Must be new math. $30K = 2x $15k watches and not three. $30K - 3x $10K watches. I'd prefer 3X $15K watches over 1 x $30K watch.

At grey prices, I'd do a Sub LV and a Batman on jubilee. Add a Speedmaster or Daytona when you can. Land, air, sea!

If AD prices, 3 watches are possible, which would be my pick. In fact, when my Explorer comes in, I will have achieved that, though one is bimetal. Total will be just under $30,000.

I don’t think I would want to daily a PM so I’d go with the second option.

If only PM Daytona for me I’d be fine with that … three SS Models t retail would be Sub/GMT and at a stretch Daytona, I know would probably go over the 30k budget ..

Assuming no Rolexes owned I would go with the 3 SS choice. But today with one SS and one WG, I'd take a PM to change things up.

The three SS would be my choice. Submariner, Polar Explorer II, Sky-Dweller on Jubilee if you have the wrist for it. If not, DJ on Jubilee with the fluted bezel.

If it's $30K max spend for my lifetime than I'm taking 3-5 SS Models Rolex + Others.
If $30K is just this years budget, Give me the PM Watch. ![]() |

I would go for one PM watch over 3 lesser and more common stainless steel watches. I speak from experience, I do have a a few ss models: Pepsi GMT 126710BLRO, OP41 yellow dial 124300, Submariner 124060, and a DD40 yellow gold, black dial, diamond markers: #228238)
In terms of luxury items; If you can only purchase one item, buy the top item you can comfortably afford. Put it this way: Would you rather own a beautiful $1,000,000 home or 3 average houses costing $333k each? I would prefer living the million dollar home. |

If 30k, probably 3 Rolex SS. But ideally, 1 PM 1SS

To start, do the three SS. One day you will want a PM as you are already thinking about that.

3 at 30k.
I have a mental hangup about any one piece being over $10k. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
