Watch Choice

For the sake of argument lets just say you won the largest U.S. lottery to date and money was not an object. What Rolex watch would you purchase?

I'm sure I'd eventually buy many, but first thing I'd go out and get a 36mm YG DD with white stick dial.

Definitely all. But first, at risk of being trite, the MilSub.

I'll just buy a couple ADs and keep all the Daytonas from TRF members (so basically, run the ADs like how they are like now)

Likely a strange choice, but probably a 5 digit Pepsi on a Jubilee.

I'd probably get a white gold day-date, with a roman numeral dial. Not sure what color dial, but I hope to be faced with the choice!

Day-Date

Okay, I'm thinking the Day-Date Platinum, Ice blue dial with diamonds.

Buy all of them and have them on display. Better yet, open a store and try to be an AD.

Lol, reading your post it made me think how cool it would be to buy some ADs (after winning the lottery) and sell all the Daytona Cs to TRF members for retail

Will buy all the Milgauss watches in the world and pay for celebrities to wear it, then selling them double the price...
will that work?






Honestly I don't think so I'll be broke... the end!

I'd probably just spend half of it on women and wine and waste the rest.

Edit: Sorry, I meant I'd spend all of it on my wife.
























Shouldn't leave these posts up on my iPad.

I would buy across the modern line-up in SS and PM. I would then buy historically significant watches.
