Perfect 3 watches collection

[Yudi]

option 1 All Rolex : Sub, GMT, Daytona
option 2 Rolex, AP, PP

[yannis]

I will give a cheaper option than others:
Rolex Rolex Panerai
Rolex Rolex Tudor

[jsg1976]

I travel a decent amount, so I picked 3 watches that fit the criteria below that are all GMT watches:

1) JLC Master Hometime
2) Omega Planet Ocean GMT
3) JLC Ultra Thin Reverso Duo

2. Dress-down timepiece: worn everywhere from the beach to the ski slopes or for pottering around in the garden.

3. The dress watch : A watch geared for special occasions and big nights out.

Or if you think a collection should have more than three, comment please!

Love your choice buddy, you have great taste!

Hi eamonn345, the 166710BLNR would be a day watch. And another the casual/dress-down time piece, and another would be a dress watch. There's no need for more than three.

I absolutely love this photo!

a few years ago, but I based it on popular references.

And now I have a collection based on what I really wear every day and miss on my wrist if I don't wear them. Go figure...

Exactly

[Rebel]

My collection is nothing to brag on or show. In fact, two are not collectible. But, here goes:

Day: Tudor Submariner w/black face-bezel on bracelet (NATO/nylon at times)
Dress down: Casio Illuminator
Dress: an inexpensive stainless steel 3 hand dress watch on a leather strap

Great thread.....I am enjoying it.

Love your "red" trio, and wish they still used that date font on the Nautilus.

If I had to go 3, I would go:
1) Daytona C white (have)
2) Sub no date on everest strap (likely to get)
3) OP 39mm Rodium (probably not get as it would take wrist time from 1 and 2)

All I would wear casual or with suit, but all have different bezel types and dial colors.

I waffle between sub and GMT bc I travel a lot and would like the GMT function but find the bezel much too busy for me.

[sgmgolf]

IF forced to pair down to 3 I would choose:
16600 - daily watch
16710 - travel watch
16520 - dress/special occasion watch

I would be very happy with those 3!

Cheers

As many have said, three would be a big struggle for me, but these three are (will be really as I've only just acquired the BLRO) my "inner circle" which form my daily rotation.

16623 has now moved on unsure of what number 3 will now be. Leaning towards an LV. If money where no object (which it always is) a White gold GMT or a Smurf would be nice. I am going to say that is pretty unlikely but who knows ... never say never :-)

And 1 of these 2 which I plan to add sometime in 2017 (photos are borrowed from the webz):

Day Watch: AP 15300 (2nd place: Daytona 116520)

Dress Down: Sea-Dweller (2nd place: Speedy Pro)

Dress Up: JLC Master Calendar (2nd place: Lange 1815 RG)

I'd also add a category of vintage, which I think stands on its own and apart from the OP's three buckets.

[JSolano305]

I've narrowed it down to this:

1. Everyday watch which I own already and it's my first Rolex is a 114060. I added an Everest rubber watch band using the Rolex clasp. With Rolex SS band or Everest band feel I have 2 watches in 1. It's a great everyday work watch.

2. Next week I'm adding BLNR. Plan to wear couple of days per week for work and what not.

3. Will added a DJ 2/fluted/silver stick dial for dressing up and more formal occasion. When I looked at Rolex these 3 watches called my name.

I'm more of a sporty watch type of guy. I go to many sporting events here in Miami. Dolphins game. Heat games. Many nice daily weekend outings. BLNR and 114060 great for that. Eventually a DJ2 will seal the deal with formal, weddings, nice dinner outings at nice restaurants. I'm a bar hopping guy BTW. Regardless I'll try my next best to wear all 3 evenly but I know 114060 and BLNR will get the most use.
