I'm going in a different direction. For reasons unexplained these have caught my eye, especially the Type 5. It's over the budget amount in CDN $ but if we're playing with US$ it fits.

For one $40K timepiece I'd try find someone to discount a Patek Philippe 5726.

Ressance are so cool, I don't know much about them as far as movements or anything but the dial layout and idea is brilliant. The most legible watch underwater, right?

Wow, when I first saw the image, I thought it was a digital watch (i.e. Apple, Samsung or some other vendor. partly because of the bright colors and partly by lack of crown). My first thought was "who would pay $40k for a digital watch. It was not until a couple of postings later when I realized it was a mechanical watch. Visited their web site. Pretty cool technology.

I'd go with either a WG GMT or WG Submariner and pocket the change. That's about as fancy as my kind can think. Not really into Pateks or dress watches. I like AP's but not necessarily gold ones. Sport watches is where it's at for me

Wow! I wasn't sure what to expect with no photo and just that link. But that watch really is my cup of tea. Just very simple style, not a lot of complications and beautiful colours on dial, case and strap. And the manually wound mechanical movement. It would be a difficult decision though. The Rolex Day-Date LE Everose Gold is definitely near the top of my list. It would be wonderful to have an all-gold watch. Also this Moser & Cie LE, their "version" of the Apple watch has always appealed tremendously: I think it might end up being this one, though. The Grand Seiko SBGD001 9R01 Spring Drive, with power reserve dial displayed on caseback. Platinum and no date. Snowflake type dial, but probably even more awesome. "This is the very first Grand Seiko watch to have been created by the celebrated Micro Artist Studio in Seiko’s facility in Shiojiri in the Nagano prefecture of central Japan." Even though it is 43mm, large for me, I can see myself making an exception. So very few people would have the slightest clue about the watch, which makes it more appealing. The simplicity of the dial, case/lug design with no date is simply amazing to me. Here is a bit more info on the Timeless website: www.timelessluxwatches.com/brands/grand-seiko/grand-seiko-spring-drive/grand-seiko-sbgd001Better pic:

An all gold watch would certainly be nice, preferably Rose Gold IMO

This one, but it's attached to something.
