If you had the money for a Daytona - what WOULD you buy?

[jshell]

Just as it says, if you had the RRP of £6350 ready to spend on 1 piece, then what would it be? Would you buy the most hyped watch of all time, or would the smart money go on something else more exotic, but would be enduring in design, classy and hold (most) of it's value? Would it be new or pre-owned?

Forget the Deep Sea or expensive end Speedy's!

Opinions??

I'm really turning onto those IWC's, I have to admit. Do they hold value quite well?

Had an Omega in for a service and back at shop today, they're an IWC dealer (as well as Patek) so will have a closer look!

Nice call on the Zenith, but squarish cases really don't suit me!

(not mine by the way!)

I'm not sure what I'd buy really, I love the Daytona's but couldn't see me buying one

That is SUCH a rip off.

I'm surprised Rolex haven't stamped on it.

I thought that had been 'shopped'!

Cup cakes are in these days. Imagine a blinged up cup cake with ruby-based cream topping and emerald and sapphire sprinkles!!

Yes, at weddings but the sort of bride who has cup cakes at weddings probably marries a man who aspires to own that AP.

So, are AP good, or form over function? They're certainly expensive in a 'Rolex is kinda cheap' way....
