1) DJ41 for $9650.



2-5) equally divided between cheap watches to make up the count to five.

For most average joes, $10,000 is about $9,600 too much . We're an odd breed, aren't we?

The core watches of my collection actually fit pretty well into this hypothetical. Using actual prices paid on the 2nd hand market rounded to the nearest $50:

Everyday/Beater: Seiko SKX009 -$250
Dress: Vintage Omega Seamaster from 1948 - $750
Complicated: Omega Speedmaster 145.022 -$3250
Flex: Tudor Pelagos Blue - $3250
Flex: Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra 38.5mm - $2850

Total = $10,300. So a bit over budget, but close!

Only five watches?

Only $10,000?

I'm not a wealthy man, but I cannot abide such restrictions.

Everyday/Beater Watch: Tudor Pelagos (Blue Dial) - £3,440

Dress Watch: Nomos Tangente 101: £1,460

Complication: Mr Jones Watch, The Last Laugh - £295

Flex: Nomos Club Amsterdam - £1,300

Flex: Scurfa Diver 1 - £220

Total: £6,715

Lots of cash left - so would add a 6th watch, probably a Tudor BB58 or a decent Sinn.

Like a lot of you said, I'll take a Rolex (maybe a DJ) and get a G-shock as a daily. I tried wearing other brands/cheaper watches and I couldn't wait to get them off at the end of the day. Only exceptions were the G-shock and my speedy but it doesn't give me the same feel as a Rolex.

Impossible for me to stick to this.

Explorer is a must + GS or BB58 or aqua terra or zenith. Already over.

I can live with a ton of inexpensive watches but love my Sub and Explorer too much

If I musttttt

Everyday: BB58ln 4K
Dress: SARB033 800
Complication: snowflake or similar GS with PR 4K
Flex: Smiths Everest : 400
Flex: seiko alpinist 800ish

Prices based on MSRP and without tax...

Everyday/Beater Watch: Tudor BB58 on strap (3375)
Dress Watch: Rolex OP36 (5600)
Complication: Apple watch (499)
Flex: G-Shock "Casioak" (99)
Flex: Seiko SARB033 (399)

Total: 9,972

Quite honestly I think an OP and BB58 could easily make a great 2 watch collection at below 10k. The other watches are niceties for swapping things up.

Love this thread...

By the way I was able to grab a Casio GA2100 Casioak in all black at Macys. It was 99 bucks and was able to use a mailer coupon for 20% off. It wasn't on the website but they often have a couple in stock in store.

Check your local Macys!
