Guys,

I have created a short list of watches I love and am trying to identity which one I can get a great deal on new or used.

Here they are in order of preference:

Patek Nautilus Chrono All RG (this is very expensive and unless I get a great deal, out of reach)
AP Equation of Time
AP Skeleton Perpetual Calender Chrono
AP All RG Royal Oak Chrono - Black or White Dial

Can you guys please give me help with identifying what these can be had for as % off MSRP and if any can be had as a great deal used with box and papers?

Thank You

I love the eq of time on leather strap

I am not sure about the prices and/or discounts, but check chrono24, you can get a feeling of what the pricing is on the different pieces. I wouldn't count on a great deal on the PP (unfortunately, because that is one badass piece).

That's what I was thinking, and if the PP does not happen,then with the savings from not buying the PP, add an offshore as well as the ROC!!

kilyung · 6 September 2013, 07:16 AM

I want that 5980-1r.

Vipes · 6 September 2013, 07:39 AM

My favorite is the skeleton perpetual but in SS

sugiharto · 6 September 2013, 10:00 AM

All of them in gold??

h999r · 6 September 2013, 11:00 AM

Skeleton rose gold. ... Easy.

Hairdude1 · 6 September 2013, 12:54 PM

I say PP but I LOVE the ROC in RG

benlee · 6 September 2013, 01:12 PM

The EOT in RG. I do hope they come in black dial as well.

AK797 · 6 September 2013, 01:17 PM

As others have said the PP first if not then the ROC. Iconic watches have the best price in UK, I think you can get them down to £25K.

£25k for a new all rose gold chronograph is a good deal. If I can't get a similar deal (30% or more) on the other watches, then this will be the one. I think the chrono is very slick, but the skeleton and EOT strike me as a more unique and special watch. This combined with the fact that I have owned other Chronos and never actually use that function on a watch, is why I put the EQ and Skeleton in front of the Chronograph.

I would think there would be some great deals around for a new (even more so for a second hand) Equation of Time or a RG Skeleton Perpetual Calendar, although I do understand these watches are probably more rare. The Skeleton has been around for quite a few years so there must some second hand ones floating around.The only issue with the skeleton in that I am 6ft, 250lbs and have a big wrist, so the smaller 39mm size isn't ideal for me. Even on the 41mm chrono with bracelet, I actually need to add a link or two on the bracelet.

AP All RG Royal Oak Chrono - Black.

bmwboris · 6 September 2013, 06:41 PM

Soly20 · 6 September 2013, 10:53 PM

First choice would be EOT then the PP.

I think its a great price too. I actually use the chronos quite often esp for cooking and running. Both dials are beautiful but I went with white/silver on the brown strap. The black looks fantastic on bracelet.

Manofsteelpt · 6 September 2013, 11:19 PM

That PP is just sick!!! For the OP, given ur size, I believe the 39mm will be too small for your wrist. I had a SS PC and though I loved it, it ended up being too thin and small on me. Of the pieces listed, I'd say the 41mm ROC due to size.

DreambreaX · 7 September 2013, 01:42 AM

i like numnber 3

ninotcs · 7 September 2013, 02:16 AM

I would NEVER buy a used PP.
When you buy a PP, its a very personal thing.
Yes, you will pay more, but are people buying PPs really concerned about saving money buying used vs. new?

Occasionally but I have other braceleted chronos too, and I also don't need dumbbells when I have the gold on.

I ran 5miles today with my YG GMTIIc. Didn't want to take it off and store it somewhere... Got my weight workout done simultaneously.

SamGMT · 7 September 2013, 03:37 PM

That's easy! Any AP for me!
