Hey Blue, that's a tough question. It really depends on your budget.
I would say, for a "professional" "meeting" type watch, you are probably looking at a starting price point of about $5K.
That can get you into a nice Rolex, Panerai, etc.

Now you can also get into a nice Omega for about $3k - $4K but I find Omega's to be more sport oriented and less of a "meeting watch".

However, should you decide to go with a real, real nice "meeting watch" your probably going to have to double the budget to about $10K. That's where you get into the Audemars Piguet, IWC, VC, Patek category.

If your seriously interested, tell me what you would consider spending and I will make some recommendations. Most watches, if you are in the know, can be bought for 30%-35% south of MSRP.

You can also visit this site for a nice overview of HOT watches.

The prices are not accurate and the reviews are not objective, but it's entertaining.
