If you could only have 3 watches from the catalog today (including application watches but not limited editions), which do you pick? Assume budget of max $300,000ish.

Very nice!

For me I debate all the time but I think the three that would fit me the best out of the catalog today might be 5712 1/a, 5711 1/a white dial and 5131P (far under the max at only $200k or so!). This assumes I keep everything I own today which includes 5070P, 3700/1, etc which I can’t see myself parting with and compliments the first three I mentioned.

Other favorites of the catalog for me personally are 5164 1/a (just plain practical) 5524G (too big probably with the pushers and unlike the 5522 - never spent enough time with 5524), 5370P, 5204P and 5078G (even without cathedral gongs!).

Mine is very similar, same first two and last would be 5370 or 5270 WG or RG.
