I'll be contrary to most. You don't need anything. You have all the bases covered. From dress to work. But if you MUST, save for a repeater or sonnerie. Seiko credo or F.P journe's. Something different.

My own favourites are:

-Submariner Ceramic LV
-Datejust Turn-O-Graph White Dial
-Milgauss GV
-Datejust with Jubile bracelet
-GMT Master II SS or steel/yellow gold

I am now 28 years old and I think everything will fit on my wrist and in 50 years also.

price limit is 9000Dollar / this I earned in the last summer job


P.S.: please excuse my awful english

OUCH! I'd give both my Rolex watches for a couple nights with her! She is just drop dead gorgeous and this from a man that usually favors brunettes.

I think you need either a DJ with a Super Jubilee or a DD.

It seems you have all the sports configurations covered, except for a unidirectional bezel, which you may or may not need.

I'm not sure what the rectangular watch is, but it appears to be a dress watch.

The robust dressy qualities of the DJ or the DD would seem to cover all the bases, in my judgement.
