I'm looking to get a new sport or sport/dress watch and I really like the look of the Rolex Daytona (surprise surprise..). I'd prefer a chronograph and a white/silver dial on steel bracelet (I would consider a two-tone with gold if I liked it well enough).
Let's call it a budget anywhere from $6,000-15,000.
I'm not looking for a cheaper alternative to a Rolex Daytona, just something that is
different for crying out loud.
I've looked at the Vacheron Constantin Overseas in person. I liked it, but definitely didn't like it for $20,000.
I also tried on an IWC Ingenieur and while I did like it and it was a hell of a lot more 'affordable' at around $6,500, it was just a bit too edgy and industrial for me I guess. Also, the movement isn't really considered to be in-house because from what I understand it's a reworked Breguet movement. I would prefer an in-house movement, obviously. Especially for this kind of money.
Any suggestions? Oh and these are the brands that are off limits:
Breitling
Tag
Omega (probably)
Baume & Mercier
