Second Watch
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question but, here goes.
I have a 5712 R which I think is stunning, my work involves the danger of marking the watch so I do not wear it when working.
I like a "busy" dial (ala 5712), what watch would you recommend around £2000/£3000 as a workhorse?
It has to be robust with simple complications, the strap material is not hugely important.
I await any answers with interest.
Thanks
Ian

suggestion
you should post it on the Horological meandering forum cause this is not a Patek only question My answer, a Rolex submariner
GP or Omega might be my thought

IWC: Flieger or Ingenieur. [nt]

i'd go with Bruno
it does depend on how "physical" the work conditions are, but i dont think you go far wrong with a Rolex Sub.
Rolex
I agree. Rolex Sub or GMT Master. Great watches that can take a beating without fail!
Thanks
Much appreciated answers. I was not sure whether to go for the Patek 5002 at £250.000 ish but,after your advise will probably go for one of your suggestions. I always find it interesting how other owners think, the submariner was always a possibility...
Rolex, Omega or IWC.
It's difficult to escape the inevitability of Rolex, but Omega and IWC both make watches that should meet your needs while being less readily identifiable.
