With those two watches it's to retire from the world of collecting. The rest is pure vice.

I personally think that owning a Sub of any reference and a Speedmaster Pro is the quickest shortcut to a quintessential two watch collection.

I would only add that a more dressy watch would be nice, but then that would be a three watch collection.

Very nice.

Honestly no.

These are two most widely recognised watches that ever existed.

There are obviously specially commissioned pieces that fetch astronomical amounts or are packed with complications but these two are unbeatable.

Only others for mass recognition would be the Cartier tank and the Rolex day date

I’d throw a Datejust on Jubilee in there too.

Agree, I got the same 2 watches this year, they are a great combo!

Looking to add the BLNR and Daytona over the next 7 -10 years to complete my Land, Air, Sea and Space collection.

Add a Reverso to those two and you have “the” iconic trio collection.
