Hi Everyone, i would need some suggestion on watches that i can acquire in that budget
preferred brands would be Rolex and Panerai but if you could suggest something better would appreciate
Thank You.

Simply by asking for suggestions from the Rolex and Panerai range for your budget, can I safely assume that you are looking for a sports watch? Does is have to be brand new? Or do you mind a used one?

With that amount you can either get a new panerai base model or a pre own Rolex sports watch. regards tony

For that budget, there's a wide variety of watches to suit your taste. Are you looking for a sports watch or dress watch?

I would go for a Zenith El-Primero. Should be within your budget after discount.

Thanks for the suggestion
it will be much helpful is you could provide the exact model number of the watch.
i would prefer a brand new watch for daily wear.
the budget could go up to 20k if the watch is beautiful.

grifterfmj · « **Reply #9 on:** April 05, 2014, 06:44:55 AM »

If 20k and for daily wear, I would say SubC 114060

ztomn · « **Reply #10 on:** May 04, 2014, 04:40:01 AM »

Explorer 1 39mm

Mox · « **Reply #11 on:** May 04, 2014, 03:45:37 PM »

If you can push up to 20k, then the El Primero Chronomaster 1969 / Power Reserve should be a damn good buy

Pajero · « **Reply #12 on:** May 04, 2014, 07:35:38 PM »

I would recommend a Rolex submariner no date.

theseira · « **Reply #13 on:** May 04, 2014, 08:04:36 PM »

Rolex la bro steady!

eyez98 · « **Reply #14 on:** May 04, 2014, 08:14:49 PM »

Pre-owned or new?
Can go for pre-owned rolex sub 16610 (15-17k), or no date for even less at 13k plus minus.

APLOVER · « **Reply #15 on:** May 04, 2014, 10:41:44 PM »

A rolex or panerai is still the best as they hold value. Unlike others which drops a fair bit over the years. Pre-owned is the best.

how much is this? around 20k-22k in AD?

From your forum name, I assume you love Mercedes Benz.

Since you love Mercedes, Rolex shall be your choice as Rolex's hour marker 'star' matches those on the Mercedes car.

Daily watch, then must have date function. My personal choice would be Sub Date C (116610) or Explorer II (216570).

Both Sub C or Explorer II will stretch your budget over RM20K for brand new set.

Now the choice is yours.

kenlaw · « **Reply #18 on:** May 09, 2014, 08:17:23 PM »

U can go for pam000

hrea55 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 10, 2014, 12:57:19 PM »

IWC Navitimer World Time would be my choice

james · « **Reply #20 on:** May 10, 2014, 01:04:43 PM »

PANERAI 005, 000, IWC
Actually if u dun mind, pre-owned plenty of choices.

APLOVER · « **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2014, 02:46:44 PM »

Get either the second hand submariner or GMT master II. It will hold its value in years to come

IWC pilots watch XVII

Pams and rollies dont appeal to me

dualcarb · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2014, 07:48:08 AM »

I recently let my 3717 Pilot's chrono go...but then I started to get the IWC itch again. And somehow the mark III bracelet on this Mark XVII was appealing. It is a bit of a struggle as on one hand...I seem to be moving towards watches of a smaller diameter. On the other, this clean looking watch is very attractive in it's own seductive way.

Similar to you I also didn't have anything pulling me towards Panerais and Rolexes. However, after trying a Rolex on, I was smitten by a particular model and never looked back. Panerais, however, will have to keep working it's magic on me...

Back to the OP, I would also try out the Rolex Explorer I

Dear MercedesFanBoy,

Here are some photos of analogue quarts mini-clocks in some interiors of AMGs and other higher end Benz:

They go well together, don't they?
