I think the perfect collection would be a YG DayDate, the "Don't call me a Panda" Panda Daytona, and then a SS Sports model of your choice (Hulk, Pepsi, Black Sub Date, Batman, whatever)

Thats an impossible question.

But I think variety is the key here, I could come up with many, but one idea would be a DaytonaC, YG DD40 and Langematik perpetual calendar.

Since I don’t ‘need’ anything resembling a dress watch or special occasion watch...I’m good with GMT, Daytona, Sub. Easy I know...but I like ‘em! And when it comes to the Rolex brand, that’s what they do best....IMO

I feel my current lineup is pretty ideal: White Dial Daytona 116500, 16710 Pepsi (also bought a Jubilee and Coke insert to add into the mix), and a Hulk.

Given that I am super happy with my collection, I should pick three of mine as a starting point...

Patek Nautilus 5990
Audemars Piguet 26480 (currently waiting collection)
Rolex 116519 LN

However, if money no object...

Patek Nautilus 5740
Audemars Piguet 25820
Richard Mille RM67-02

For me:
1) Explorer 39 mm
2) DJ 36 on jubilee
3) 1815 up/down rose gold

This is what I'm working toward. Only have one of the three so far.
