If money was no issue

I wonder which brand would be your favorite brand if money didn't matter

Now I am very happy with my Panerai 292 and my Rolex 16610LV but if I had more I could spend on watches my dream would be a Patek Philippe, followed by Audemars Piguet.

So what would you buy if you could spend 100K or 200K. Would you buy a top brand or would you stick to several Rolexes.

I would ofcourse keep my Panerai and Rolex, no reason to sell them but I would add Patek and AP

What about you ?

for me it would be more rolexes. As for my current age Patek and Audemars is "too mature" of a watch for me.

Well, in fact money is no issue.

As Rabelais was famous for saying, 'Je n'ai rien, je dois beaucoup, et le reste que je quitte aux pauvres.' I have nothing, I owe much, the rest I leave to the poor.

No money = no issue!

I'm happy owning Rolex and many of the brands in the poll selection are not out of reach for many Rolex buyers, I think we just choose Rolex regardless of how much is in the Bank as we are rolex enthusiasts on a rolex forum.

One Rolex, one timex/gshock/seiko, one over the top platinum minute repeater dress watch.
I'll likely skip the repeater and get a meteorite Day Date.
