OK
Have a watch incoming and I have already decided it is not right for me.
I am going to trade it or sell it and buy something else.
Lets say I have 7K max to spend. I have no problem buying used for gray market.

Here are some watches I want (many won't work with my budget)
I am also open to other ideas....

What do you guys suggest? Keep in mind I have smaller wrists (6.8 in) so 44 mm is my max size and I am much more into sports watches than dress watches

Also, I have no desire for a Chrono... I just won't use it so theres no use for it.

Azimuth Mr Roboto, SP-1, BMF, Blue Tudor Snowflake Sub, SS Tudor Jumbo Day Date, Tudor Big Block Chrono with 12 hr bezel, SS Rolex Oyster Quartz, Rolex Milgauss white or GV, Rolex DSSD, Older SD & other Vintage Rolex Sports models, Omega ProPlof, Omega Alaska Project, Omega Snoopy, Corum Bubble Skeleton, Glashutte Original Sports Evolution Perpetual Calendar, AP RO Dual Time, AP ROO, Patek Aquanaut or Nautilus and I will listen to other offers BUT that mostly covers my current desires (well at least the realistic ones can't find a current model )Plat or RG prez in that budget

WOW
This is one thread where I thought Id have lots of replies.
Guess I get no sympathy with my choices here haha.

I would suggest the DSSD or the Milgauss GV. Both of these watches bring a "not your everyday watch" to the table, and IMHO, are worthy of your consideration. They would fit pretty good with your budget, too.

WatchTimes · 7 April 2009, 01:55 AM

I have been considering the GV but I really like a date on my watch.
As for the DSSD there will be another one in my future (had the first one in Michigan) but as its a current production watch I have a few years to grab one :)

In my area Rolex is everywhere and thats why I like to go vintage or go other brands

Glashütte Original has caught my eye big time. Of course, there's not a dealer within 500 miles of here.

You already know how I feel on this issue. That Perpetual Calendar of the Glashutte Original Sport variety would be on my wrist in a heart beat.

Ahhh Terry, I have been waiting for the voice of reason....

I just have never even seen a used one on the market and
I have to go used to afford it.....

Unless someone comes up with a great idea or I find a used Sport
Evo Perp Calendar I think its going to be a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.

Terry Newton · 7 April 2009, 04:56 AM

The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms is a beautiful watch. I tried it on at Christmas time and was sorely tempted in to buying it. The MSRP on the one I was looking at was $15,000. That kind of put the brakes on the deal though, I am sure I could have gotten it discounted. In the meantime we can pray to win the lottery, you get the State Lottery, I win the Mega Millions

and we both can afford the watch that we both love.

Nice choice.
