Your ultimate watch collection.
I've finally narrowed down what i would like my watch collection consist of that could be realistically attainable in the next 5 years.
Here they are. I already have the Sub C and am hoping in the next month and a half to add two more to the collection. The Daytona if i can pressure my AD to just give me the discount i want already and the Squadra or the Panerai if i can get the same deal i got back in March.

I'm content with my current watch collection of a 116610LN, a steel AP Royal Oak 15300ST and an Omega Speedmaster MoonWatch from 1969. But ... a true WIS never stops dreaming of course So here's my ultimate watch collection, on top of my current collection:
- SS ceramic Daytona (fingers crossed for late 2013 market debut) - Hublot Black Magic 44mm with UNICO movement (hopefully it will come to life in 2012 or 2013) - Patek Nautilus 5980/1A (way out of my budget, but maybe one day...)

I'm trying to be a realistic as possible. I would be very happy to have a collection like this.

- GMT-IIc (already have)
- AP Royal Oak 15300 (blue dial) - Omega Speedmaster pro (meteorite dial LE) - IWC Portuguese (either 7-day or chrono) - JLC Master Control (dress watch w/ moonphase) I like the "iconic" watches.

I don't like to have similar watches competing for wrist time so would only have "a few" no matter how much money I had.
I currently own my ultimate "everyday" watch, a 14060m. My ultimate "dress" watch would be a Patek 5119j. (probably within 5 years) My ultimate "vintage" and true Grail is a MilSub. Along the way I would like a Breitling Emergency for when I climb alone and I'd love a birth year maxidial Root Beer GMT.
