b16a2 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I would buy the blue SMP, or the GMT (black and silver bezel) with black dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Genuine SMP Chrono. You can find them for around 2K. If you want a strap, I'd suggest an Oris Artilier Chronograph with the modified 7753 movement on a deployant croc strap. It'll set you back $1700 and they are beautiful.

crystalcranium Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 This will go for less than 2K. beautiful and very well cared for. Near mint http://cgi.ebay.com/Omega-SEAMASTER-CHRONO...1QQcmdZViewItem here's a new one just a little over your budget http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-OMEGA-SEAMASTER-JA...1QQcmdZViewItem Im sure you can find one for 2k with a little searching Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadweller4000 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Wouldn't go for a gen SOSF, the rep is too good. I'd go for a Sinn U1 or if possible for a U2! Just can't beat the value... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasigi Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 What currency is the 2,000 in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadan Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 What currency is the 2,000 in? USD $ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 I love my Tag Monaco, which can easily be bought for around 2 grand and which will never be accurately repped. Tags have good brand recognition (and thus pretty good resale value) if you care about that, and a classic design. Not sure I'd spend 2 grand on anything as well repped as a Breitling, Omega, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drop Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 How about a vintage moonwatch? Can be gotten on Watchnet for about that amount... a classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 A pre owned datejust will always stand the test of time. Classic look and will hold it's value, if not appreciate. If Rolex isn't your thing my next choice would be an Omega. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seank1 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Oris TT1 Diver $1,565.00 msrp. One heck of a watch for the price. Sean K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioarmani Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 Saw a perfect-condition previously owned SMP chrono for $1895 last week. Only one year old and already almost 50% off--now if only Rolexes could do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
