so 50k...what to buy?

[rumnyc]

I collection as below:

Omega constellation (wedding gift)
Panerai 448 cali blue hands radomir
Panerai 368 destro 8 day luminor
ROO 44mm 26400Ti (my favorite and daily wear)
ROO 44mm 26401RG camo brown ceramic (newest member)

as you can see aside from my wedding gift i rather like large watches

but i cannot go bigger than 44mm in AP and i don't think i want another ROO. I also don't really need or want a dress watch or dressy sports watch as I am a jeans or sweat pants 350 days of the year kind of guy.

The watches im looking at:
1) 15202st--i have been eyeing this watch for about 10 years now. I should have already bought it when i could for about half the current mv but honestly i couldn't afford it at the time. this probably would just sit on my safe and get wrist time maybe 2-3 times a year.
2) 5167r or 5164a--nautilus seems out of range and in anycase i like the 15202 more than nautilus on the dressier side. this will get much more wrist time because its rubber and can be my travel watch since 44mm wear bulky and airplanes armrests are not kind to it.
3) new rolex pepsi meteorite--to me rolex is pepsi and this is the top dog. i like daytona but would take 15202 over it in that size range...

everything else i want is in the 80k and up range but the 50k is a hard cap (its a gift).

any thoughts or other suggestions?

My only comment is about the 5167 and 5164 because they are very small compared to what you currently wear. I have a 6.5" wrist and my 5167 fits me perfectly. My AP is a 25960 which is 39mm and it also fits me well but the lug-to-lug is even smaller for the Pateks.

my wrist is 6.5" but i have big forearms so i can pull off bigger watches but i can also do the smaller ones...

Like you I love the 44 Offshore. The two watches I want next are Patek 5726 & AP 15202. I also like the Pepsi and have ordered the wg blue face, the meteorite dial is very cool.

5164 goes well with the RG ROO, I have both, also a Datograph or Zeitwerk, they are more of a size to the 44mm, but maybe above budget.

Meteorite Pepsi!
Not only is it awesome it will
diversify your collection as well .
Or possibly the SD 50 ... food for thought ...

i don't like SD 50 but pepsi is a nice possiblity...

Your post answers itself. You’ve been eyeing the jumbo for a decade and you like it more than the pateks

Get the jumbo

Go with the Pepsi. Unique and hard to find but beautiful and rare.

Have Jumbo and 44CE its a perfect AP combo...

PP would probably go Nautilus line (once the madness is over)...

Something a little different, with 50k you may get steel Pepsi + blue dial 15500. IMHO the best middle ground. But among your choices, 5164 is my pick.
