If I had unlimited funds, I'd buy an everrose president (only because there is no all-rose datejust) with white dial and an LV Sub.

Platinum DD2 With the black on black concentric band arabic dial (I have seen Federer in an ad wearing a tux with one and it looked RIDICULOUS!)... for rolex

BUT... I would certainly venture towards Patek for a beautiful leather strapped classic, and then an AP Royal Oak offshore Rose Gold/Rubber strap for my sports/leisure model (or perhaps hublot big bang RG)

One day!

Mad watch - check the video.

That is the most unique watch that I have ever seen. I am not sure if I like it or hate it but it is interesting!

I'm a simple man, a classic SS Daytona would be enough! Or... the WG black face Daytona is very nice as well...
