Building a new SOTC. What would you select from these?
Rebooting my collection by selling a few pieces leaving funds open to select three watches. What combo would you select from the following (prices are roughly equal) and why?
1). Modern Pepsi + Snoopy 50th + Submariner 2). Batgirl + Snoopy 50th + Zenith Chronomaster Original Hodinkee 3). Snoopy + Ed White 321 + Submariner 4). Snoopy + VC Overseas (white, blue out of budget) + Submariner 5). Pepsi + VC Overseas white + Submariner Feel free to rearrange to form your group of 3 if prices are in the same pincode. Cheers. |

If you have the Sub and Pepsi as the core, any 3rd watch would be okay imo.

Not on your list but I highly recommend this combo.
Out of all my watches these are by far the most worn and enjoyed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You don't say which submariner though, if a 5513 then I'd add that instead of the batgirl.

Number 5 because it doesn’t come with a cartoon character on the dial.

Clearly, based on what I glean from the selections you prepared there has to be one Rolex turning bezel and one Speedmaster. I respect that. Let’s make that an Ed White and a Pepsi. Add something gold on a strap as the third. A Cartier or if the budget allows a Vacheron/Lange. If you need to save somewhere to make that happen, compromise on the Speedy, the regular 3861 is also a fantastic watch, if you can get a golden VC with a 4400 movement or a nice Lange Saxonia with the savings of taking that over an Ed White I‘d do that any day of the week. Same with a BLNR over a BLRO.
In any event, I’d encourage some diversity. How boring is an all steel all bracelet all black dial all industrial grade lineup?
