My dream collection

I don't own anything near this, but I was thinking before, what would my dream watch collection consist of. I wouldn't want more than 4 to 5 watches, so I came up with this... As a 4 piece collection, do you guys think you could get anything better? (I know there is no vintage included, and try to keep your suggestions within a reasonable budget... i.e. all 4 under £250,0000)

Platinum daydate, audemars piguet royal oak offshore 44mm rose gold on rubber. Patek 5070P. Yellow gold datejust.

And some (5 to 10) beater ss rolexes.

Probably that^ could change any moment though..

That would be a great collection. Personally I am not too mad on the AP FC diver.... I would probably pick a SDDS over that, but non the less great pieces.

I wasn't a FC fan until I actually handled a FC piece and learned a little about it.

It's grown on me ever since then.
