A Game: Pick 3 watches from the catalog
If you could only have 3 watches from the catalog today (including application watches but not limited editions), which do you pick? Assume budget of max $300,000ish.

Very nice!

For me I debate all the time but I think the three that would fit me the best out of the catalog today might be 5712 1/a, 5711 1/a white dial and 5131P (far under the max at only $200k or so!). This assumes I keep everything I own today which includes 5070P, 3700/1, etc which I can’t see myself parting with and compliments the first three I mentioned.

Other favorites of the catalog for me personally are 5164 1/a (just plain practical) 5524G (too big probably with the pushers and unlike the 5522 - never spent enough time with 5524), 5370P, 5204P and 5078G (even without cathedral gongs!).

Of the current catalog I can’t say that there is a watch that i really want. I would have to research to give some choices

5270 (P or 1R, I like them both!)
5905P-001
5711/1A-010

...I’d take the 5207G over them all combined, but that’s not in the given budget, haha!

I knew you would go there!

For me 5740, 5270P and the 5164.

Over budget as always!
