What makes the perfect watch collection in your opinion of course.

Perfect collection is the one your wife won't "borrow"......that's why I'm sticking with " big ugly" sports models

I used to think my collection was perfect.


But have come to realize a collection (at least mine) should always be evolving. Since the photo I have gotten rid of several pieces and added others. There will always be permanent pieces but I prefer to continue to have a revolving collection.

Amazing collection!! Love the PP Nautilus or AP royal oak, I cant tell.

The PERFECT Collection you ask... Well that is an easy one.... The perfect watch collection consists of only one thing...


Wanting what you have rather than having what you want... watches, cars, house... insert anything

[Deepsea Florida]

All the current Sub models +DSSD...that would be my dream collection

[htc8p]

my idea of collection:

mostly sports watches.
a gmt
a diver
a chronograph

but there is 100% chance that you wont know how your collection turns out.

[salo75]

1.) Rolex Day Date
2.) Rolex Submariner
3.) Rolex DSSD
4.) Rolex Date Just 2
5.) Panerai Luminor Marina (Not sure which one yet )

Salud!

`every type of Sub I can get my hands on and a moonphase.

[FrankinCA]

First and foremost, I prefer dive watches. So for me, an ideal collection would include a Planet Ocean, Rolex Submariner and a Breitling dive watch (Steelfish).

[bodybump]

Maybe A Sports watch, A Casual Watch and a Formal watch..:)

[slcbbrown]

I think any collection with some sort of "theme". Something like-- dive watches, or 60's alarm watches, or rectangular watches, or 7750-movement watches.

The collections that I don't care for are "I bought a bunch of brand new Rolex and stuck them in a drawer/safe", or my own collection which is "I have accumulated a pile of "bargains" with no rhyme or reason".

[DWILZEN]

I have been thinking about this also. I currently have GMT,Daytona. I would like to get the Green Sub and White dial EXP II and then maybe the SS/Plat YM. ( had that one before and sold it) mistake

I'm with you 100%.

In a previous "wish-list" thread, I listed my must-haves, which are all pretty much the "iconic" watches. It's kinda like a "masterpiece" in the art world - something you know has stood the test of time, and can be appreciated no matter in which era it exists.

So my collection would have a sport watch, a dress watch, a chrono, and maybe one or two other watches, but all iconic. JMHO

See guys these are the answers I was looking for! we all know a collection is forever changing this thread is
about what you want now!

i'm always keen on adding new pieces to my collection, and like most people, i may like a certain piece more this week than last week

i prefer quality rather than quantity (G-Shocks doesnt count )

eventually, and ideally, i'd like to move onto other more exclusive/higher end brands... but i am happy with what i have at the minute.

each to his/her own.

Agreed, I pined away for a certain BR 03-92 in carbon and blue for a couple of years, bought it, wore it and now would gladly trade it away for something different.
