Been extremely busy with work and life in general. Great to see all the wrist shots whenever I pop in.

Hey guys

TLDR:
Does anyone know how much the IWC 5001 and 5007 go for? And for a budget of SGD 10,000 - 12,000, what watches should I get?

Details:
I'm planning on getting my first "real" watch (going to be upgrading from a Citizen watch) and thought I should get some feedback before pulling the trigger.

I've looked around for a bit and am in love with the IWC Portuguese (tried the Chronograph 3714 today) - found it just the right mix of sporty and dressy - versatile enough for my needs. Also like a few JLCs but for my budget (SGD 10,000 - 12,000), I think only the Reserve de Marche stands out.

What kept me from getting the IW 3714 was the fact the case was sealed- not a deal breaker, but at that price (was quoted slightly over SGD 10,000), I prefer to go with something with a clear caseback like the IW5007 (that I did not manage to try or get a price for).

Question:
- Any recommendations given my budget and taste?
- Any indicative price of the IW 5001 (out of curiosity) and IW 5007? Wonder if they are within my budget.

Other points of note:
- No Zeniths please, I know the movement is good and the price is great value, but they are simply not my taste.
- No Rolexes or Speedmasters too, find them too common.
- I've tried the IWC Pilot Chronograph but unfortunately it looks odd on me.
- I prefer watches with in-house movements.
- I prefer watches with steel casing with leather straps.
- Will likely be getting the watch from an AD, unless there's some compelling reason to go to the boutique.

Thanks!

How about Panerais? JLC?

You can get good pieces for your price range.

Not fond of Panerais. I'm good with JLC (particularly their Master series) but am not sure which are within my price range, any particular ones that I should look into? Something a mix of classic/dressy and sporty.

Correct me if im wrong GG pros out there. Each time they produced only 100pieces and 50pieces for limited editions. Prices varies. I've just got one yesterday.. Limited edition. Brand new from my friend who collects GG.

This is really nice and impressed me enough to ask, how much? Not buying now, just researching, haha
I saw it in their website that there is cash and carry in SG, so it's a local co. ?
It's a homage to which model?
