Let's play a game: what would you buy for nautilus money?
After seeing the steel Nautilus trading for around 160-170k euros on chrono24 I decided to play a game: building a varied collection of grail level pre owned pieces for the same amount of money. Here's what I came up with: 1) Lange 1 in platinum, it's my ...
And without hesitation...
This one: Or this series: Or this series: Or this duo: Or these two: Which are much more my interest and taste... ...
I would likely invest the money, however if I am forced to spend it on watches...
it would be ones that I would of course want to wear and not ever part with.
😆 I just have so many I want on my list that I can get all at a fraction of the 160-170 Euros! I am but a simple man with modest taste.
Just seems a waste to purchase a meal for 10 people, when all I need is a meal for 2.
Or buy one extra and sell later for 200k and more
I love your list and yes they are a lot more “horlogerie@ than 1 5711/1A But I don’t think we’re at the top. Like it or hate it but it’s the most legendary watch on the market, or at least that’s what a lot of new collectors think If people pay 200-300-40...
I'm one of the few on this forum...
...that doesn't 'get' the Nautilus. It's an OK watch at retail, but I prefer the Aquanaut in any case. I think it's all hype driven by speculators. If someone offered to buy one for me, I would politely suggest other options...
Nautilus money
This would be great, RD excalibur tourbillon skeletonized in blue. 42 so not a building on my wrist.
Great list, that Blancpain is superb!
I would also go for a grand complication like a perpetual calendar
Check of the grails
Lange 1815 chronograph - 45k~ Vacheron Overseas 3rd gen - 25k~ Rolex 5513 gilt - 25k~ I would hope I could get MB&F LM (whichever) for the remaining 50k
this is a very good question, and certainly not a theoretical one for me, as I've recently sold my 5711
Honestly, with prices as they are, I'm not buying anything with it. Very happy with my existing RO as a "Genta-esque" SS sports watch. Considerations have been a nice dress chronograph - a Gen 1 Lange 1815 chrono, a 5170G with Breguet numerals, a VC CdV i...
