if you could buy 5 watches around 5 - 7 K each

[L-16610]

would you buy 5 Rolexes

Or several brands ( 1 or 2 Rolex, 1 or 2 Panerai, 1 JLC, ...)

It must be 5 watches, not a 25K watch

[mike]

GMT IIC
16610LV
1680
1675
Panerai of some sort.

I could go the distance with this battery.

[Sky-Dweller]

I would chose:
GMT II Pepsi
Sea Dweller 16600
Submariner 16610LV
Submariner 14060M
Panerai 382?!

[manuu]

IWC IW3714-01 Portuguese Automatic Chronograph
Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow
rolex explorer II black dial
PAM 310
Glashutte PanoMaticLunar

[landroverking]

Daytona 18Kt Strap 12.5K
GMT TT 4.5k
Sea Dweller 4.5k
only have 3.5k left

Help? Air-king? SS Date?

[Gob Bluth]

Rolex sea dweller
IWC small Portuguese 3531
Rolex GMT Pepsi
JLC Ultrathin moon
Dornbluth centersecond

[NickTruswell]

SS Daytona
SS GMT 2c
Datejust
Explorer 1 39mm
Old Seadweller 16600

at least that's my plan at the moment. have two ticked off just need the rest so better get saving

[Jack's Uncle]

1) GMT Pepsi

2) PAM 244

3) IWC Pilot Chrono

4) Explorer II Polar (unless the rumors and pics are true about the new Explorer II, because I'd wait for that awesome piece).

5) The new Explorer I (sorry people....the "short" hands don't bother me one bit).




But now after writing this list, I'm somewhat depressed I don't have any of these watches.

[DCgator]

Rolex GMT II Coke w/ 3186 movement

Rolex 16610LV

Pam 184 GMT

Pam 240 GMT

Glashutte GMT

[flyinbrian]

Rolex 116710 GMT Master IIC
IWC 3717.04
Panerai 352
Omega PO
Rolex 116660 DSSD

[TempoKing]

If I wanted to have "money in the bank" while I wear these watches -
I'd Buy all Rolex
If I wanted to be horologically correct
then One Rolex, One Patek, One Panerai, One Vacheron, One IWC etc.

I know what you mean and I would thake the second choice

BUT 1 Patek and 1 Vacheron would be difficult for 5 to 7 K

[Chipmunk]

My choice would be:

SS Sub 16610
GMT II Pepsi
EXP II white
YM Platty
TT DJ

[cedargrove]

Excluding the ones I already have:

Rolex Explorer II (Polar)
Rolex GMT II Coke
Rolex 16610 LV
Rolex Air King (blue lume or orange arabics)
either Omega Planet Ocean, or Bell & Ross BR 02

[Clay]

Sea Dweller, Sea Dweller, Sea Dweller, Sea Dweller, Sea Dweller

[skypilot]

I'd keep the 3 Rolexes I have but add a Milgauss and a Seiko Spring Drive.

[ArcticMoose]

1.) Panerai (Not well-educated yet, but have been looking at 111 and 177.)

2.) GMT Pepsi

3.) GMT Root Beer

4.) SD

5.) Sub from 1977

I would really like a JLC too, but anything that interests me is way beyond the stated budget.

[speedo]

rolex subc lv
rolex milgauss white dial
JLC Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea
iwc aquatimer vintage collection

i don't need a fifth. :-)

[Zed Homme]

Right now (assuming I get to keep the watches I already have)

Cartier calibre
116610
116610LV
IWC Aquatimer chrono (blue & orange)
Nomos Zurich Worldtimer

[Esquire]

1) Rolex 116610LV


2) Rolex 1680


3) JLC Reverso Grande Date:


4) JLC Master Compressor Chrono:


5) IWC 3717


This is, of course, on top of what I already have.

And where are people finding SS Daytonas for 5-7k? ;)

[Cru Jones]

changes all the time, but, the current list:

milgauss black dial
subc-lv
pam 111 + jv strap
gmt II with all 3 bezels + super jubilee
omega PO LM

I second that - "all rolex." Vintage for me!

[kareemthedream33]

Datejust navy roman dial
Sea Dweller 4000
GMT2 Ceramic
Explorer 1 white dial
SS daytona on black leather. (would have to be used)

This list was tougher than I thought there are still many Rolexes I would like. At 5-7k rolex can't be beat. I wouldn't start listing other brands until a much higher price point.

[Al1988]

1. 11670 SS GMTc
2. 116610 SS Sub
3. 16610 SubLV
4. YM I
5. 16520 Zenith Daytona White Dial

My dream collection

[secret agent]

Rolex Blue Sub with ceramic bezel
Daytona SS
Graham Oversize Blue GMT
Rolex Deep Sea Deweller
Oris Carlos Coste Chrono LE

[landroverking]

Ok re-read the post.

Daytona TT Zenith
Sea Dweller
GMT Root beer TT
Blue TT Sub
Omega Speedmaster Pro with date wheel

I think with this list I may have money left for an Air-King.
Now I feel better.
