What's your perfect 3some Rolex if you have 50k, 75k and 100k?

Everyone starts with one Rolex and may buy more and more. When the collection becomes too much, people tends to consolidate into fewer watches. The cycle keeps running if the finance (or wife) supports.

I wants to get your great experience to set the goal, don't want to waste the money and time just go to the final goal directly. If we assume the final money to spend is 50k, 75k or 100k, what's the perfect 3some Rolex combinations in your list?

Pictures will justify even more!

Indeed, YG DD is a must in the collection.

(1) Ceramic steel Daytona (I prefer white dial, personally)
(2) "D-Blue" Deepsea
(3) BLNR "Batman" GMT

I don't think it gets much cooler than those three pieces with modern Rolex pieces and I don't think anything more is necessary to cover all your bases in everyday life and work.

Plus, it keeps it under $35k!

YG Submariner blue dial (got it)

YG Day Date diamond bezel and white dial with Romans (looking for one)

I don't know what the third one will be yet...........I guess once I buy the DD I'll have a better focus.

To answer your question (Rolex only).

50-55k: yellow gold dd40 with black diagonal motif dial
116520 black dial
116500 white dial

75k: yg dd40 and platona


For me, I would prefer a combo of different brands.

25k: TT dj 41 with fluted bezel and jubilee bracelet
AP diver with black dial


40k: Rolex yg dd40 with black diagonal motif dial
AP diver with black dial

50k: Rolex yg dd40 with black diagonal motif dial
AP diver with black dial
Dj41


75k: Same as 40k but add
Patek 5146 white gold, with white/cream dial and brown leather strap

100k: Same as 75k, but I'll add another one. And tbh, I'll try to stop browsing TRF when I get to around 50 or 75k.

Very tough to leave a 1680 Red off that list, but the DRSD would be enough and this way I get 3 entirely different looks.
