Is 4 really greater than 2????

You can only pick one collection, tell me what watches fill it:

4 watch collection totaling $10,000

Or

2 watch collection for $10,000 a watch

RULES:

• Has to be 4 watches. You can’t pick 4 G-Shocks and pocket the rest.

• Has to be 2 watches. You can’t pick 1 $20,000 watch.

• You have a $500 buffer for whatever collection you pick. (I.E. your collection can go up to $10,500 or $20,500)

• Don’t be the guy that says “neither because why would I limit myself to a 2 or 4 watch collection” just play the damn game. 😂

Oh this is fun...

OK so I'm going to go with the $10,000 (I'm assuming USD) collection. There are SO many gems that can be found.

I'm going with secondary markets with these. I've got two potentials in no particular preference.

COLLECTION 1:

GMT Watch - Omega Seamaster 300m GMT '50th Anniversary'

Image

Diver - Omega Seamaster Professional 300m 2254.50 'Peter Blake'

Image

Chrono - Tag Heuer Monza 40th Anniversary

Image

Daily/Beater - G-Shock

Image

COLLECTION 2:

GMT Watch - Tudor Black Bay Pro

Image

Diver - Breitling Super Ocean 42

Image

Chrono - Omega Speedmaster Racing 40mm

Image

Daily/Beater - G-Shock

Image

You can actually do a variation of the two as well..

Monza, BB Pro, SMP 2254 would also be one of my fave 3 with the G Shock rounding out the 4.

Love it

Rolex explorer II and Rolex Op 41 green dial. Two watches I own and two watches I will hold onto forever if I lose all the rest although I do like my Panerai a lot

·

Submariner and Explorer I 40mm (if I could find a fantastic deal I’d try to get a GMT II in place of the Explorer) I know they are all pretty similar but I like what I like haha my watch collection reflects this 🌈 I didn’t price em out but I like the damn game!🤣😁

·

Definitely two watch collection; first being a no date sub. Not sure about the 2nd watch…

·

Four watches: as pictured (they ought to come in under $10,000.00 USD.)

Oh course, I had to leave out several alternate choices, especially these. As you can tell, I’ve got a wicked case of watch collecting madness. (sighs) Not much to be done about it, though.

Of course AFFORDING all these is another matter altogether! 🥺

I'll play. 2 watches of 10,000 USD a watch.

I would get a sporty GADA watch like the Glashütte Original SeaQ 20 bar 39mm

Image

And a classy dress watch like the Glashütte Original Senator Excellence.

Image

I'd be very happy with that two-watch combo indeed.

Rolex explorer II and Rolex Op 41 green dial. Two watches I own and two watches I will hold onto forever if I lose all the rest although I do like my Panerai a lot

Which EII do you have? I’ve got the 16570 polar, and my other Rolex Wishlist is the Green Dial OP 41! Did you get the green dial from an AD? They are such a premium on the grey market

·

Let’s play!

I would go for 4 watches totaling 10,000.

1. Nomos Club sport neomatik polar in 37 mm for $3500

Image

2. Seiko SPB 381 for around $1500

Image

3. Spaceone in brushed titanium (coming soon) for around $2000

Image

4. Exaequo softwatch for around $2000-3000

Image

You get a german daily/casual watch, a japanese diver&gmt, a swiss independent, and a vintage quartz. I think that covers almost everything for around $10,000.

I have the newest 42 mm black dial explorer II. I got my OP 41 green from the AD I was lucky, or I should say I was persistent I hastled them for over a year until I got it ot was the first Rolex I got from an AD

·

If we go by the current exchange rate that $10,000 is £8,000 then these 4 would come in around £8,500 but I might swap the nomos for a chronomaster and that is about £1000 less.

Haven’t posted much in a while, but this thread sung to me as I pride myself as a budget-conscious collector. In fact, I’ve been fortunate enough to obtain all of these pieces for lower if not the listed price (really the G-Shock was the only one I purchased on disco).

4 Watches Totaling $10K

$2740 Cartier Tank Must Solarbeat Large (currently belonging to the Mrs.’s - for this argument, would serve as my dress watch)

Image

$3575 Tudor BB58 Black

Image

$3200 Grand Seiko SBGN003

Image

$550 G-Shock GMWB5000D-1

Image

$10,065 Total
