It's out of this price range but I like the Patek Moonphase. $750,000 according to the news report when Charle Sheen lost his.

Assuming I still get to keep my current line up -

it's frightening how easy it is to hit the 100k mark...

1. RG lange 1 moonphase 30,000
2. RG Daytona - non-ceramic 25,000
3. WG Blue Sub 25,000
4. WG DD 37mm - meteorite dial 20,000


- Provided I can get really good prices on the Rolex models..

Damn! $79k is a far cry from today's price! Let me know what you find at today's prices! I get stomach ulcers thinking about the lucky folks who wer able to get one at retail

It's a fantasy thread!

In any case, I suppose if I run into this situation in the real world then I would only be getting the first two on my list and two swatches at a yard sale.

I would try and negotiate a deal to get a vintage Panerai 3646. It would be close. Might have to flip some of my watches to get it + 100k.

I would go one of two routes in this situation. I would either go classical and pick up a Vacheron Constantin Malte Perpetual Calendar Chronograph in Platinum ($80,000) and a JLC Reverso Squadra Chrono GMT in Rose Gold ($20,000).

Or I would go for haute horology, add some money to the pot, and grab the Urwerk 202 in Rose Gold ($125,000).
