No...not for my for my "boyfriend" you sick bastards, for me. B-day is coming up and I'm buying myself a watch. Client suggested I get what he has a 'Roger "Dubois Excaliber Trubillion", after looking it up I've decided I'm not going to mortgage my house and have my wife leave me ::) So I want something a little more practical. Any suggestions?

$3-5k
Unless this is an investment thingy, and that would be a mechanical in the the 25-50k range, paying that much for bling is stupid. You know that Coach. WTF! ::)

$3-5K or $25-50k (which is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my price range)?

i like fossil
Those are nice looking but quality isn't very good. My girl got me one as a gift and it stopped working the very next day. So i brought it back and exchanged it for the same style and that one stopped working the very next day also. wtf.
I ended up getting a more expensive Bulova and it's worked fine.

Well, at that price range, you're paying too much for digital crap. If you pay a tad more, you can get a real *real* mechanical watch. And, if you have a 'friend' who knows a bit about the time stuff, you might be able to get a nice Rolex Submariner, at a good price, just like James Bond. :)

You may enjoy Omega watches they are beautiful and built amazing. Without being to flashy at all

I got a Rolex recently and never where it due to its expense and the fact it gains value if kept perfect....I prefer Omega's for formal and everyday use...

i think this watch would suit you best

lol@ a rolex gaining value
I have 2 rolex and a Raymond Weil Nabucco Rivoluzione. The Nabucco is by far my favorite watch. I'm looking at trading in one of the Rolex for a Graham chronofighter.
If you can spend around 4-5k check out the Nabucco. They are tanks too!

Get a Rolex if you want to wear what anyone with 5k to spend wears. Otherwise, try these...

I agree with you paying 3-5K for watch does really make much sense. It won't appreciate in value and a couple of years you will find it on ebay for $550. In the 3-5k you are paying buying entry level crap and making the retailer happy since the watch is marked up 60%
buy a watch for $300, take the remaining 4k+ and take a nice trip with the wife to Spain.

Timex Ironman, represent! So, when the ump for the tourney says 'no watches or jewelery,' I just toss it over the fence and retake my stance. Fark. Bunch of pussies.
-
In that price range nothing will hold its value better than a Rolex because they appreciate. After that (for a little more) I'd say Panarai and probably Breitling. Omega's are just Rolex wannabes. :)

no but i could use one :D
Marty, I am bad at math as well :(

I like that. Whats the price range of it? If I can fine something I REALLY like I'd be willing to pay more for it. Just have to justify it with my wife ;D

What idiot spends over $100 on a watch? Unless you're trying to impress others with your money management skills.

Well I had one of these Breitlings given to me as a present from my ex. I got to pick it out. But, my big mouth got her pissed and I never got it. So lesson learned is shut up till after your birthday. So I still have my Casio Pathfinder. My Seiko 600m dive watch was my favorite

You must have a half million in the bank to blow 5 grand on a watch.
Congratulations.
I know people with much more, who wear a $20 watch. Some have cash, but don't care about foolish things like an overpriced watch.
It's like the guy who buys a Jaguar, instead of a less expensive car that goes just as fast.
It's status symbol garbage.
That's the point here.

Quoted for the truth.
Just hit up a dealer, and try on some. If you want to do research, try http://www.watchuseek.com/site/forums.htm
If you want to go iconic style watches for that price, rolex submariner, omega speedmaster, maybe breitling navitimer and omega planet ocean.
If you want to go something different, look at Sinn, Panerai, glashuette. If your budget stretches, or prepared to go second hand IWC.
Find what you like, and what looks good and don't worry about what others think

Great suggestions.
Coach, the watch market is MUCH broader than it once was. There's a lot of great looking, automatic, stylish watches out there in your price range. Hit up a Tourneau store or grab the WatchTime special edition that came out last month and do a little shopping before you settle on some gay ass Omega, Tag Heur or Rolex (unless it's a stainless Daytona w the black mother of pearl face and black leather band).
No offense meant to the tasteless chaps who wear the above.

Jesus man, are you just constantly sitting on a dildo? You have to relax a little.
Teh coach works 20 hour days and supports a family. I realize that he who dies with most toys still dies, but blasting him for wanting to spend 5 k on a watch is just silly. Don't be such a fucking democrat.

I picked up a nice Sinn watch for Christmas last year in Frankfurt. I think it's as nice as my IWC. Rolex/Breitling/Omega are nice, but expect to see them often. If you're looking for something "different" try B.R.M. I have the B.R.M. V12 and many people ask about it.
My favorite right now is this:

Joe, def go for a Rolex. There usually don't increase in value unless you buy gold, but they will keep most of their value and if you buy a nice certified used one you will always be able to sell it for what you paid. Just be prepared to spend about $500 a year on upkeep. Do this and it will last to pass on to your kids.

I got a heck of a deal on a Bulova. I went to Macy's and the had their watches 50-60% off. I got another 20% off for opening a Macy's account. Had $100 that was a father's day gift so I put that toward it. I walked out of there with less than a little over $100 of my money in the watch and a extended warrenty included. Paid and closed the Macy's account off before interest was charged. Everytime I get a compliment on my watch I laugh and tell the story. Love the watch!!

It is recommened that you service a Rolex once per year and that is the cost that Rolex charges. Take it up with them not me.

I think the overhaul recommendation is every 5 years but I could be wrong..plus maybe that's not what you were talking about.

To OP- I love nice watches. Let me tell you something- buy a watch that is beautiful to look at, stands out, will draw attention without looking too flashy. Right now, if you shop hard, you can find a Hublot Big Bang for probably 5-6k online. Possibly slightly used but who cares, they are 10k brand new. Let me tell you something- the pedigree of this watch is second to none. It will keep it's value if not increase in value, it looks fantastic and will make the average joe say DAMN as well as a millionaire at a banquet. That's the thing- a breitling or omega looks nice and will impress some people, a rolex will impress just a few more, but a Hublot will open the eyes of the "right" people if you catch my drift. Shows you not only have some cash but TASTE and CLASS as well. Any moron can go drop 5k on a rolex, a truly refined high class individual buys Hublot. Trust me- go to some high end watch shops and ask their opinion. They will tell you you cannot go wrong. This is what you buy when you want to define yourself, set YOU apart from THEM. Trust me on this.

No no, it is not once per year. It is about every 5. What they do is take the entire watch apart sprocket by sprocket and switch out any pieces that aren't perfect, the shitty part though is they will then try to upcharge you for a new crystal glass, or new hands or something else if it is defective. The watch does come back to you damn spanking new.
i know this because I have one. Bought it a few years ago as a gift to myself with some stock that I made a quick dollar on.
-
Here's a before and after.(this is not my watch) I need to get mine serviced soon.
Apparently Rolex changed their service rec. to 7 years.
-

This is true.
I have a nice Rolex and a good Breitling, but i never wear them because i will probably just get shot for them one day. Plus i always wear long sleeves at work so it's pointless. If i'm going to a wedding or something fancy i might wear one, but i typically find watches just a pain to wear.

With a year warranty.

Mine's an Armani watch - cost me $400 when I bought it last year. I love it - looks good when dressed casual or smart but I wear it in work mostly. Wouldn't mind a Brietling but like others have said in the thread, can't really justify spending 3-5k on a watch - I'd rather put that sort of money towards a car or a real good holiday.
-
lol no worries.
I think the overhaul recommendation is every 5 years but I could be wrong..plus maybe that's not what you were talking about.
Didn't mean it to sound that way. lol Actually you may be right.
-
My most expensive watch is about $500 I bought several years ago. I have about 7 that I have accumulated over the years. The one I wear most often is a $20 timex I got at Walmart 3 years ago. I wear it to work as I have broken/lost too many watches to risk it anymore. I had a wealthy brother in law that was the epitomy of fashion. He was showing me a watch one time that cost him about $25K. I of course didn't recognize the name because I'm not into the status symbol stuff all that much and he was disappointed. He said he got that reaction from almost everyone, so he traded it in on a Rolex because most people knew that one.. This was a few years ago when Rolex was king.
I understand Coach wanting to buy something like that as a long lasting gift to himself. I wouldn't spend that much on a watch, but I've spent money on custom paint jobs, or classic cars that other people thought was a waste of money.. to each his own.
