Which of the two collections would you rather have?

Had posted earlier on being lucky enough to have some money for watches (around $50k) to add to my existing collection. Thanks for all the thoughts there. Narrowed it down to a few pieces that could form one of two collections below. Which one would you rather have? They would both cost roughly the same amount to put together

Collection 1

1. 126500ln Black

2. 126500ln White

3. AP 26315ST Panda

4. Lange 1815 Up Down Rose Gold

5. Pepsi (126710 BLRO)

Or

Collection 2

1. 126500ln Black

2. 126500ln White

3. Lange 1815 Up Down Rose Gold

4. Modern 321 Ed White

5. Snoopy 50th anniversary

6. Pepsi (126710 BLRO)

7. Starbucks (126610 LV)

Basically the choice is between the AP or 3 watches approximately equal to the AP in market value (Starbucks, 321 and Snoopy)

Would love thoughts on what collection you prefer, and more importantly, the rationale on why.

May be easier to stipulate the constants between the 2 options and then Option 1 and Option 2 additions.

2 as my second favorite on your list is the SubLV followed by the black SS Daytona.

1 for me.... but I'd swap out the white 126500 for a 321. Or failing that I'd just need to find a way to parachute in a 321 at some point too!

For me, it came down to the AP vs the LV. I really like the LV; however, I would love to have that AP for variety, so that would be my choice.

Which of the two collections would you rather have?

Subjectively speaking, a little too chrono heavy for my personal preferences (to each their own), but in the spirit of your post:

I’d probably go with Group 1 and replace the white dial Daytona with the Ed White, change the AP chrono to a silver dial 15510st, and then add some type of PM on a bracelet.

So basically make a Group 3, lol.


Cheers, brother, have fun making the decision!

Maybe ask your husband? $50000 and you are asking a forum on what to buy? It’s not like, convince me I made the right decision getting the champagne dial over silver.
