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.

Apologies to AP Thread / RF Members
Gents,On Wednesday evening I made an inflamatory and disrespectful post - for this I am sorry. I take full responsibility for the stupid and inflamatory comments which I made. They were off base and in the words of my late Father completely out of line. Its not important nor is is necessary for me to provide reasoning behind why I said what I did - simply I was wrong. Please permit this lapse of judgement as my mulligan on the board. Regards. Ed

humidity under crystal?
actually not a rolex issue, but with my omega planet ocean. Not sure if the crown could've been loose when I showered or swam but I've never encountered this before. Should I take it to omega for service? I'm inclined to do so in case there is any long term issues.any insights are appreciated thanks-paul

No cash involved.Just wanted to get my thoughts written done.Thanks for reading.
