Now this is a cool thread.

I'd go one of two ways (mainly because I would need to try these on to make sure they fit):

1. VC Patrimony Traditionnelle World Time.
2. JLC MC Diving Chrono GMT navy Seals.

or

1. AP ROO Safari
2. Blancpain 50-fathoms
3. JLC MC Diving Chrono GMT Navy Seals.
4. Breguet Type XXI


Love the 2nd set of options. I own/owned them all and they're spectacular. The Navy Seals Chrono is a bit too big though. The ROO is amazing, Fifty Fathoms is the most under appreciated watch on the market, and the Breguet is gorgeous...aside from the cheapo deployment it's an awesome watch which was ALWAYS spot on accurate.

The RG Chronometer is 20K, you would have anough change left for a Patek Annual Calendar.

Personally, assuming I could keep the watches I own and not deviate from my planed purchases this year, this lovely thing would be next on my list

I would use the spare 10K to pick up an RG Radiomir, always wanted one of those!

OK, I changed my mind. I want one of them and I'd take a 312 and a speedy with the change.

Yea that's a Jaw dropper right there. That's beautiful but I still think I'd go GO Chronometer, Breguet XXII, and with the few bucks left over Rolex Explorer II 42mm. But the Patek Annual Calendar idea is interesting. It's fun to dream 8)

Fun exercise. I would go with only one watch and I think with $50k I would have exactly enough for this

The Pam 372 is gorgeous, why can't they make it in 42 or 44mm for those of us with dainty wrists??? damn Panerai.

Thanks Sergio. As I've said in other threads I really like your choices of watches over the years; I love your collection, current and 'old' and I think you and I have similar tastes in many ways. I'd like to think I'll own all of those in the not too distant future, except the GMT if it is too big. Not to worry though I'll find something easily enough to replace it with :D

Thanks Tim. We do share a similar taste in watches, it's fun to share this hobby with others who appreciate it.

Yes, the JLC Navy Seals GMT is just toooooooo large....so I replaced it yaterday with a NAvy Seals Alarm. This is the incursion All black LE edition. It went from being a watch I really really liked into my all time favorite watch in 24 hours! It's much thinner and wears much much much better than the GMT did.
