If you could only have 3 (of each). what will your absolute choice be?

[lefty]

Seeing how it's a damm slow day in the office, i just thought it'll be fun to engage everyone here on what your choices will be given the following scenarios and limitations.

1) Your choice of 3 modern Rolexes based on a total budget of $30,000

2) Your choice of 3 vintage Rolexes based on a total budget of $30,000

3) Your choice of 3 Panerais based on a total budget of $30,000

4) Your choice of 3 APs based on a total budget of $60,000

- Prices for watches can be new or preowned based on approximate market rate.

- You do not necessarily need to exhaust the budget given for each brand but you cannot exceed it.

- You must stick to maximum of 3 watches per category

Everyone is entitled to daydream (while some are actually living it). So for dreamers and actual realist alike, please fire away your favourite combinations!

Anything to perk up a dull Monday!

I have ill knowledge about watches so can only limit my sharing to the following:

$30,000 for three modern ROLEX watches

- the Submariner (16610/14060M);
- the GMT Master-II (16710); and
- the Daytona (116520).

$30,000 for three Panerai watches

- the PAM00233;
- the PAM00005; and
- the PAM00190.

my choice of a AP is either a T3 or End of Days, the last i saw the price for sale for either models is beyond the budget indicated.

30K for AP cannot get even 3 base rubberclad.

If 30K for 1 AP, I will get the Bee.

2) Your choice of 3 vintage Rolexes based on a total budget of $30,000 - This one is fun so here goes; (1) Explorer I 1016 - $6500, (2) Submariner 5512 - $9000 (3) Day Date 18038 - $11000. Total is $26500. Remaining $3500 I will use to service all three watches

Bro, for AP, the budget is $60k. So if you have $60k, you'll still have $30k leftover after the bumblebee. Probably the Rubberclad + a Diver perhaps?

[lefty]

Interesting choices so far!

Only fair if i share mine:

Modern Rolex - Hulk / Daytona Black / GMT2C

Vintage - Red 1680 / 5513 matt / 1665 White (Budget definitely cant fit the double red)

Panerai - 233 / 26K / 24

AP - Bumble Bee / Rubberclad Black / Scuba

I would go for variety.

Bee + Diver + 15300

But lefty,

30k not enough for red sub, 1665 white and 5513!

Thats actually a great combo of PAMs given the budget and limitations. From the basic to the 8days in 2 different casings. As for Rolex, I see you're not a fan of the new ceramic variants.... hahah!

Sigh. looks like it'll have to be the white 1680, 5513 matt and white 1665 then.

Only keen in modern Rolexes, so it will be 116610LV + 116710LN + 216570 for me... as shown in my signature
