We've got four of our editors to consider the question for you: what's the best buy in mechanical watches under $5000 – and what's your new prize, once you have it on the wrist, going to make you want to save for? Well, read on, friends. We have listed our top mechanical watches for under $5,000 and a similar (more expensive) watch that you're going to start to yearn for once you're hooked on watches. Cara Barrett �C The NOMOS Z��rich And The A. Lange & S?hne Saxonia Automatic 1 OF 8 Well, NOMOS and Lange may be the obvious choice here, but what can I say? I unequivocally LOVE Nomos and Lange – I am who I am! My choice for a first mechanical watch under $5,000, would have to be the NOMOS Zürich in stainless steel with white dial for $4,180. And for the “save for later watch” I would choose the Lange Saxonia Automatic in white gold.

a little browsing at the boutique
ok, i had enough of all these amazing pictures from you guys, and just had to see what all the fuss was about as i had never handled an AP before. went to a local boutique and got to play with the following models.....all i can say is WOW!, AP makes a fine watch. each was really special and each felt like an event when i tried it on. fun trip!

Nice lume shot of my Omega
Looked down and the lume was shining bright on my Olympic version of the Seamaster Omega from Vancouver. She was shining strong tonight! Enjoy my friends!Aloha from Kauai, Tom

I joined the Speedy club
Hey All,Recently came across an Speedy Broad Arrow Re issue 1957 on a local vintage watch dealer, tried it in the store and instantly fall in love with it (did not bought it at the store as they were asking too much). Don't really understand why a SpeedMaster is not in my collection in my early days of becoming a WIS is beyond me..:-sPicked this one up from a trusted dealer here in TRF, thanks Mr.W!Now I truly understand the allure of the SpeedMaster; classic design, rich history, iconic watch! It is hard to resist this beautiful timepiece from Omega!Enough talk..here are some pics, not great ones as I took them in the office with the Iphone and some photoshop tweaks.And yes..I have realized this Speedy should be 3594.50..not what it is on the electronic bean counter..silly me
