What would your collection look like if you limit yourself to 5 watches?
Say you're willing to spend (grey or list) up to 50,000 € per watch but not more than 125,000 € for the whole collection. You limit yourself down to five watches and want variety, so you pick one watch from each brand and a maximum of two from each catego...
The thing is that I am top lucky to already have them. Now, if you ask me to sell a big part of my collection to get 5 other watches, that is another story. But I fear that for at least one
Maybe two, I will have to go above 125, 000 Euros.
It's not about having the perfect collection...
...it's more about how your collection would look like if you love watches but simply can't build your perfect collection.
Given there was no budget...
Curious as to what GC you would choose for your dream collection.
GO split second, Patek 5140 in J, Rolex GMT SARU in YG, VC Traditionelle Small Second in P and a Lange DS
I know the SARU is an acquired taste but I like it!
I have 5 now.
I think my current collection fits the bill. AP 15400 Panerai 688 Rolex Daytona 116518 A Lange Sohne Grand Lange 1 Moon Phase 18k rose F.P. Journe Centigraph 18k rose I have sport, dress, work, metal bracelet on the ap, rubber strap on the daytona and pan...
That's a very nice collection, you have a lot of variety there even with just 5 watches.
Discipline is the hardest element of collecting.
i've put exactly this limit for my collection...
i'm slowly working towards that, i'll retain one from what i've today & letting go with few and add (which is the difficulty)... my final 5 would be, 1) JLC Reverso Q3908420 2) Laurent Ferrier Galet Square Blue dial 3) Patek 5711 blue dial (only if i ...
This looks great. Definitely an insane Quintuple!
Wish you all the best to get you there!
Thanks !
1,2,3 are secured but the remaining two are a daunting task ;-) Best, mahesh.,
Very similar to my budget
1. Gronefeld Remontoire 1941 2. Lang & Heyne Friedrich III 3. Patek Philippe 7200R London Edition 4. A Lange & Sohne Little Lange Moonphase 5. Cartier Tank Cintree in Platinum Fortunately for me,watches 2,3 and 5 are in my collection. The Gronefeld Remont...
Not exactly how I assumed...
“maximum of two from each category” Anyway, interesting choices.
5 is not enough.
But these would be the brands: Rolex Indie watch ALS Patek Omega Don’t ask me which model...
Very difficult (impossible 😬) but will try .
Gronefeld 1941 , Linde Werdelin Okto , FPJ CB , Vianney Halter Classic , Angelus U40 . Its a tough one i must say , would love to add the Akrivia RR to or a MB&F or a Urwerk or a Kari V or a .........😱🤯
I'd struggle with sticking with just 5
Hi Think as with most here I'd struggle with just five watches. Especially as sometimes the fun is in the chase & that once I've got a watch it never leaves. Your budget is way more than my current one - so allows some excess on my part. Choices would inc...
I am actually working towards
My 5 watches within my ‘limited’ budget. Your budget would open a whole new perspective for me and i would not be able to respond in a timely manner. A lange 1815 honey gold 200th ann JLC Reverso 1931 us edition Omega speedy 60th ann Likely Rolex sub no d...
It’s six but...
GP 2520, Rolex 1675, Cartier Tortue Monopusher, Patek 5026G, Bulgari Octo Finissimo Ti Auto, Patek 5065J.
One franchise player and a few in supporting roles
Patek 5970G Rolex 5512 or 5513 (bracelet) Omega Speedy pro (strap) JLC Reverso (probably the Duo or Grande Date) I think I could get there at 125K Euro.
5 watches 5 brands max 125K
An interesting challenge I would probably select Vacheron Harmony Complete Calendar Blancpain Bathyscape Chrono Brequet Classique Time only (the one with that white enamel dial) IWC Pilot Mark VIII Le Petit Prince Rolex Explorer To me that’s a well balanc...
Here we go:
This is a tough question, and one I've thought about a lot in recent times. Here's my best shot: Urwerk 105 CT FPJ Chronometre Bleu Rolex Daytona 16520 Patek 5711 Seiko Diver / Swatch Sistem 51 Depending on ones life, and the places one lives or travels t...
The 5
Probably my list will change tomorrow but I am a basic guy so here are mine. VC overseas, Breguet 7147, ALS 1815, Rolex GMT and a PP golden ellipse. Nothing exotic but real timepieces.
It was not easy..
As obviously, i’m one of the last to respond but i play anyway.. PP 5164 Rolex AK 116900 JLC Reverso 1931 Rouge Panerai 201/A UN Freak (1.0) Interesting exercise. Price wasn’t exactly a motivator but more trying to meet the requirements but at the same ti...
Hehe, yes, I was surprised myself when I thought about it..
Made me smile actually. I needed Panerai to be nicely represented for some reason.. and something that I can wear all the time and with a bit of pedigree. Easy enough to go with a 127 for example, but I wanted the logo and the T-dial. Arguably THE 44mm Pa...
Impossible for me
I would just get two and go higher quality watches. 1) Rolex 2) Any good indi or Lange. 3) If you have left over buy a decent vintage, don't go for the current hyped vintages. IMO You spread yourselves too thin with that budget and 5 watches.
