That would make a perfect collection!
Great choices- I would pick the openwork if they were all sitting there
I think you’re going to have a great retirement

Nice.

I reckon a DD would compliment that 19 rather well.

Do you also happen to be a police officer of 44 years old retiring?

The green DD is amazing, one of my favorites. Green and YG look so good together.

5167R. You're retired. It's time to be casual. Rubber strap all the way.

Congratulations.

All your hard work, long days and nights, finally comes to an end.

I personally prefer something not ostentatious, and simple. So out of the choices, it would be the first PP, blue dial.

Hard to go wrong with any of these choices.
I’d probably go 5172

The all-gold Rolex with a green dial has my vote! That is just classic and elegant

The green DD with deconstructed Romans is very cool. The others are not to my taste.

AP skeleton is quite nice. I would guess most of the watches have very long waits?

Patek. Because this milestone deserves a Patek. So 5172 or 5712.
