If you were given £60,000 to buy only watches with. Same principle as the £100k garage what would you have?

Rules are:
- Can spend it on 60 watches or on 1 watch, or anything in between.
- Price paid is retail, even if you have to wait 3 years for one you can have one.
- Even if it is ltd edition and sold out, you can have one.
- Budget is £60k.

Part B) Also, if money was no object - one watch. What would you have.

Oh, a Breguet Tourbillion in platinum, a steel Rolex SD and a Patek with the change (if there was any). Money no object probably a Ulysse Nardin Royal Blue.

Edit: seems I can’t afford the Breguet ... back to the drawing board ...

I'm actually struggling to spend it all...

I'm assuming that I can keep my Tudor BBB ETA as I adore her.

Daily beater to start off with
https://m.rolex.com/watches/explorer/m214270-0003.... (circa £5k)

Dress watch for when I need to wear a suit
https://www.patek.com/en/collection/calatrava/5196... (circa £15k)

A watch to go travelling with who can transit from yacht, to cocktail no bother, and keep an eye out for the home time.
https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-seamaster... (circa £5k)

For flieger Fridays
https://www.iwc.com/gb/en/watch-collections/pilot-... (circa £5k)

90% of the time I actually find this absolutely ghastly looking thing, but then 10% of the time I admire it. Nice chrono too, so use it as a egg timer? Racing watch?
https://www.audemarspiguet.com/en/watch-collection... (£21.5k)

Really try and keep to less than 5 pieces as I hate seeing watches in boxes not being used. I even do think 5 is too many, but I'm a simple man with simple taste and could probably be more than happy with the beater and dress.

Bugger, can’t play, I’ve owned and sold or still own all the watches I like in the up top £60k bracelet.

Anything I fancy right now are £70k+ second-hand!!!
