A watch in each category?

Of course, that makes sense!

But I wouldn't diversify more.

What I should to do get an ideal collection ( well, that is really subjective ), is to own the king of each category:

A Vintage: Certainly the Small Egiziano.

A Luminor: The Logo or the MM are hard to beat ( Pre V for both of them, of course ).

A Luminor Marina?: The 36 / 40 are the most appealing, to me; for their rarity and mystery ( Pam 40 ).

A Mare: The Pre V!

A Rad: The Cali or the 3646 ( preferrabily the Vintage ), but if not the 232 / 249.

A Sub: The 64!

And last but not least: The Arktos, which is an hybrid of the Sub and the Luminor Marina, for its history, and because, IMO, this is the most interesting creation in the Vendome Range...

Aaah, Gastby...

I almost forgot...

Huge congrats for the 5218-301/A!

It will make a great duo with your awesome Pam 6!

A Duo I dreamt about, and I was never able to realize!

Best, my friend.

For me, a good collection is diversity

By: AnthonyTsai : August 20th, 2009-07:09

There are some who like to collect watches in a particular sector, like all chronos, all time only, etc. I like more diversity in my collection so I try to buy pieces which are more different where no really isn't any overlap in my watches, ie: If I have ...

What a nice question. Of course, I can only offer my opinion, and I venture so since I think I have been in a similar situation. I find myself in a position where owning many pieces simply doesn't make sense. It doesn't stop me from wanting them though. S...

Some very interesting points made

By: Mr.Gatsby : August 21st, 2009-01:14

Guys, appreciate the responses very much. I find this as a very difficult topic to put in words, but I'll try my best. I must add, that occasionally, I rate a certain collection of watches that are less desirable (in which I mean, less coveted by the mass...

Having more than one defines a good collection.
