If you could purchase only 4 watches from Rolex and Omega in your entire life and you had to purchase them new TODAY at an AD with a total budget of $30,000. Let’s pretend everything was available at MSRP.

What would you pick (be careful not to go over budget)?

Here is my selection:

Total: $28,750

EDITED - to follow the rules

OK, I'll play. I prefer vintage watches, so this was a challenge. The DeVille is for the wife, can't leave her out (even if she is not that into watches).

And an Omega Speedmaster (I would have enough to get either the Hesalite or the Sapphire Sandwich) - $5,350 - $6,350

Grand Total: $28,800 - $29,800

PS. While working this list, the Ed White price was not available in my region... I would possibly rework the list to accommodate that speedy.

I'd go for a pepsi, a panda daytona, an AT 41 with a blue dial and a filler

Absolutely the only modern watches from either brand I would really want to own. It looks like the Globemaster is $6,900 and the price of the Milgauss is $8,300.

Throw them in the garbage and then this specimen 1966 Vintage Rolex Submariner 5513 Gilt Tropical Dial $27,550. Gotta follow the rules for the theoretical group of 4
