Hi guys, this is an old game, but my favorite nevertheless.

If you could only own three watches with a total budget of RM500,000, what would it be?
Mine will be
Sport - AP15300
Dress - VC patrimony traditionnelle small second
Others - lange 1

And while I am dreaming, I also have an interim wish list for three watches under RM50,000
Sport - tudor heritage chrono blue
Dress - nomos Orion
Others - rolex gmt master ii

What's yours?

No need to control just give the Mont Blanc to me

Yoda is mean.

I on the other hand would offer you Rm2k for the MB NR. Good price for a "pen" brand.

dpkong · « **Reply #13 on:** April 18, 2014, 07:25:39 PM »

Ok.. back to topic

Sport : ROO (Daytona as spare)
Dress : Calatrava (Patrimony as spare)
Others (as in beater?) : Explorer 2 (too reliable, no need spare)

roystock · « **Reply #14 on:** April 18, 2014, 08:37:30 PM »

Total tally so far.

Rolex is still the most popular brands among fellow members, WIS and man on street, leading by 11x mentioned.
Rolex - 11x (partly thanks to bro contender who voted rolex 3x)
AP - 4x
VC, ALS, Patek, PAM - 2x
Grand Seiko, IWC, Urwerk, Harry Winston, G-shock, Omega - 1x each.
Notable missing is JLC, everyone favourite (including myself) but no one pick them as top three.

Keep the post coming

Half a million for 3 watches ah... hmmm... without thinking too hard (after all, it's paid for):

1) Sports : Daytona Paul Newman
2) Dress : PP Nautilus 5711G
3) Special : Richard Lange Tourbillon “Pour le Mérite” Handwerkskunst (if money not enough, will wait for new thread with $1m budget)

As for the MB, I offer to give you some space in my safe. Absence makes the heart grow fonder... when you miss it too much, I'll return it to you. But if you don't, you won't even notice it's missing...

sidestreaker · « **Reply #21 on:** April 21, 2014, 12:59:25 AM »

Within 500k? Let's see...

German's finest deck/observer watches:
1. Richard Lange (...blue hands boutique edition)
2. Glashutte Original, Senator Chronometer (white gold)

3. And the rest of the budget will probably goes to something from Minerva Villaret. Haven't decided on this yet cause every year is different, and very limited...

...not taking consideration of the Sport, Dress or Special category...

Hahaha... If I had 500k spare, of course an AP ROO would be my tool watch!

r3kahsttub · « **Reply #24 on:** April 21, 2014, 08:52:42 PM »

Wouldn't need to exhaust the budget, I'd go simple:

1. Rolex Sub
2. AP 15300
3. PP Nautilus 5711
