Daytona WG on Oysterflex 116519LN, the rest of the money I would spend on a trip with the family to Paris.

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

Figured it would be a fun exercise.

Enjoy your weekends!

Wow - this was more difficult than I thought.


Ok here are 2 thoughts.

One complete my Rolex Land Sea Air.

I have these 2


And would complete with this.




These are Chono 24 prices So I’m sure I could get the 3 for under $50K

Next option. Start from scratch.

2 Rolex



2 Speedy’s

If it’s in GBP, a yellow gold day date 32-33k give or take & a Black sub / Batman if I could squeeze it into the price range.

Beyond the choice of reference, the question for me is always: An “ultimate” piece and why a “backup” piece, but hardly more!
I have to get there!
But it's so difficult with Rolex... and why not also a Duometer from Jeager?

At current grey prices, you could almost get this collection for $50k.

eg SS Daytona for sale here on TRF for $25k
BLRO around $17k


Or maybe a one watch collection of a Patek Aquanaut 5167

If all at retail, and all available:
Sub date
GMT BLRO
DJ41, jubilee fluted bezel. dial color according to preference! (Motif green for me)
The 4th Depends on your status with AD:
VIP: Ss white dial daytona
Not VIP: polar explorer 2

I might do the same, but a platinum day-date in a 36mm.

Every time I see that white speedmaster racing, I decide I want one immediately. Then change my mind when I start shopping and see the size of it!

At MSRP:

LVC Sub (Hulk)
BLRO Jubilee (Pepsi)
Daytona White Dial (Panda)

That’s the perfect trio IMO. If I’m being selfish and bending the rules to make it 4 watches, I would add a DD to round off the collection

Panda Daytona $14,550
Pepsi $10,700
Sub LV $10,600
Skydweller blue $15,450

$51,300 would be the best 4 watch collection IMO. If you can get them all at retail.
