The perfect collection for under 35K

If I were to blow up my collection and start fresh, what should I buy? I want four watches. All sport. 36-42mm. I don't have a desire for any dress watches. I prefer matt dial to glossy. I love Rolex and I am beginning to appreciate Heuer and Tudor. I have 35k to spend. I prefer paperwork and unpolished but if push came to shove, I would go with the dial and unpolished case.....since you cannot wear the papers! Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks guys!

How about these four?
Explorer 1016
GMT Master 1675
Red Sub 1680
Since you mentioned Heuer I'd go with an Autavia 1163.

For under 35k......I think the reds alone will eclipse that.

35k will be tough for unpolished examples- the 4 below will probably be closer to 40k in perfect original condition...forget about the paperwork and boxes. You will have to scale back to these more common references to get the best examples. In either case this will take time, you won't find all 4 at once.
  • Rolex 5513 Sub
  • Rolex 1675 GMT
  • Rolex 1016 Explorer
  • Heuer Autavia Jo Siffert or Autavia 2446C (these are both very hard to find today)

Tudor 9411 blue snowflake
Heuer 1163T Autavia "Jo Siffert"
Rolex 1665 great white or 5513 maxi

Ok, so I have made a decision. The following will be it:

Red 1680
1675
Matt 16800 (the daily wearer, best of both worlds, killer patina and modern features)
Heuer 2446 gmt

The red with papers will be 16, the gmt 9.5, the 800 6.5, and the heuer 6.4. All with papers and unpolished. So I will go over a little. Such is life. Please let me know if anyone sees a Heuer with booklet for sale anywhere. I have leads on all the rest.
