Ok, now that got your attention.

You have 10k to spend on any time piece you wish, you can buy new or second hand.

What will it be?

Are you asking because you want some ideas on how to spend your £10K in real life or is this simply one of those "fun" threads where we get to play out our "let's pretend" fantasies?

Either a second hand AP Royal Oak Offshore or a VC Overseas Chrono.

Although a Reverso Duo date in rose gold can >almost< be had. Sure a haggle and 10k cash would get it yes

20k = JLC Duometre chrono
30k = PP Nautilis chrono OR ALS Datograph
40k... honestly, never looked up there biglaugh

10k = 2nd hand white gold daytona on strap. Choose dial carefully.
20k = 2nd hand patek nautilus moonphase. Prefer wg on croc strap / rolex double red seadweller (1970s).
30k = the above 2 together.
40k and over = investment grade. Rolex milsub, daytona PN / military breguet etc. A nice car!

Can't see the point in spending anything more than £100 on a watch.

You're in the wrong section if you think that sort of comment will fly 'round here.

Hey, what's the point of spending £10k or even £100k on a car? You can buy a perfectly nice one for £1000..

Oh hang on? It's PH right? wink

I'm sure he'll post up in the Ferrari/Lambo/Porsche sections shortly that he can't see the point of spending more than a grand on a car yes

And of course they'll all go; 'oh yeah, where was this kid when we needed him?' scratchchin

For 10k I'd probably get one of these.
