my 3yo Ute than spending the money on a car just to see it become next to worthless in a few years.

I agree!

For me a Vintage PN Daytona.

There's currently nothing out there that's pulling at me.
I guess I can say that I'm pretty happy with my current collection.

I 've never really put a 'limit' on what I would spend but I've definately become more rational in the past couple of years (if that's possible).

Dweller of the Sea · 28 July 2011, 08:23 PM

Hmm, I don´t know.
Probably around 10k for a Rolex.
I´m willing to spend more on a watch, but over 10k, it would probably another brand like AP, VC or PP.

arttay10 · 28 July 2011, 09:12 PM

I'd go right up to the ultimate price and sell my soul to the devil.....

93 Turbo · 28 July 2011, 09:23 PM

As little as possible, but it never really works out that way...

krzspeedstr · 29 July 2011, 05:38 AM

I started at 5K after college then as I got older and progressed in my career the amount kept going up. My current ceiling was 10K until I bought the SS Daytona. Now I want a YG GMTc or the new Rosegold/SS YMII and that is pushing around 25K.

More than 25K I will start moving up to a PP Nautilus.

The Archer · 29 July 2011, 10:09 AM

How much would I pay for my dream Rolex.....
Hmm............

As much as it would take. Period. End of Discussion.
Dream Rolex: White Dialed Milgauss

horseco · 29 July 2011, 10:10 AM

40,000$ but only after receiving a 30% or better discount

dddrees · 29 July 2011, 10:13 AM

If I want it bad enough, I'll pay what it takes to get it if I can afford it.

nGage7962 · 29 July 2011, 12:27 PM

10K for the DSSD, so I guess i am willing to at least go that far.

car&watch · 29 July 2011, 12:47 PM

Money is such a relative thing. I never dreamed I would spend 5 grand on a watch a few years ago... and now I am up to about 8,000 as the highest I have ever spent. I buy/sell/trade all the time. Right now my dream watch is a YG Sub or YM... and I would love to find a nice one for around ten grand... but I just might be dreaming! Haha... great post!

isampark · 29 July 2011, 02:10 PM

Most realistically it would be 10k, but if I had enough to spend, I would really love to buy a Minute Repeater paying full price. So I would say, unrealistically, around 300k.

ppasiakos · 29 July 2011, 02:19 PM

Well, I'm happy to say that I just purchased my dream watch. The new Sub-C. $8000, seems high enough to me. However I am also going to buy a Breitling For Bentley next year. So who knows.

errol0_7 · 29 July 2011, 08:38 PM

I had a 17k (GBP) AP ROO - felt too much for one watch so I swapped it for two Rolex which get a lot of wrist time, I would love a pltinum day date (40k GBP) but this ain't gonna happen unless I win the lottery or my financial circumstances change. That is a lot to tie up in a watch when it will spend most of its time in the safe like the ROO did.

i just join rolex world, i most like daytone now :]

Rock · 29 July 2011, 10:00 PM

My dream Rolex would be (today) a President. I could not justify spending more than about $10K on any watch so that's not going to happen, but that's OK because there are lots of other Rolex I like for less than that price which would make me just as happy.
