Stainless steel 10k watch ?
At 5k omega speedmaster had always been a great watch. But the Apple iWatch, beside needing charging, i think has upended the market except if u travel and can’t charge.
ScottSinger wroteI wouldn't spend money on a Rolex or omega. But that's just me.Just my opinion, but if someone was going to spend 10K I would probably only consider two watches - if u can do w/o or minimum markup a new Rolex SS gmt Pepsi or at discount IWC big pilot petite prince, 46+ millimeters.

Entry level IWC can be had near that and are much better watches IMO.
Crimson92 wroteHow? Entry level IWC uses the same ETA movement found in most watches that sell for less than $500. It is not superlative chronometer certified and the construction of the case and material is not as durable.ScottSinger wroteI wouldn't spend money on a Rolex or omega.

If you want to discuss solely design of the IWC, then that is another conversation.
Gray_Panther wroteDouble check but the ETA movements are used using IWC’s own specs and finishing. I believe IWC goes to ETA, where as 20 years ago or so IWC received the ebauches from ETA and worked on them themselves.How?

With a very beautiful and historically significant 36000bph automatic (in house) movement:
Available in different designs and sizes (also smaller sizes).
Starts at about 5k I believe
stooker wroteEarly Speedy's are perfect with these cars. I think this works pretty well also:My vote is for the Speedy Pro. Looks great with a leather band as well.
The Rolex Daytona in SS - one modern, one classic
ScottSinger wrote2 year waiting list for the new ceramic SS Daytona, or be ready to pay $20,000+Is there a mark up on the Daytona ? and waiting list ? if you can get one for ~12K no- brainer.
Or you can find the last version, used, for $13,000+
People go out of their way to compliment it, at work, on the train, etc.
