![[Question] : Which watch to buy with a £7500 gift card?](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/5bb3a131-d1e9-4801-9483-2e959fa15afe.webp){kind=link}
I recently lost my Cartier Santos. My insurance has paid out a £7500 gift card. What watch should I use to buy with it?
I own an Milgauss, Omega speed master racing and a Rolex Cellini dual time. I’ve never been a big fan of dive watches as I’m a dreadful swimmer. I don’t want to buy another santos (maybe a dumont?).
Maybe something on rubber?
Consider:
- A Panerai on rubber
- A high end MR-G G-Shock (they start at $3k and are incredible quality)
Owning both of the above, my vote would be MR-G. The new MR-G models are crazy good.
The MR-G would leave 60% of the voucher. I can never own a Panerai for two reasons; 1, the movement, 2, the only person I know who loves them is someone I can’t stand
There are $8k MR-G’s. You also don’t have to spend all the $.

Grand Seiko. That is, if you care more about impressing yourself than others !
Milgauss. Imho it’s the best Rolex watch.
I think you misunderstood the question! This is already my collection. I lost the Cartier and got a voucher to replace it.
The Milgauss for sure… it is missing in my collection
Zenith Original Chronomaster 38mm
Personally, I’d go for either the Zenith sport chronograph someone else linked, a Glashutte Original Sixties with the amazing green dial (if one is available, I don’t know the stock of WFS… and it’s not from Switzerland), or - and this is my personal taste - save up for a bit and get on the AD’s list for a blue-dial Yachtmaster. I know you said you don’t dig divers, but that platinum bezel on the blue dial is just chef’s kiss stunning in person.
I swear to God - if i see one more Cartier Tank - i would set the nearest silver-colored Audi on fire!
GO Seventies Chronograph Panodate
Hublot or iwc
Why these two? I’ve avoided both due to the movement.
7500 gift card lol
Yep!
The Green Santos.
