Before putting a bunch of my watches into the bank for a while (tend to keep a four watch rotation in action these days) I thought I’d have a bit of fun.

I’ve separated my collection into logical groups of three. If you could only have three watches, and it had to be one of these groups, which would it be?

The Genta Beasts
The Classic Oaks
The Rolex Sports
The Oddballs

Genuinely interested in what people would pick, as I’m very conflicted!

For me it’d be between the Genta Beasts and the Rolex Sports. As much as I love those Genta watches, I feel that there’s more variety with the 3 Rolex’s so would lean towards those 3.

Great “problem” to have and love your overall collection on show here. Certainly would be excited to make the change over at the bank after wearing the 3 Rolex’s for a period of time!

#3, Rolex.

Ps.
But my choice would be PP 5990 + 2 Rolex (Daytona, GMT).

DCheeta · 8 August 2020, 06:29 PM

Have some fun, go with the oddballs.

Pongster · 8 August 2020, 08:58 PM

Why is the Tag and Speedy on a winder?

My answer to question: Genta beasts.

themast · 8 August 2020, 08:58 PM

This is a tough one but oddly enough the Rolex row seems to be the more diverse one and therefore it gets my vote!

AK797 · 8 August 2020, 09:18 PM

I find the beasts the most diverse so I'd take that, but ideally one each of the PP, AP - the Diver, and Rolex - the BLRO.

Hank · 8 August 2020, 09:26 PM

Very nice collection. I would go PP 5990, AP ROO Ti, Daytona.

Nice watches. Go Rolex.

Jay (Eire) · 8 August 2020, 11:15 PM

Rolex, it seems to give you far more variety. And versatility.

ap1 · 8 August 2020, 11:30 PM

Obvi I’d want one from the top 3 groups

Patek
15450 b
519

Seiko beater

KBM · 9 August 2020, 02:16 AM

5990, blue RO and pepsi gmt for me.

GB-man · 9 August 2020, 02:45 AM

Gimme the Rolex

mickyd329 · 9 August 2020, 04:29 AM

PP, AP 15400 blue, and AP ROO chrono.

uscmatt99 · 9 August 2020, 04:53 AM

Everybody is breaking the rules! If I had to choose one row I'd do the Genta Beasts. But only because it's still summer. In the cooler months I'd go with the Classic Oaks

Drdubzz · 9 August 2020, 06:46 AM

Either the Rolex or the Oaks for me. tough choice

Wahlberg · 9 August 2020, 07:46 AM

What's the model number of the middle AP RO with the black dial?

Stunning collection.

Nikrnic · 9 August 2020, 08:11 AM

I'll pick row two. I've never owned an AP but those are the three that always grab my attention most. Love the clean dials and you've got the best colors covered. Nice Collection!!...

Classic Oaks for me.

yoast · 9 August 2020, 12:19 PM

5990, 15300, pepsi is all I would need.

Bobby T · 9 August 2020, 01:09 PM

PP, Daytona, Reverso, AP Gray

My answer to question: Genta beasts.

Speedy is the Speedy Reduced so is an automatic. But nonetheless, it doesn’t live in the winder, as with the TAG, just in there for the photo.

ped013 · 10 August 2020, 07:30 PM

Trying to ignore the inherent differences in value and just stick to what I'd want to see on my wrist, it would be Rolex. Call me crazy, but I'm honestly not a big fan of the Genta aesthetics. They're starting to grow on me a bit over the last year, but I'm not there yet.

Now if you replaced the Speedy Reduced with a Speedy Pro, and the TAG with a Cartier Santos, it would be a tougher call.

Amochosto · 11 August 2020, 06:21 AM

It’s between the Oaks and the Rollies. If pressed I vote Oaks. I’d probably vote Genta if the Nautillus was replaced by any other watch, but I don’t like Nautillus watches

dutch86 · 11 August 2020, 06:54 AM

Genta row for me.

kunlun · 11 August 2020, 07:47 AM

The odd balls are actually the most varied and well-rounded group. You've got dressy, sporty and quirky.

rolexfanforlife · 11 August 2020, 07:58 AM

Genta for me! (And if we could have mixed, I vote Patek, silver royal oak, and white gold Daytona oysterflex).

dnpina · 11 August 2020, 11:30 AM

Nice collection sir. I'd like to spend a month with the Genta beasts.
