Editors' Picks: A Sub-$5,000 Mechanical Watch To Buy Now, And The Watch It Will Make You Want To
So what do you do when you have $5,000 to spend on a watch? Read HODINKEE of course. 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.

Need some guidance between 5327 vs 5320
I was initially trying to aquire a 5712for the past year and now w the price increase I'm not sure the piece is really worth it to me at that valuation so I decided the step up my game. I'm not looking to flip the watch and will ultimately give it to my son. I like aspects of both watches but leaning toward the more classic 5327. From a collectors point of view, which do you think will have better valuation 30yrs down the road should he need to sell. I'm not looking for investment or profit just something he can sell if he needs to in the future that will yield him the highest return. I know we don't have crystal balls and that's why I think a collectors opinion is best because they will base it on what's important in the current situation and what people value as important.

Love chid of a Nautilus and RO??
Is it just me, or does the New Hublot Big Bang Torbillon look like a funky mashup of a Nautilus (with the ears) and a Royal Oak with the screws on the bezel? image.jpg
