Watch suggestions

Hello watchfam! I am currently in the market for something special, I am willing to spend at most around $1,500 for a watch, preferably vintage. I want something to impress, something significant, either mannual winding or automatic, no quartz. I'm looking forward to hearing your suggestions, currently I'm looking at either an Omega Speedmaster Date, a Rolex Cellini, a Ulysse Nardin 135-22, an Omega Seamaster Cosmic, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Power Reserve, or a Rolex Oyster Precision. Keep in mind these are all vintage or used so they are readily available at this price.

Who do you plan to impress? If you plan to be an influencer you will need to buy all of the ones that you listed and more.

I can only tell you what I am looking for, my tastes. If you had one you might impress me (probably not).

I am always on the hunt for an Eterna Kontiki (has to have the case back), Gruen Pan American, and a Universal Geneve Polerouter. Despite not liking Roman numerals, I would take a Rolex Marconi if offered.

When I say something to impress, I'm just talking about a piece with some kind importance or something with a cool story, a conversation starter. I've done some research on the Marconi, it's a beautiful piece, that is a great suggestion. Thank you very much!

More people have asked me about this, than any other watch I’ve ever owned. It has the pedigree , a real function, and a great story. $1500 will get you a great used one.
