I am looking to get myself a new watch for my birthday. I haven't bought a watch (an expensive one anyway) in over 10 years (Last one was a Rolex Sub) so I need to make this one count as I don't do it often. My budget is $10k. I want something that is going to be timeless and not look out of date in 10 years. I don't have a big wrist so it needs to not be huge.
Right now I am considering the following.
Breguet Marine:
JLC Master Control Moon:
GO PanomaticLunar:
VC Overseas:
The Breguet is my favorite but it's also the most expensive and the current version is the oldest of the three watches. The JLC is the most timeless, although it does feel like it's quite large for the style. I foolishly tried on similar watches from Patek and ALS and they were smaller and looked more right than the JLC. I have been wanting the GO for a few years now but someone told me it was a knock off of an ALS. Lastly, the new Overseas. I haven't tried this one on but I have never been a fan of the Overseas, however the new version is better looking.
Are there other watches I should consider? I haven't been keeping up with the latest watches at all. I would like to get something that is reasonably well priced for what you get. The work that is done in-house the better.
