With the time of open AI upon us, I thought I would ask the obvious question, what is the best 5 watch collection. After saying how best is subjective, and as soft wear doesn’t have emotion, it said these 5 of generally regarded as some of the best watches out there
It said:
Submariner
Omega moonwatch
Nautilus
Royal Oak
Cartier Tank

Maybe it tried to not be biased and give 5 different brands. But interesting to see what 5 it gave.

Personally. In a 5 watch collection the RO and Nautilus are too similar. Not sure about the tank either, personally would put a reverso in before that. Also Daytona over moonwatch? But this is the Rolex forum after all.

Mine would probably go:
Submariner
Daytona
Royal Oak
Day Date YG
Patek 3940

Maybe a more human touch.

My 5 are these …

StairLight530!! · 19 March 2023, 03:30 AM

I asked Chat GPT last time the perfect three watch collection and it said:

Submariner, Speedmaster and Navitimer.

Honestly pretty solid

I look forward to our robotic overlords.

Solid list by AI.

The 3940 was the watch of choice by Philippe stern.. what else needs to be said. It’s incredible.

The 5940 case is a work of art. Reserved for very special pieces 3670 & 5950 come to mind.

It is refined and provides dimension without the addition of a separate bezel.

For me the 5940 has a bit more character… perhaps it would have been mr sterns choice had it been available at the time.

Navitimer pretty solid?

Maybe in 2005...

tedo · 19 March 2023, 04:15 AM

In no specific order…

Blancpain FF
Cartier Santos
Panerai Fiddy
Patek Nautilus or AP RO
Rolex GMT

subtona · 19 March 2023, 04:22 AM

Sure there are more special watches but from a practical and wearable aspect, the above hit the mark for me. Ex. nothing I ever owned was more special than the resonance but i experienced reliability issues, requiring service twice in two years. (Unacceptable for me)

5167 is a great alternate, it’s a fantastic all around watch with superior legibilty and water resistance. Thin and refined. (The deployant needs improvement but that’s a separate issue)

TimeAZ · 19 March 2023, 04:26 AM

Sorry, lost me at Moonwatch. Proves the AI is flawed.

What do you have against the Moonwatch?

R35GTR · 19 March 2023, 04:37 AM

Speedmaster
Daytona
Royal oak
Nautilus
Some type of PP perpetual

I don’t think nautilus and RO are similar at all, other than being two sports watches designed by Genta. Side by side completely different finishings.

Blanch · 19 March 2023, 04:57 AM

Even Robots like the Submariner.

I like this list.

enjoythemusic · 19 March 2023, 06:14 AM

Moonwatch as in Speedmaster is a solid choice. Perhaps the most comfortable bracelet too imho.

Rollieo · 19 March 2023, 06:37 AM

Needs to be based on budget, or better to say type of watches for the 5.

Sports watch, time only, dress watch, watch with some type of complication (chrono, gmt, annual calendar, perpetual calendar, etc), bonus watch.

Roddypeepa · 19 March 2023, 06:54 AM

It’s obviously pissed.

Sub date
Gmt ii pepsi
Moonwatch
Nautilus
RO

NYG1121 · 19 March 2023, 06:56 AM

For me:

Daytona
Day Date
GMT or Sub
Some sort of RO on a bracelet
Lange 1

the dark knight · 19 March 2023, 07:22 AM

When I think 5-watch collection, I think a field/traditional pilot style watch, diver, GMT, chrono, and dress. And then I'd just pick what I believe to be the most iconic in each category.

IWC Pilot
Rolex Sub
Rolex GMT Master II
Omega Speedy Pro
Patek Calatrava

So that would be my 5.

Huh?

The Speedmaster Moonwatch is iconic as the Daytona and Submariner.

longelement · 19 March 2023, 07:38 AM

Not bad from chatgpt! Obviously not a ton of creativity though… all crowd favorites

So that would be my 5.

I like this - with unlimited budget I’d go for a perpetual calendar from Patek given their pioneering work with the complication.

Navin Johnson · 19 March 2023, 07:57 AM

If I were able to get all of these, this would be my fantastic 5. No particular order.

Vacheron Constantine Patrimony manual wind-Pink Gold
