I was in your situation around 2017. Read about the Submariner, strolled through the history and pictures online then when I tried it on I thought it was perfect. I was on mission to get one after that day.
Unfortunately the waitlist option didn’t pan out (I might even still be on it 😂). So I went grey and bought a 2018 114060 Submariner in excellent condition in 2020. It’s still my favourite watch and one I plan on keeping for a long time.
Good luck with your plan and wait. It will all be worth it, trust me 😀.
I’ve got mine on today funnily enough…
The original question was multiple watches or all your budget on one watch but some interesting comments nonetheless. Thank you. 🙏
If we’re talking 3-4 watches vs 15-20+ watches for the same budget, I would (have) picked the small collection. Of course, quality is subjective too but in terms of cost only I have chosen to spend my budget on a small collection instead of lots.
I could swap them all for the Daytona but I wouldn’t as I like some variety.
