Panerai, Omega PO. If you want a dressier watch, IWC or - lots of $$ - Lange und Sohne.

Grand Carrera RS2 - black leather with red stitching.. 42mm casing? Fun everyday watch, you can probably work it with a suit. Goes well with your ///M3

I already have a TAG Heuer Monza that I bought for 2K and the retail was 5K! It was through an aquaintance so that's why I got such a great deal on it.
Nice, thats an amazing price for the Monaza (discontinued now I believe, correct me if im wrong). I currently own 3 tags(carrera chrono silver dial/formula one quarztz/steve mcqueen monaco), looking for another one, but I am very particular. Also had an Omega seamaster... gave it to my girlfriend going to study in abroad in london for her to remember me by... we broke up the next month after that... now i will never see that watch ever again. I am looking to sell my 50th anniversary rolex with the green bezel, but I never wear, doesnt go with anything I wear - kinda boring.

I just bought my brother an Oris TT1 Diver for a wedding gift. I have always been a breitling fan, but I was really impressed with his watch for the price. I think I'm going to pick myself up a small second version...

can't go wrong with a rolex. I have a Rolex Sea-Dweller that I got new 11 yrs. ago. Paid 3k. A new one retails for $6200. I also have a Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph that is awesome. Next up: Panerai.

Damn, sorry to hear about the Seamaster... oh, well, I'm sure you got over that , best of luck with selling the Rolex, I know they are great watches but somehow I never really fell for them, everybody has one and I really want something more challenging and unique.
I got over her fairly quickly, but not my watch regret it , but whatever. Yes I never really fell for Rolex either, Initially got and my father sported it around for a couple months, then he just left it in a watch winder, I only wore it a few times as well. Formula 1 is now my running watch.. and on occasion for the gym too.

Nice.. I see Rolex as the Ferrari of watches, value seems to skyrocket on the more exclusive models. Funny thing, my Monaco keeps more of an accurate time than my Rolex - I overhauled my Rolex once already (losing 5 minutes two weeks or so I believe).. I haven't had to go that route with my Monaco - its been keeping me content as far as quality and time keeping.
