Problem - watch box running out of room?

Solution - buy another watch box

From your posts, it seems you have a particular love for your ALS and a true (rare these days) understanding of what makes it great, so I‘d seek to add a Patek annual calendar (5205r or g) with a blue dial and a VC traditionelle small seconds in WG to complete the high horology bracket of the collection.

Bill11783 · 29 August 2021, 04:18 AM

Whatever makes you happy at the end of the day.

Congrats! Thats a stunning looking watch and so versatile

A Speedmaster Snoopy could be a fun fresh final addition to the collection

Wow, beautiful DateJust, so one more to go.

Last one should be something special, may be go all the way to Patek Philippe 5205R or 5205G.

What you need is a bigger watch box. (We're all thinking it; someone had to say it.)

mario1971 · 29 August 2021, 04:47 AM

Thank you for all the congratulations so far and the proposals for the last watch in the box. I already have two ordered, but it is not said / forbidden to rotate them in a box. Closest to me at the moment is Lange 1 (192,032). But I would not despise the PP Aquanaut 5167A as well - here, unfortunately, the prices on the secondary market have gone crazy, and the purchase directly from AD without any history borders on the winter entry to K2.

Lange one is a killer choice, the aquanaut has to be the WG to be as cool as it should. The steel version is too small and dainty for what it represents as a watch.

GMT Aviator · 29 August 2021, 05:09 AM

A moonphase.

samuel019 · 29 August 2021, 05:11 AM

Congrats on the DJ.

Any thoughts on which one is being sacrificed? Cant really offer an any opinion, not saying you need one, without knowing what the other 2 are that you have ordered and when.

But either way congrats on the DJ and your collection. Its well balanced.

Lange 1 Moon phase is gorgeous for sure. For PP 5167A would be very hard to get it from the boutique, I wouldn't pay for secondary market price, it's way overpriced.

I love ALS also, I just bought mine couple days ago, I went for Lange 1 Time zone.

I just found him. Beautiful that your Lange! Mniam mniam.

Agreed, and is the mere “pedestrian” nature of Rolex is still under consideration (as apposed to the Holy Trinity),
Then consider the 50535!!

Unlike virtual any other Rolex....

The two I'm waiting for are the Omega New Snoopy - I've been waiting for almost a year and the Rolex GMT II Pepsi on Oyster.

The green Sub is the weakest in my collection ...

In a perfect world …
1. Daytona
2. Two-Tone Date-Just

Sighters · 29 August 2021, 08:16 PM

A Daytona

RFC · 29 August 2021, 10:26 PM

My vote goes for a Speedmaster FOIS in a leather strap and The Sub (no date of course). If more daring, you could also add a Bvlgari Octo Finnissimo (automatic in stainless steel blue or silver dial or a GMT).

travisb · 29 August 2021, 10:49 PM

Great collection as is.
I'd consider an AP, DD or maybe IWC.

SoylentGreenChi · 29 August 2021, 10:56 PM

Reading these great suggestions, I think the only reasonable answer is to buy two watches to complete this box, and then buy a new box and give us the question of how best to fill out the six empty spaces!

Note: your photo has me actively looking to purchase a Lange this week. Just gorgeous.

This is probably the best photo of my Lange I have ever taken. Here just for you.
Good luck with your search!

flightlevel150 · 29 August 2021, 11:21 PM

Fantastic collection, I love it. The Lange is stunning.
May I suggest to swap the Batman for the Pepsi that you have on order, and the last 2 spots should go to a Chrono (Snoopy would be perfect, otherwise have you looked at the Grey Side of The Moon? Stunning dial), and a nice FP Journe.

All the time I think whether after I pick up Pepsi, my beloved Batman will have to give up just one place in the box. Too bad it won't be for Jubilee - I ordered in April this year and then the list was only on Oyster.

AP and Daytona

MJ EXPLORER · 30 August 2021, 01:23 AM

Mario!!! This might be one of the best collections I've seen on here. Man I really don't know what else to add. This is pretty perfect as is. I absolutely love the very classic Reverso and the Lange. Stunning. Looks like you have all the bases covered.

Amazing photo, I cannot unsee that Lange. The Lange Boutique here in Chicago opens in 30 minutes, I’ll be heading over today to see what they have in stock. Your original post is having an effect on my collection now! Cheers!

All the other advice on thread is solid - Daytona, AP, etc. I’ll give one more shout out for the H. Moser Streamliner with the green dial. Saw it in person two weeks ago and it is simply jaw dropping.

Robf52 · 30 August 2021, 03:06 AM

DD and VC dual time.

mario1971 · 21 November 2021, 05:03 AM

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, this player was added to the collection.

I also chose / ordered the last missing piece - it will also be a Rolex.

mario1971 · 15 July 2022, 05:10 AM

Such a fleece found its way to my collection. We'll see if it will stand the test of time. I am waiting for Daytona WG Oysterflex all the time.

RogerOP · 15 July 2022, 05:18 AM

No more Rolex IMO

Grand Seiko, AP, PP, Omega are all brands to look at.

But if you’re asking people on the internet, then don’t bother. You need to make your own collection. And not one for others.
