I need a new watch. I have always wanted a Rolex Submariner Date, but my wife wants to buy me one for our 15th wedding anniversary which is in 3 years. I work at a bank that deals with auto dealerships. Most of my clients wear Rolexs, Breitlings, Omegas, etc. I would like to purchase a brand-new watch now, but want to keep the price under $3000.00. I cant find the prices or costs for any of these types of watches on the internet? Anyone have any ideas of prices and or models I should look at? I need to try to keep up with the Jones.

Please share any ideas or suggestions

Thanks - Ron
 
I switch between a Breitling Chrono Avenger and a TAG Heuer Aquagraph 2000. I paid full boat for the Breitling ($2,550, with bracelet) because I wanted to buy from an authroized dealer and they have to sell for retail. I got a deal on the TAG, it's usually $2,750, but it shouldn't be hard to find someone who will work with you on the price.

Both are big, solid, manly watches, and both are in your price range. I get a lot of comments on the Breitling because (certain) people immediately recognize that it is titanium, but I actually like the TAG better.

Have fun, there are a lot of good watches in the sub-$3,000 range, I envy you, I'd like to be able to shop for a new watch. One other thing - pop into your local Costco on a regular basis, they get some limited amounts of pretty good watches. As is normal for Costco, they might get a certain watch once and never again, so you have to jump when you see something you like. I'm still kicking myself for passing up a Omega Dynamic Chrono at Costco for $625.
 
sinns look pretty good to me, or omega.

i have seen rolex subs for ~$3K though if thats what ya want, ya gotta look though & it wont be brand new, might look brand new though.

myakka is that a GMT master 11?? if so mine is exactly like that, great watch imho and i personally prefer the GMT to the sub.

the GMT is my fav sport watch of all, bar none, nothing else comes close for me.

ya can get a set of 3 bezels for them IIRC, one all black, one blue and red and one black and burgundy, i have heard they arent hard to swap, have been thinking of some myself, like 2 other watches, almost. i saw some on a watch forum, would be cool to have imho.
 
i'll have to look, but it was one of the better known watch forums that had a rolex sub-forum, watch zone/watch time/something like that i had it bookmarked and my PC crashed and i'm still looking for some stuff, i'll post if i can find it, sounded like a really good thing and IIRC it was claimed it wasnt hard to swap out either,

I have the same watch and although it is beautiful, mine is a bit finicky. How about yours? My Omega Speedmaster seems to be more of a workhorse.
