Nice men's watch for around 3k?

**Tat2Jr** · 06-18-2006, 03:32 AM

The low end Rolex is around $3k. I love mine.

**Anna_O** · 06-18-2006, 03:51 AM

If you're going to buy a Rolex imho you have to be filthy rich and buy one of their high end models. Or be mega-super-filthy rich and buy one like Ron Cadwell has

theres a new steel one with the green faceplate, its rare so you gotta look its around 5k and REALLY something special imho... im no rolex fan but that one is nice its sporty nice quality too so

But if you like Tags then theres no other watch that has that look and pricetag imho, big block around the wrist.

i thought ron cadwell's diamond one was a breitling

**chupachups** · 06-18-2006, 04:09 AM

Heuer is very nice and classy watch, yes.

I have looked at it from just a few inches away, and the fucking thing is so goddamned DAZZLING, I don't know WTF it was --

most dazzled watches are Rolexes. Breitlings come pretty expensive too though.

**slapass** · 06-18-2006, 04:24 AM

Do the used rolex.

**Anna_O** · 06-18-2006, 04:38 AM

Btw, this is the Tag Heuer I meant:

I bought that watch last month. It's very nice, although a little chunkier than it looks in the pictures, but that's pretty standard for an automatic chronograph. I bought the version with the black face.

Anyway, I love it.

P.S. I chipped some of the black on the tachymetre last week, thankfully the purchase insurance on my gold card will cover the repair

.

Yeah, the black one is very nice too. How much did it cost you in Australia?

**chupachups** · 06-18-2006, 05:38 AM

Another nice one, and not as common as the Carrera, is the IWC GST.

Was supposed to get duty free too (another $230 off), but I purchased it 8 days too early so I wont be able to claim it back when I go to Bali next week.

$1100AUD off is a very nice deal. Did you buy it online or in a store?

Nice but isn't it a bit more expensive?

**Tdog** · 06-18-2006, 05:47 AM

Get a used rolex, there are a ton under 3k. Even with gold.

**Jensen** · 06-18-2006, 05:52 AM

I'm a low end kind of dude even though I can pretty much buy what I like.. shake hands with me and have a gold rolex on and I pretty much get a negative view of you.. heck, my brother in law just ordered a black mercedes and I'm already making fun of him..

Yeah, importing expensive stuff to Sweden is insane... You have to pay customs and a 25% tax

I ordered mine from amazon and paid only shipping.. think UPS forgot to collect customs and the 25% tax.. so you could get lucky

i don't have such. I like Tissot and i own the simple model. I like it

I agree up to a certain point... But a nice watch and a wedding ring are the only jewelry a man is allowed to wear. Blinged out watches and gold Rolex'es are a bit lame though, unless you are super-filthy-mega rich

Men's Citizen Promaster Chronograph AY5020-08X ... you won't see me with a gold rolex so this one is more me.. like more "sporty stuff"

Just send it "repaired" or whatever;) Besides, when using fedex/ups you seldom have to pay customs (they are to lazy to check it that fast).

**stickyfingerz** · 06-18-2006, 06:36 AM

I like Movado. They have a number of models in that price range.

**ServerGenius** · 06-18-2006, 06:42 AM

If you want a flashy white thrashy one....go for a rolex and the likes. If you
want a really nice watch.....check out panarai (Italian Navy Watch). At least
you'll be different and have a watch that will get you a lot of nice reactions.

You think Tag Heuer is white trash?

lol yeah IWCs are a bit more expensive just a bit

Amazing company, they have watches you can only dream of. They released a tri watch yellow pink and platinum version boxed $500k each some yrs ago.

If I ever go to Schaffhausen thatll be the factory to visit

**ServerGenius** · 06-18-2006, 08:01 AM

No I don't but also I don't think they are nice watches and heavily overpriced.
Check out those panerai watches...you might like some of them.

They do not keep great time as it is. So you are buying an image. Used is warantied usually too.

Get something swiss made that's not overpriced or overexposed like rolex is. You can ICQ me if you want Anna and I'll show you a couple that you'll really like.

**Nylz** · 06-18-2006, 11:57 AM

Right now I'm digging this one, thinking about getting it.. it's about 3k

**Nylz** · 06-18-2006, 11:57 AM

**tranza** · 06-18-2006, 12:04 PM

I love my Breitling.

**Nylz** · 06-18-2006, 12:04 PM

This thread needs some more pics of beautiful watches (these are a bit more expensive tho)

I dig that watch. Panerai also have a few models in the same style....nice
classic watch. I also like Franck Muller watches.....very nice!

With thrashy rolex I mean the Used Car Dealer style

**madawgz** · 06-18-2006, 12:10 PM

Yeah, will definitely not buy a Rolex. As I said earlier, imho you should buy a high end Rolex and only if you are filthy rich

Our ICQ seems down atm... Been acting weird all week

Can't you post some good examples here?

Nylz: That Hanhart Pioneer Red X looks really nice, but I don't think they have any resellers in Sweden... Can't buy something you havent tried on first

Nice men's watch for around 3k?
