Out of the selection presented, I would go for the Zenith Chrononaster Original. If I stretch the budget, it would be the Breguet Type XXI 3817ST (steel version) that currently retails for US$17,800 but can be had for 30%-40% less from the secondary market. Flyback chronograph with a central chronograph minutes hand - now, that's rare. Plus, it has links to the French government's spec from 1950s known as the iconic Type 20 of which Breguet was one of the major producers.

If I see one more Daytona, I'm going to gouge my eyes out. For what a Daytona and a Submariner costs, you could get A. Lange 1815. Best chronograph on the planet. The Tudor has perfect dial symmetry. Zenith has a lineup second to none. They're copying the Daytona. 3 subdials, 2 pushers, a crown and a black bezel. No similarities that a 1,000 other brands posess. Great choices.

Is Breitling Premier B01 the most overlooked model? It shares the same movement as Tudor, and while the retail is more expensive, you can actually find one cheaper than what Tudor is going for now. Breitling is 1mm thinner, has better finishing and heritage. I'm not sure why Tudor gets all the fuss and Premier doesn't get a mention.

Personal opinion of course, but my two are the Speedmaster the Navitimer. I love flight watches, and these are legends. There is something about them and drives me wild. I love the Zenith as well, but I wore the 38 mm and was a bit underwhelmed, and the price keeps me away from the Sport. I also have questions about the long-term aspect of the 3600 movement. Also, it's funny. The Daytona was a grail for me for so long. No longer. I just lost interest and the design doesn't really speak to me these days. I think the Zenith looks better honestly. Less dial text. More interesting subdials.

Among all the watches I have ever seen coming from a guy that doesn't have a shit ton of money, the Omega Speedmaster in moonshine gold with a leather strap is such incredible value for money right now, especially compared to what you get for the same price in Rolex. I know the stainless steel is there, but I only live once - do I want an ordinary steel moonwatch. To experience and own such an exquisite masterpiece, I might actually save up and buy this in a year or so to celebrate and just get the gold piece, what a dream watch. In my opinion the new gold Speedmasters are the most gorgeous watches I have ever seen, especially for my 6.5" wrist. If I want a watch that will probably slip under the radar and wear every day I would take the Omega over any Rolex, if I was spending ~25K$ I see absolutely nothing that even comes close to me.
