***r perfect three - Under $100k
So - have really been thinking about if I had a watch collection of 3, with a max budget of 100k (about), what would I choose:
I think the following 3 would make me happy and cover most situations (might have a rolex sub, or something as a "beater" watch but let's assume *** have a 4th beater watch and focus on the 3 *** would choose ** cover most of ***r situations). - Patek 5164a - Patek 5712/1a - A. Lange 1812 Chrono What are ***rs?

5711, 5164 and a choice of 5235, 5205 or 5131.
I assume a nice discount from the AD ** stay under $100K. ![]()

But to play along I would be very happy with these: 1. 5167a 2. 5711/1A-010 3. 5205r-001 And for the 4th..... ROLEX GMT2c BLNR. THANKS THAT WAS FUN...FOR SURE WILL DO ANOTHER. ![]()

I like the OP's selection. I own the two Pateks pictured (5164 and 5712) and a Lange Timezone 1. I do like the ALS 1812 chrono and have had that one on a list of possibilities for some time. I just wish it had a date.

I decided on the 5960P, 5164, and the Submariner. No complaints or regrets thus far!

The Zeitwerk is my all time favorite watch but for a solid three I think id still go with my first three. The LV is definitely for budget given the piece of the other two lol.

How about...
...just two Pateks under $100K? I'd go 5960/1A and 5164A...then a blue dial Milgauss or 116710BLNR as a "beater!"
