Looking to have a four watch collection out of these five choices (5712/1a, FP Journe Chronometre Bleu, 5167/a, Rolex Daytona (White) and Rolex no-date Submariner (114060).

Which would you choose assuming you could get all at retail with no wait, but they were the only 4 watches in your collection?*

*Need at least one to wear with a suit and tie, and one to wear with a bathing suit.

^As you can see, the 5712/1a is going to be one of the 4 watches no matter what.

RHJ · 11 July 2018, 07:22 AM

Most people will say Hulk, Batman, Daytona C and BLRO... REALLY boring

You know you haven’t given us your 5 choices?

tyler1980 · 11 July 2018, 07:28 AM

4 nautilus?

Any 4 for me it’s SS BLRO, 5990, 5164, and 5524g... and yes I’m aware of the dial time overlap. I like what I like

I might swap the 5524 for a 5980/1R though.

Now that you have added the list... all but the sub

Of your choices, #1, zero contest. That's probably because I have 3 out of 4 of them.

I am at my ideal four, and I am perfectly happy with what I have and have no desire to sell or acquire anything at this point in time. It's a good feeling.

Nice list, and even better that you have them all! I would go 5990, 5711 (blue), ceramic Daytona (white) as definites. 4th would be 5740 in my dreams, but more realistically either the 5164, 5968, 5711 (white) or SS BLRO.

RussW · 11 July 2018, 07:48 AM

Option C. I have no interest in the FPJ.

HL65 · 11 July 2018, 07:49 AM

Option 3 and make the Sub an LV.

I like the way you think. I would pick one with the Journe because I think it would be nice for formal/tuxedo occasions (tux = leather strap).

AK797 · 11 July 2018, 09:00 AM

Option 1, but make the 67 a 64.

Helmi · 11 July 2018, 09:06 AM

12, fpj cb, Daytona for sure. Since no GMT watch, I suggest going with the batman /blro (instead of submariner) or 5164 instead of 5167

Ichiran · 11 July 2018, 09:39 AM

My 4-watch collection would be 5740G, 5270P, 5711/1A and 15305ST. Cheers.

Reloko · 11 July 2018, 09:55 AM

Why not consider A Lange Sohne....

I’ve tried to get down to 4 as well, but haven’t had the guts to.

I would get the first four and forget about the Sub, unless you really plan on diving with it.

That is definitely a potential longer-term possibility, but the 5164 is double the price of the 5167, retail to retail, so that makes the total outlay a little more than I want right now. But with secondary prices continuing to rise on the 5167, a future flip to a 5164 is a definitely possibility if I go the 5167 route.

Chiboy · 11 July 2018, 12:28 PM

Option 1, but make the 5712 a 5170P, the CB a 5522A, the 5167a an ALS Saxonia, and keep the white Daytona.

Did I answer the question?

Fair enough, but the grey spread between the two is closing rapidly in the UK now, 67 is at 50% and the 64 at 25% and rising, so the 64 will be much harder to get in future at retail.

Stratos · 12 July 2018, 01:46 AM

No love for Daytona, so I go with option 4

KWT · 12 July 2018, 02:51 AM

5712/1a + 5167/a + Daytona (White) + Submariner + $17,000 USD

I would substitute the Sub with a Royal Oak

Peterandwatches · 12 July 2018, 02:57 AM

Keep the sub but swap out one of the PP's for an AP. Can always go for a Jumbo instead of 5712 or a ROO instead of the Aquanaut.

GB-man · 12 July 2018, 03:51 AM

5164 - 5711 white - 116500 - rolex diver of choice or AP offshore

lapince · 12 July 2018, 04:43 AM

My perfect 4 would be 5712, 5164R, 5740 and AP ce diver,4 different case materials half on bracelet, half on rubber, have 2 out of 4 with these

benlee · 12 July 2018, 04:56 AM

The 3rd option, but replace 5167a with 5164R. Or 5711-1r and 5164a. A perfect balance of functionality, materials and workhorses.

Lordofrolex · 12 July 2018, 05:03 AM

Id love to see something gold in the options.

nyc2la · 12 July 2018, 07:41 AM

These 4...

And this one since getting to 4 is tough...
