If money were no object what would your dream 5 be?

For me it's he 116718 GMT SARU. the 218238 Day Date 2 black Roman dial. The 16710 Pepsi GMT. 16800 Maxi submariner. And the 6240 Paul Newman Daytona black dial. I would love to hear what everyone's dream 5 would be.

Well, I'm a one watch guy, so I'd probably just go all in on the Oliver Shepard Exp. II. It sold for $33K a decade ago, and would probably go for much, much more now.

Assuming this happens to me today, none of my 5 will be a Rolex product because I already have my favourite Rolex watches, any other on the list does not require 'money is no object' to obtain.

However this is TRF, I'll throw a 116506 platona in there for good measure.

Fun to think about money as no object, but even within that, I don't know if I should say my top 5 worth like 100k or 10M.

Just off the top of my head
ALS Zeitwerk Striking Time
RM 27-02
VC Patrimony Traditionnelle Minute Repeater Tourbillon
PP 5990
AP RO Perpetual Ceramic

but ask me this 10 times, and you'll probably get 10 different answers

Neil Armstrong's Omega he wore on the moon landing
The 100.000 Rolex made , given to Churchill
James Cameron's Sub he gave away
The 150,0000 Rolex made, given to Eisenhower
JFK's Rolex President

How much would that collection cost? Everything has its price!

1. Lange Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon (platinum and black dial)
2. Patek Nautilus 5990
3. Rolex Daytona (platinum)
4. Rolex Day Date (platinum, pave dial, emerald bezel and hour markers)
5. Vacheron Historiques 1968 (RG)

I'd have to keep my two everyday Rolex pieces too, 116610LN and 116520 white dial

5 is to complicated. I'd be happy with a 2000V/120G-B122 as a daily wearer.
