Platinum 39mm masterpiece with meteorite dial. But no diamonds on the bracelet or bezel. Only two pear diamonds on the dial.

Same Platinum with Ice Blue dial, no germs.

Also SS WG Daytona

I would be happy with my OP Date and a SS Daytona.

All the high end models look great, but IMO too many people starving in the world to justify wondering about with a £20k plus watch on the wrist. Better to stick with the above and with the rest of the money put it towards a better cause.

I find that trite and illogical. What difference is there, morally speaking, in owning one $20K+ watch or two Rolexes - say an OP date and Daytona? Even in the developed world, there are many who consider it obscene to pay what we do for our watches.

If I could re-sell the watch for a profit, I'd choose the GMT Ice. If I had to keep the watch, I'd choose a DDII (not sure which variation).

Yea I know, a bit over the top I don't know why I picked it

I don't think people save for these, they are reflections of their life styles.

And believe me, I can only wish I had that life style

Anyway, to put some real spin on it......I like anything in the Masterpiece range. Or I've always liked the DD's with diamond lugs

I love the look of the YG Yatchmaster II but I'd have to buy a damn yatch to go with it else I'd just be a poser!

Otherwise, it would have to be an 18k GMT II green dial - keep it simple, eh
