Starting my collection with RADO Golden Horse

Welcome and your RADO is too nice to keep hidden... Classic piece

Welcome and that Rado is nice. Are you looking for 2 watches or 1 watch, with a total budget of $10k.

If it were me I’d go with Omega Aqua Terra and Cartier Tank. Those 2 are about $10k total.

Hi Sherzod - welcome to the Crunch and the depressing journey ahead! I know it’s very early on in your search, but before someone can realistically help/recommend I think you need to share a bit more information. Some easy questions to help narrow the focus:

• How large is your wrist and does the size of a watch matter a great deal to you? This really only matters if you have a very small wrist, but never hurts to ask.

• Do you have an affinity towards one watch style versus another? You have dress watches, dive watches, pilot watches, etc. Each has a very distinct identity.

• Would you want a watch with a specific watch complication as part of your collection? Do you want a watch that displays both the day and date, as well as the time?… a GMT watch that displays a different time zone (ideal for traveling)?… a chronograph that you can use to time how quickly you down a juice box?

• Do you prefer bracelets on your watches?

• Any specific brands you like?

• Do you need to be able to try on the watch before you purchase?

There are many more questions that can help narrow your options, but I think these are the basic ones to help get ball rolling. 👍

I’d also sneak in a bonus g-shock to round out the whole collection 😎… but I guess that’s when the problems start.. “just one more watch and my collections complete” 😂😇

Actually 10K is plenty of budget to get a proper collection with additional 2(?) watches. Even I would love not to spend everything and always getting the most for your money.

So actually you started quite well with the Rado Golden Horse as a sporty yer elegant watch. Rado is one of those who offer a lot of bank for it's buck. First class materials, good manufacturing, own unique designs, a lot of power reserve and a simple and battle prooven movement which is relatively cheap in service by anyone.

So for a three watch collection I would add two of those three: a Diver, a Dresswatch or a Chronograph.

So I will focuse know onbthe divers only here.

As a diver you can get as well a lot of Rado.

For example the Captain Cook line. But I wouldn't go for the normal one rather to a two tone model. By my opinion life and in metal they look awsome. Especially the green gold one. Not just because of the color. The two tone had applied indizes. This makes quite a difference. You can quite easy change the strap to rice strap as it costs less than 200 bucks.

Or you go for one of the high tech ceramic models, whichcare also awesome. With open heart (skeleton) or without. A watch that visually never ages due to it's scratch resistance.

Another alternative is the Montblanc Iced Sea with it's unique dial in different colors.

If you want to go all in into divers, I would recommend the Glashütte Original SeaQ. But only without metal strap to stsy in your budget.

Hey, welcome aboard!

Great start! Love the Rado.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you sir)

Thank you for the thorough response) I like your choices, but I was not planning to keep everything within one brand Rado)

Welcome aboard. Your current watch looks like a bit of an all rounder so I'd probably go full sports with a Tudor Pelagos, Omega Seamaster or Omega Speedmaster. Then full dress with something like a Grand Seiko Elegance or Longines Flagship.

Thank you for the response! What a nice community here willing to help) glad I have registered here)

So the answers for your questions:

• Average to large size wrist, 8 inches. I would like the watch to be proportional on my wrist I guess.

• So I liked the looks of Patek Philippe Nautilus and IWC Portugiuser but those are way above my budget..) I usually dress casually, maybe my watch must match my casual, not too formal dressing habits.

• About complications I have not thought to be honest) my current Rado has a metal strap, so maybe can consider leather or rubber straps too.

• I would like to try them, but where I live there are no retailers((

Hope enough)

Thanks, I was actually planning to gift my wife a Cartier Tank, she really likes this model. Is it unisex? We could share and I could kill 2 rabbits with one shot😂😂

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! I like your suggestions by the photos) how much do these cost?

It is unisex and you’re welcome

You should be able to get 2 of them for £10,000. The Tudor and Longines would be the cheaper 2 to get. All beautiful watches though 👍

Welcome to the crunch my friend 👌

Thanks 🙏

Formex reef gmt, fortis stratoliner chronograph and longines master collection small seconds, you could get all 3 for 10k

Thank you) I guess I have to do my research, because I even don’t know about the first two brands you mentioned))

Well, I did some research after your comment, and I fell in love with the Omega Speedmaster 50th anniversary (silver Snoopy), but then found out that it sells well above MSRP and almost impossible to find…🙈😂

Yeah Limited editions always gonna be overpriced

You can get big discounts on MSRP GO SeaQ. I got my 39mm SeaQ on bracelet for $8200, new.

Welcome to Watchcrunch 🎉 beautiful #rado and maybe go for an Omega or Grand Seiko

Welcome to WC and to Rado!
