At grey prices: my 126660 JC DSSD, a 126710BLNR on jubilee, and a smooth bezel DJ 41 on jubilee.

At MSRP: a 126610LV (Starbucks), a 126710BLNR on jubilee, my 126660 JC DSSD, and a white dial Sky Dweller

At MSRP I'd stretch a little more and the below 3 would be perfect.

SS 126710BLRO
SS 126610LN
YG 228238 DD40 (any dial).

50k for Rolex collection

For me it would be-
Pepsi 22k
Cermit 20k
Maybe a used explorer 1

Figured it would be a fun exercise.

Enjoy your weekends!

These three is exactly what I did. Perfect trio for the budget IMO.

Great collection!! I’m a bigger fan of the BLNR personally but I definitely wouldn’t throw this trio out of bed for eating crackers…nice job!

if it's a "forever collection" then i'd go for:

* black submariner
* yellow gold day date (40 mm if possible)

to me these are the most iconic models. after that follow Daytonas and GMTs

I’d go with my current duo, BLNR on Jubilee for $20k and black Daytona C for $30k.

Local AD would advise me to buy $50k of jewelry that I don’t want in exchange for him moving me somewhat higher on the Pepsi waitlist - which he claims is 200 years long.

OP, I brought your exact collection on vacation! Except I broke the rules a little by getting them all at retail and Explorer not used.

The pepsi/kermit/explorer is pretty perfect

My alternate suggestion would be Batman/Sub ND which should leave around 15k for a DJ 41 or 36, probably rose gold two tone, maybe a special dial.

At Retail - 40mm Sub, SS Daytona and TT GMT

Excluding any DJ and Sky dweller probably easier to get. Lol

Also, if we can buy at retail I can imagine Rolex will do anniversary and LE pieces to stay in the game.

There is some optimistic market pricing in this thread, even with the recent decreases…

I’d still want to go with a reputable grey/trusted seller, and would get:

126710BLRO ($24K)
124060 Submariner ($15k)
126300 Datejust ($11K)
