On the flip side if you've got some Benjamins you want to throw down on a field watch (about 3,000 to be exact), then consider this Navitimer 8 Automatic Watch from Breitling. The originator of the modern chronograph, Breitling has been in the business of making watches since 1884. The hefty price tag is not just because of its namesake and quality, but also due to the overall value increase of their watches down the line. If kept in perfect condition, it's quite possible that your watch could end up being worth much more than what you paid for down the line if you decide to sell at some point. Whether or not you do, a Breitling investment is a wise one.
