The Alma Mater Collection

So, the other day I was thinking that it would be cool to have a collection of watches that bear the colors of each of the schools from which I have been awarded a diploma. I then realized that I could assemble such a collection in Rolex Submariners (which would be my preference): high school (blue/gold); college (black/gold); and law school (blue/white).

Anyone actually done this or something similar? If so, please show pix!

So you just need:

116618LB
116618LN
116619LB

You can do it all with three PM Subs!!

Exactly what I was thinking. Would be a sweet (albeit pricey) collection. Maybe two tone for the blue/gold and black/gold pieces.

What a superb shot, stunning!

The 3 gold Subs is a great idea, altho you could get a YG GMTc for black and gold for some diversity, and the TT blue Sub.

Yep. The TT YM with a white dial could take care of the black/gold piece, too. Would sort of look like a "home" jersey for that particular school.
