If you've got a good 5k-10k to spend on a watch, go for a nice Hublot or Zenith.

Finally someone with decent taste in watches. Buddy of mine has the Hublot Big Bang Black, he just added an AP Alinghi to his collection last month. Dude is sick, he has over 15 of these luxury watches and doesn't even wear them.

To the OP, you're not going to get a "nice watch" for 1k. A good watch will last you a lifetime and you can even give it to your son. If you won the Sunday Million, go spend upwards of 6k which is where the real watches start.

Panerai, Rolex are your best bets. Hublot, Zenith, audemars piguet, breguet are very very nice but probably too much for a 20yr old. For your age demographic, Rolex and Panerai are your best bet IMO because they are leagues above Tags and Breitlings and most of your friends will still recognize those brands.

Rolex - Daytona, Yacht Master, Submariner.
Panerai - whichever one you think looks the best.

For young guys, take pick a chrono.

For 1k, you're going to be looking at alot of garbage designer brands like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc. Stay away.

To the person who suggested Movado. Dude if they sell it in Sears, it ain't a nice watch. LOL
