I love watches but always bought what looked good and not what was expensive.
My beloved 10 year old Bulova makes a Submariner look like shit.
I consider myself a successful person at this point. I make a quarter million dollars a year, have no debt or a family to take care of.
I have about 300k rotting in the bank and was just thinking about buying a “nice watch”
I wanted to buy a full gold rolex daytona in black but it’s virtually impossible to buy a new one.
a friend of mine suggested a Omega diver 300m. these are only going for 5900 if you dont get any gold.
I wouldnt spend more than this on a watch nobody cares about (no offense). if im gonna spend a lot on a watch, the name has to be behind it and everyone knows rolex.
question is, what should i do? i like sporty watches. any other brands i should look into?
Well with that 300k I’d go for something like a Vacheron Constantin Patrimony Traditionnelle Heures du Monde, A. Lange & Shöne Lange 1, Jaeger-LeCoultre Duomètre à Quantième Lunaire, or a Patek Philippe 5146. You can get them in white, gold, yellow gold or (sometimes) red gold. This way you spend between 35k to 45k in a nice, elegant, and (quite) expensive watch and then you’ve got 250k you can invest in stocks, securities, real estate.
If you like Rolex there’s the Day-Date 40mm in that price range.
