As you can see I have reached a stage where I have one empty slot in this box

I do have other box for sub 3k watches

The question is there is an empty slot as you can see which needs to be filled

I have been lurking around many options but still did not decide yet . Also would be open for your comments and suggestions if any needs to leave the collection / consildation or upgrade.

The options which in mind are:

VC blue dial overseas simple date / could clash with my AP blue RO (. Grey)

Patek 5164 travel time / dont have a sport model but i do have many GMTs (grey)

Patek nautilus 5726 on strap as other nautiluses are out of reach in terms of price and this is an annual calendar . (Grey)

Patek world timer steel salmon dial 5835A (retail)

FPJ chronometer platinum and to have my first mechanical FPJ. ( on wishlist)

Bvalgari Octo skeleton ( new version)

MBF LM101 ( Retail )

Lange world timer ( Retail )

Day date oscar rose gold ( retail )

I know all the above can create a box by itself but my heart is leaning towards a sports patek but i would like to hear from you

Thanks

You like chronos and you dont have a vc. So: CDV

Golden Palomino · 11 June 2024, 06:20 AM

What a great collection! Thanks for sharing.

Personally, from your list I would go for the FPJ, LM101, or DD (I have a soft spot for the DD, YG would be my choice). And being a smaller collection guy, I would consolidate and get all 3. My 2 cents.

Easy E · 11 June 2024, 01:36 PM

Great collection. Have you considered the VC1921?

FrugalGreubel · 11 June 2024, 02:22 PM

What a fantastic collection.

From the list you provided my top three would be the MBF LM101, Vacheron Overseas, Patek World Timer.

My suggestion that isn’t on your list is the 1941 Grönefeld Grönograaf. You seem to like Chronographs and I think that specific model is quite lovely.

Please let us know which one you wind up getting.

Ichiran · 11 June 2024, 02:28 PM

You are missing a complicated and/or artisanal watch in your collection.

SoylentGreenChi · 11 June 2024, 08:43 PM

Aquanaut or Nautilus to fill out the Patek and AP row. 5164 or 5711 (5811) would be my choice. Fabulous collection.

1William · 11 June 2024, 11:16 PM

Great Collection. Platinum Daytona.

Pw92676 · 11 June 2024, 11:37 PM

Great collection. Very hard to choose. 5726 strap is a great option to satisfy your desire.

Agree. How about a perpetual calendar watch?

Audevache · 12 June 2024, 02:02 AM

+1 on a Patek perpetual calendar (or the World Timer). Much more interesting than to see "yet another" Nautilus & Aquanaut. Your collection is already quite on the sporty side with a lot of steel bracelets.

Love the Starwheel by the way!

A Breguet of Vacheron complication

Wait it out untill the right thing comes around - when you know, you know. You already have a stunning collection

subtona · 12 June 2024, 04:15 PM

Perpetual calendar..

Great collection

charger_vital · 12 June 2024, 10:34 PM

I think the JLC skeleton chrono reverso would make a great addition to that lineup. The Bulgari you mentioned is nice too... But I think I'd go up market with the JLC.

Of the options you presented, however, MB&F

salnuaimi · 6 July 2024, 06:23 PM

Recently was able to secure a santos dumont black lacquered which replaced my tank
Im leaning toward letting go the 321 too and keeping the snoopy .
This will create a space of two watches .

Having seen all the comments I do feel the need for a slightly complicated watch but yet left undecided .

salnuaimi · 6 July 2024, 06:23 PM

Again thank you all for the lovely comments

ChetBaker · 6 July 2024, 06:47 PM

Moser Perpetual 1 in Platinum or Palladium. That ticks a lot of boxes without breaking the bank.

llngoc · 6 July 2024, 11:12 PM

How about consolidate a couple of pieces into the MB&F perpetual? One of the most iconic MB&F and a breakthrough perpetual movement, you can have either sports EVO or Classic options.

BTW, which FPJ is on the wishlist? You only mentioned chronometre

ansharma · 7 July 2024, 12:12 AM

Great varied collection! I think some gold would add some more diversity which could be simple or complicated depending on your taste. Here are my 4 gold timepieces which may spark some interest…

Breguet Tradition, as a classic heritage timepiece, plus they're around half price nowadays.

Bazil · 7 July 2024, 07:54 AM

My recommendation - a false hand …

WatchEater666 · 7 July 2024, 08:19 AM

I would get something that crosses the line from "watch" into "art".

The MB&F meets that threshold IMO. It's far more interesting horologically than the other options.
