Would you rather have one $10,000 watch, or ten $1000 watches?

I'm reaching a full quota on my collection, so 10 more wouldn't work for me. One more expensive watch would be fine.

I have all the watches I need quantity wise. 2024 and beyond will be to upgrade and tweak the collection quality.

I would rather have one $10k watch

BUT

I would rather have 10 $5k watches then one $50k watch.

Neither will make you Happy.

Yes everyone knows that happiness only comes from listening to the Grateful Dead and dancing with your children.

Is 10 $100,000 an option?

You can have four Cartier crashes and one hublot ferarri, but that’s it for life.

I’m a quality over quantity guy usually, so put me in the one watch category. I really only wear three of my 12 watches with any regularity anyway.

@Ichibunz said it best. As soon as you get the 10K exit watch, most of us are looking for that next acquisition.

Been on the bus since ‘67.

Since it’s all hypothetical, I’ll take the one watch $10,000. I wouldn’t even need the whole 10K if I could get it retail, but it would be a Rolex Date Just, probably a silver or creme dial since I can only have one watch.

3x3k watches would be perfect

For 10k I’d rather have 3-4 watches that are 2-3k.

C: 10,000 $1 watches

Depends on the watch(es)

The one watch I would want is over $10k, unfortunately.

Changed my mind 3 x reading the comments and another 2 x writing this. I don't know! 🤯

Good job I don't have £10,000 I suppose.

I would go Datejust route too - but blue dial in 36mm. It could do about everything well and be an iconic one watch situation.

Yeah, the blue dial is what I really want but since I can only have one I’d get a more neutral color

There are no watches I want that cost 10k but in reality I would go with 3-4 watches between 2-4k

One 10k watch. I have morphed my collection to refine it lately to just a hand full of higher end watches. The detailing, history, movements, feel, finishing, everything is notable at the 10k mark or really I’d say like 6-7k (4-5k used )mark over things under it. You only have so much time in life I’d rather spend it appreciating the highest quality of watches that I can. I always choose my higher end stuff over my lower end so mind as well jsut sell it off like I did.

I can think of 10 sub $700 watches that would satisfy me for the next few years.

Like my Polish speaking Aunt used to say... "Like Pierogi, there is never just one."

The $1,000 price point just ain’t what it used to be. If the question was one $10k vs four $2.5k watches, I would take the four

I went strong out the gate and bought a Rolex bluesy sub thinking it would scratch the itch. Little did I know it only put fire on watch obsession. I find myself wearing my cheaper Seikos and Hamilton more often. I wish I started out cheaper to figure out what I truely liked.
