Tim Mosso talks about the best watches for under $10,000. As the price of luxury watches rises with no end in sight, Tim reminds watch collectors that most watches still depreciate, and fantastic prices can be found on preowned watches. The Omega Seamaster and Blancpain Fifty Fathoms are two examples of sports watches that can be purchased new or used for under ten grand. This episode is about how to get more luxury watch for less money.

The Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra Worldtimer is a $9,900 value in a world of watches racing past five-figures. With a 43mm stainless steel case, full bracelet, and world time complication, the Aqua Terra Worldtimer offers Seamaster durability with a complication most associated with Patek Philippe. Omega co-axial Master Chronometer caliber 8938 is antimagnetic, shock resistant, automatic winding, and adheres to the METAS chronometer standard. METAS exceeds COSC chronometer testing in both extent and rigor. While the Aqua Terra Worldtimer is available on a strap, the paltry $200 savings is not worth forgoing the durability and long-term savings advantages of the bracelet option.

A Blancpain Fifty Fathoms cannot be purchased new for less than $10,000, but the used Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe grey ceramic can be found with ease in that price range. At 43.6mm, this scratch-resistant dive watch isn't small, but its light weight makes the size far more wearable for watch collectors with average sized wrists. In addition to a unidirectional diving bezel and a 300-meter water resistance rating, the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe reference 5000 includes the lauded caliber 1315. Automatic caliber 1315 offers a superb 5-day power reserve, handsome finish, antimagnetic silicon hairspring, and a robust six-position chronometric adjustment. For shock resistance and overall durability, a free sprung balance is included. For ease of use a sailcloth strap and matching grey pin buckle are fitted.
