Between watches, property, cars, and pew pew items. It would be a daze of amazement.

I won’t be buying a watch. However, I’ll be watching my money.

I'm thinking I'd likely get a few: 1) DD41 with ice blue Roman dial, 2) YM WG on OF, 3) WG Daytona on OF, and sticking with my current plan of getting an OP41 in green or robin's egg blue.

I'd start building my dream home on 40 acres of beautiful rolling land with plenty of garage space and great views to enjoy some down time with my family.

I'd set up a private entity to collect the winnings and stay under the public radar. Then continue to invest wisely and keep the money working.

As for watches.....

Patek 5270G-019 Blue Dial - Swap blue leather strap for a dark brown

I'd stay patient and get the following at retail

Blue Sky-Dweller
Green Daytona
No Date Submariner

Best,
Scott

If money was no object, I’d get a couple of platinum Daytonas. One to use as a beater and one for formal occasions.

I’d probably give most of it away, maybe our local food bank, or maybe set one up on my own.

I need something to do when I’m fully retired

Reminds me of the Parks and Rec episode about the Rolexus, a Lexus full of Rolexes.

My vote would be something from ALS.

With free money a PP 5270, a Lange Zeitwerk and a Greubel Forsey as I'm a good patriot.

I'm actually pretty happy with my modest collection so I'd probably just buy a few basic subs and DJs and pass them out to friends and family.

It's nice to dream. Way too much money for any one person. Hope it's hit by a group of people and everyone will still get a nice chunk.

I have a few watches at the moment and find myself wearing only half of them. I think I'd start by purging some before I made a decision on anything new but I'd love to buy some nice watches as gifts to friends, especially if their into it.

I’d probably go independent...maybe commission Philippe Dufour, FP Journe, Voutilainen, or the Gronefeld bros to make me a super complicated piece-something like a perpetual calendar chronograph minute repeater alarm remontoir...see how many of those complications these master craftsmen can jam into something 40mm/under 12mm thick...
