What would be your perfect 3 watches collection?

1. The day watch: the watch that suits your occupation.

2. Dress-down timepiece: worn everywhere from the beach to the ski slopes or for pottering around in the garden.

3. The dress watch : A watch geared for special occasions and big nights out.

Or if you think a collection should have more than three, comment please!

Welcome to the forums!

Day watch: Rolex 36mm Explorer I
Dress-down: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5726a (on a strap)
Dress watch: Patek Philippe Calatrava 5116R or 5119J, need to see them in real life to see the difference between the white enamel dial and the white lacquer dial.

But I quite honestly really need more than 3 watches

Royalex · 6 October 2013, 08:39 PM

Day watch datejust ii
Dress down. Pam 0
Dress watch any gold Rolex watch

bonbonson · 6 October 2013, 08:42 PM

For my occupation. DSSD
All around Patek nautlius blue dial on a bracelet
Dress watch no doubt a rolex 8171.

Although im sure a DSSD can br my one and only

Jason71 · 6 October 2013, 08:43 PM

3 isn't enough. Couldn't do it.

Rolexitis · 6 October 2013, 08:44 PM

For me, the 114060 fits all of the above criteria

How · 6 October 2013, 08:45 PM

Day Watch: My SubC, or Patek Phillip 5270. Both suitable for my occupation.

Dress-Down: My SubC.

Dress: Patek Phillipe 5270

All I need is 2! Two uses for each of them.

Three should be enough, but it isn't.

benlee · 6 October 2013, 09:03 PM

From my current collection

1) Day Watch : Rolex DJ2

2) Dress Down Piece : Explorer II - nobody ever notice it

3) Dress Watch : AP 15400

I also wish to add the following :

4) Casual Weekend Watch : AP Diver

5) Bang Around Watch ( for crowded place, rough environment ) : Omega PO - tough as Nail!

6) Dress to Impress watch : IWC RG Portuguese ( the most bling )

7) Watch to impress fellow WISer : IWC Portuguese Perpetual Calendar

... That's about it

HL65 · 6 October 2013, 09:10 PM

3 let me think....Never mind no can do!

Racerdj · 6 October 2013, 10:18 PM

Welcome! Why stop at three?

gpfps · 6 October 2013, 10:23 PM

To add to my DD and 14060m would be white green subc .

FeelingTheBlues · 6 October 2013, 10:25 PM

The perfect three watches collection is the one that has more than four...

viper9669 · 6 October 2013, 10:35 PM

Welcome to the forum!
Tough call for me with 3...
Day watch - 42mm Exp II
Dress watch - TT sub smurfy
Casual watch - ND Sub C
* Really casual watch - Sinn U1 or G-Shock Mudman

Welcome

2.Sub
3.Daytona

subtona · 6 October 2013, 10:41 PM

Had it for a moment, it was:

SD as daily
Exp II polar as traveler
Patek Aquanaut as 3rd

Each of them could suit any occasion for me.

Now where would the Panerai 127 fit into this mix?

SubTTKky · 6 October 2013, 11:36 PM

Day watch: GMT IIC
Dress down/Travel: Omega Speedy or DSSD (hope to buy a DSSD soon

)
Dress watch: Rolex DD / Daytona

AK797 · 6 October 2013, 11:45 PM

The next 3 watches Im fixing to buy are the GMTc YG, Nautilus 5711 and AP RG Novelty. Those will make my perfect collection... until...

kilyung · 6 October 2013, 11:47 PM

Day watch: 116619
Dress down/travel: 116718
Dress watch: 218206

Qristian · 6 October 2013, 11:52 PM

Maybe something like this?

Daily watch: Exp2 42mm
Traveler: GMT2c
Dress: Milgauss GV

...and my 4th watch for gardening, sports activities and entering dangerous places:

Chainring · 7 October 2013, 12:33 AM

Day Watch: Should be a G-Shock but since I don't like them it would be an Explorer II
Dress down Watch: A Sub, GMT, or my current favorite, Tudor Black Bay
Dress Watch: Patek 5227

I don't know why I don't already have an Explorer II. It really would be the perfect watch for me. I know why I don't have the Patek 5227.

Chainring · 7 October 2013, 12:33 AM

Hmmm. A rare double post.

If I list it here that I only need 3 watches, how in the world can I continue to justify to myself and more importantly my wife, that I need 20+?
