But seriously add MANY more RM's--tourbs would be fun.

Would probably be a Patek celestial for me or a set of their cloisonné dialed calatravas. I love their enamel work, some of my favorite modern art there is.

I would like a Patek 5227, the Calatrava with the officers case back in rose gold.

Hey Gus, as noted it is a 012. Not my fav tourb from RM but wouldn't mind one.

The 056 is where my lottery $$ would go.

Just amazing in so many ways (I mean 1000 hours of work for the case alone).

That is incredible , looks to be very difficult to capture in pictures, I expect in person would really wow.

Your latest RM is also amazing!

I am liking the RM very much, (time only version preferred) I could see adding 1 to the collection at some point... Until then I have this thread.

If I won the lottery, a really serious amount, I'd be far too busy living life to the full to bother to find the time to buy any more watches!

If I win the lottery I would like to go to Geneve to Rolex headquarters and ask for my "only one 01/01" limited edition personal performance submariner. Probably a mix between a vintage and modern. Something like a 39mm double red with dome sapphire crystal, rivet bracelet with flip lock, 3135 movement, SS insert, SS case...sweet dreams!

I would only fill this camel with a couple of boring old school pieces, replace the pre-moon speedy I once had, an old Daytona of some sort, and an IWC MK IX^

If I won a hideous amount of money, the last thing I would want is to draw attention to it. I'd buy a third-hand G-Shock, some ripped jeans and SpongeBob t shirt from a charity shop.

A man of true taste. SpongeBob's the man in my household. Nautical nonsense and such.

I actually bought a SpongeBob t-shirt in LA about ten years ago. Much to my wife's annoyance, I still wear it out sometimes and any kids that stray into my orbit go nuts

SpongeBob rules!

It would be easier to name the watches I wouldn't buy...

I would likely buy several. Top of the list would be APs, Rolex, ALS
