What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(

Exp 1 is the answer.

Exp1 is a great option. The OP39mm with white dial is also worth considering and probably a little easier to get from an AD, I have notice prices are coming down a bit in the greys recently also.

Tons of Omega options. I think you might be selling yourself short on number of Rolex options under $10k, especially if you’re ok with grey market.

I’m okay with grey market - prefer that to second hand. What Rolex options are you referring to?

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms non chrono from the grey market...you might just squeeze it for under 10k I think. Otherwise Rolex sub new off chrono24

Oh sorry to hear that. Rolex Sub then would be my go to (since GS is off the table)

Omega sea master aqua Terra

Well, I already got him a Seamaster 300m a few years ago... would prefer if it wasn’t Omega; how about something between 8-10k?

I’m not at all familiar with this process so 1) can anyone recommend a better venue for this purchase? 2) are any of the quotes I’ve gotten so far good? (My friend’s watch guy said brokers can get Omegas up to 36% off retail?)
