Which 3 watch collection would you rather have?

DaytonaC Black
AP 15400 Blue
Lange 1815 RG

Or

Hulk
AP 15202st
YG Day Date 40

Obviously, the money is a little different but not dramatically so.

1st Collection. Remove the Daytona and the 15400, and add a 15202 and a Speedster Pro and you have an iconic watch collection.

Didn't you get bored of the 116500’s? Or was that the 44Ti or maybe the...




However I do agree on the 116500 and 15202 plus one other as the better option but only with them being at retail I wouldn’t buy at a premium.

Who asked you?!?

Do as I say not as I do!

Letting the 116500 go was probably a mistake but I don’t regret owning the 44ti for a second and that made it possible for me at the time

I prefer option one of those two. I am also in the process of consolidating down to 3-4 watches. I am aiming for -
PP 5711 (white)
Daytona C (black)
AP 15202 or FPJ CB

1st one for me, but for my wrist I might be looking for a 15300.

Now if the 2nd set had a 5711 in it instead of a 15202... probably would be different story for my taste.

Strictly limiting to these choices then #1. The Daytona and the Hulk are a throw up, Daytona probably more versatile. The RG 1815 beats the YG DD for me, again, more versatile for most (full on YG bracelet is a hard watch to wear day in day out for most people). Just as shame you couldn't swap the 15400 for the 15202.....

15202st
Lange 1, Patek 5196p (should be about the same price as a dd40 preowned), or a 44mm AP Ti depending on if you would rather have a sportier third.

imho

If I'm limited to these exact models, I would go with the first, Daytona, AP RO and Lange.

Me too!

Lange 1815

That’s the right 3 of 6, imo.

Assuming there’s no mixing and matching, I’ll take option 2.
