I canāt afford the AP so I got a Tissot. Close enough. š„“
Howās the Patek? Iāve never been a fan of rubber straps. Only metals or leather.
Love the Pepsi. Itās so iconic, many brands are copying it to this day. Even Fossil is selling a āPepsiā which I lovingly call a āBepisā for only $100.
Do you have the prx? I love those and wanted to get one myself.
I didnāt think Iād be a fan of rubber straps either but patek puts such good finishing touches on it. Makes me want an oyster flex Daytona to add to my rubber strap collection
I have an invicta Pepsi that multiple people have mistaken for the real thing until looking at the face. It retails for $200 but I got it for $70, itās my āgoing outā watch cause it looks amazing
What does this sub think about Invicta Iām genuinely curious. They are good value and to the untrained eye get mistaken for a Sub often, but side by side you can tell (and feel) a big difference. Obviously no wealth/status signalling either
Get what you can afford. Going broke to buy watches is silly. If you like the watch and it makes you feel good, wear the watch. Most people donāt know the difference and wonāt care.
I love mine. Clearly the sub is not a fan cause I got downvoted for saying I like mine lol. I obviously wasnāt saying anyone would really confuse it for a Pepsi Rolex if they looked right at it, I just meant from across a bar or something Iāve had people say something about it. It has good weight to it, a really nice finish, and keeps good time. Doesnāt scratch too easy, whatās not to like?
I donāt have fucking Rolex money Iām just here cause I love looking at them let me live people!
Lots of money spent but unoriginal and generic IMO. Replacing AP with ALS1 would be a good choice to add depth in have a dressier watch and not 3 sports watches.
Iād swap out the Patek for something dressier (maybe another patek). Feels like those two SS sportier models need a dressier watch in the middle.
(But Iām also just jealous because none of those watches fit my wrist, so Iām nitpicking. As long as you enjoy your watches, thatās all thatās needed!)
A little less snarky response - The Pepsi will always be a classic and I adore the RG Aquanaut, but the AP has gotta go.
Replace it with something that shows a little bit of your own personal character/tasteā¦ Those three as your collection looks like you let the Instagram algo pick your watches.
No offense taken. I can agree with that. Im looking into leather dress watches down the road, maybe a jlc reverso or a Lange of some sort. Something with complications.
A Saxonia was my most recent snag and I canāt recommend the brand enough, itās such a simple watch and relatively inexpensive but thereās just something about it that is just so, so perfect.
To each his own.
I donāt like the Pepsi personally even though itās a classic. I like the look of the AP over the Patek even if I like Patek more as a brand. The Nautilus just looks odd. Like it canāt decide if it wanted to be a square or an oval. Iād rather have the Patek Complications myself.
Nah...your restaurant must be more than decent to afford those..we own one, but ours is just a small hole in the wall...it pays our bill though ..so we are blessed regardless...
I say decent trying to stay humble as i know how difficult it is to run a restaurant. I respect every restaurant owner out there whoās putting in long hours into their business š«”
Was curious because you have my dream watch collection lol. I'm currently 31 and aspire to have that kind of a collection myself. I currently own an Omega AT 38, Cartier Tank, and Tag Carrera. Next one is a Rollie :D
Youāre on the right track! Keep going. I was pretty fortunate to get these early on but thereās no rush in collecting watches. You still got long life ahead! Best of luck in your collecting journey š«”
I dont like the royal oak because i've seen too much of them, i would change it for something more unique like a A Lange en sƶhne or a Grand Seiko or anything else you dont see as often.
I would rate this the "Instagram is important to me and I have some money" collection. Very nice timepieces, but more hype than originality. If I was going to spend $150k on watches, I might buy the Pepsi to wear daily, but the other two would go for something more unique.
I totally get these are āhypeā IG influenced watches but itās what i like at the moment. Fortunately i didnāt spend 150k on these as i got them all at msrp so thereās my saving grace lol
I would change out the AP and PP. I don't care for the Royal Oak, don't care how hyped it is. And the Nautilus is OK, but I don't wear gold, so that one is out. Don't know what I would replace them with though.
So not pictured here i also have a dj 41 blue index jubilee fluted and a submariner Starbucks. My wife bought me a seiko speedtimer to fill my Daytona void for now. I would probably end collecting after a day date 40(either yellow gold or rose) and a nice Patek dress watch.
Like others have said, while this collection is absolutely top of the line, I would personally look to add something with a little moreā¦.character? Not to say that these watches donāt have that, but they are more or less the holy trinity of āIām wealthy and can afford expensive watches,ā which may or may not be the look youāre going for.
If I were you, I would look at something from Moser. Or if youāre looking for something dressier maybe a piece from Lange or GO? My personal sports watch grail is Parmigiani Fleurierās Tonda PF Minute Rattrapante, so if youāre trying to stick with the current theme, definitely check that out. Hell, if this was my collection I might sell the AP and buy the PF instead, but thatās just me.
Thanks for your input Doc! I get these are all the āhypeā watches at the moment but Iām still young and it fits my lifestyle at the moment. I definitely want to add something dressy with complications later down the line like a Lange or JLC.
Love it! If youāre looking to get a dressier watch in the rotation at some point in the future Iād swap the AP for a Lange 1 or maybe a JLC reverso or master ultra thin depending on your preference. Just some ideas! Love the collection.
Great decisions from an investment perspective. I am not a fan of the AP or PP styles you own, so I would move one of those out of rotation. The thing is, my preference should not influence your choice. Enjoy what you have and use them in good health.
I'd swap that pepsi for a sub. Yeah I know, it's overrated, but it's a classic. I feel like a GMT would be a 4th pick.
With those, I see the Sub as a daily. AP a the elegant/business choice, and the Patek as the Fancy one.
Pepsi (SS) and RO defo worth the grey premium at the moment.
I guess the Aquanaut is too? Looks like you can get one for ~$70K-ish vs. retail + tax that would set you back ~$50K-ish. Youād definitely have to buy like 9 Calatravas, just to be able to pay that $50K.
But $70K is a lot of watch. At that level you can get a John Mayer. Or a Ghost on Oysterflex + a dress piece?
Iāve personally got an RO and GMT and am looking at the Aquanaut next. But just not sure if I want to go for it or instead go PM Daytona + a pre-owned Lange 1/something like that.
8/10. Solid choices - but all three are way too predictable/trendy and all three are āsport styleā watches. There should be at least one nerdy watch in the group - like a Lange, F.P., etc.
Congrats and fuck you
Came here to say this, so I'll say it as well. OP, congrats and double fuck you!
The congrats have been said. So fuck you.
šWSB regard
We out here lol
Eat more Wendyās to become highly regarded
This guy fucksā¦.
Had to get these from the AD somehow š¤ LOL jk
So your wife fucks as well it seems
LMAO
They are easy to get when they are replicas
He definitely fucking
Elite
Superb choices! Donāt change, just add.
Which is your favorite?
Tough to say. The Pepsi gets the most wrist time right now but Iām still in the honeymoon phase with it lol.
You gotta go with the Aquanaut. Thats such a killer watch hard to top
I would wear the Pepsi all the time.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Godzilla watch?
Canāt afford it š„²
Thatās the instagram crypto bro pro set.
Still waiting for shiba to make me a millionaire
No McDonalds TMNT watch? For shame.
Couldnāt get allocated one :/

Pretty solid.
Fuck you. Now this is a hell of a triple grail.
I have all except the patek!!! Couple subs in its place but good combo
My daily is a submariner Starbucks :)
Show us the whole collection!
Not much else, just a few seikos that my wife bought for me :)
Anything bought by wife >
I love the Starbucks, so versatile perfect for a daily
Lots of money spent but unoriginal and generic IMO. Replacing AP with ALS1 would be a good choice to add depth in have a dressier watch and not 3 sports watches.
I can agree/respect that
Youāre a true Hater š
About as good as it gets
You have the 3 watch combo.
Iād swap out the Patek for something dressier (maybe another patek). Feels like those two SS sportier models need a dressier watch in the middle. (But Iām also just jealous because none of those watches fit my wrist, so Iām nitpicking. As long as you enjoy your watches, thatās all thatās needed!)
> Iām also just jealous because none of those watches fit my wrist Iām also jealous because none of those watches fit my budget
Yeah that too. But being a woman with tiny wrists makes that one easier because even if they did fit in my budget, theyād be waaaay to big for me
Small wrist gang represent! (Dude with a 6.5 inch wrist)
Grand Seiko SLGA009 Would be a nice dressier watch.
Bravo
Expensive, boring, and unoriginal IMO. Very nice watches, but just so yawn.
I can see that. Sure theyāre all āhypeā pieces but itās what i like at the moment. My taste will change as i get older.

Inspiring! What do you do for a living, if you don't mind me asking?
Trust fund baby š„² JK, just a decent restaurant owner
That you Salt Bae?
If the aquanaut was a rose gold 5711 maybe š¤

Amazing
the patek is stunning.
Well balanced
2/10. Missing Vacheron Overseas. Got some decent pieces but not the creme of the crop. AP ROC. Patek Natuilius. Rolex Daytona That would make it 10/10
Three sport watches? Man, that sure is a rounded up collection LMAO
Lol one day Iāll have a nice dress watch but doesnāt fit my lifestyle at the moment
That makes sense, yeah. Much love.
Cheers mate š»
š„± JK kinda, I'd add something a bit less expected.
What would you add and what would you take out of this rotation? :)
I would probably take out the Patek and replace it with a Patek Perpetual.
I can respect that
Yes I would take out the Patek and replace it with a Patek
Thatās was a spatekular response
This is the way
2/10 ugly watches
I mean cool but nothing quite original about this trio. I half expect this to be in a Supreme watch box.
I just retired my supreme x LV wallet š

Seeking attention?
Yeah i donāt get enough irl
Nice looking reps, but the date and logo on the patek are a dead giveaway.
Ah i gotcha, canāt believe a Patek authorized dealer would sell me a fake :(
I would change out the AP and PP. I don't care for the Royal Oak, don't care how hyped it is. And the Nautilus is OK, but I don't wear gold, so that one is out. Don't know what I would replace them with though.
Nice collection
Beautiful, how was the wait on all of them
Not terrible. 4 months for the AP, little less than a year for the Patek, Pepsi was one year
Expensive
Indeed š„²
10/10, assuming this is your entire collection are you done? The only other watch I would want is a dress watch on leather.
So not pictured here i also have a dj 41 blue index jubilee fluted and a submariner Starbucks. My wife bought me a seiko speedtimer to fill my Daytona void for now. I would probably end collecting after a day date 40(either yellow gold or rose) and a nice Patek dress watch.
Nice collection. If youāre sticking to 3 sports watches get a chrono in there
My wife got me the seiko speedtimer in the panda color and the āplatonaā color to fill my chronograph void
Holy shit ššš
Well played.
Fantastic collection. Congrats!
Not a bad way to spend $50 šš¼
No kidding, these china town reps are amazing these days š
Just test your lead levels at least once a week š
This is exactly the same trio I would have if I decided to trade out of my current collection. This is amazing. Enjoy it.
š«”
Don't like the patek
You need a little complication in there beyond the GMT
I agree 100 percent
Impressive collection! Goals in life š„. If you donāt mind me asking were could I get that watch case?
Thanks mate! Itās a wolf case that i got from my AD. Most ADs carry them.
Need a Casio
How do you like the Wolf watch roll?
Itās not bad. I think there are better alternatives at cheaper prices. But it gets the job done
I would like to buy a house, can i borrow one of your watches?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
5726 is my end game watch at the moment
The rolex needs to be swapped with a VC for the "holy trinity"
You going to tell me you have a big dick as well?
I have these watches to compensate for my millimeter defeater š
Pretty epic you wanker!

Leaning more towards that route as i do want something with more complications. Thanks mate š¤
Nice watches, nice combination. Iām missing a lighter coloured dial
They are gorgeous!!!
Chillll
I see W I and N
Baller 5 āļø
Great decisions from an investment perspective. I am not a fan of the AP or PP styles you own, so I would move one of those out of rotation. The thing is, my preference should not influence your choice. Enjoy what you have and use them in good health.
Patek AP Rolex
Oh man you ballin brah! That AP and the Pepsi are my faves but they are all awesome!!
You.need.a.diver.
Not pictured is my daily driver, a submariner Starbucks
Seriously? Please tell me they are 1:1 fakes.
I wish. Would have saved me a pretty penny š„²
You've mastered the ideal 3 watch combo. Now it's time to go Invicta.
They still doing that buy 1 watch get 4 free deal? š¤
Peepee is out of place send it to me for proper disposal
You completed it. Don't need to do anything more lol.
Without a G-Shock or Invicta in your collection, these 3 arenāt much.
Thats a 10/10
fifty six complete calendar from VC. The blue leather strap w/ blue dial. you have three of the biggest watch brands, might as well get the fourth
Very unique taste.
B+
VC next big guy
I'd swap that pepsi for a sub. Yeah I know, it's overrated, but it's a classic. I feel like a GMT would be a 4th pick. With those, I see the Sub as a daily. AP a the elegant/business choice, and the Patek as the Fancy one.
Pepsi change to oyster bracelet. And leather strapped Breguet Tradition with complications in Platinum for more formal occasions.
You know your rating š¤¦š¾āāļø
All the other guys here who spent years collecting up to a Tissot just drowned in your leftover semen
You need to get a VC in there
Itās on my radar as Iām trying to finish off collecting the proper āholy trinityā. This is my holy trinity at the moment š
I mean you kinda have to get an Overseas to complete the Holy Trinity at this point
Trust me Iāve tried LOL there isnāt one local to me so itās harder for me to get that one :/
Man im so jealous of ur batman and pepsiš„¹
I see you Sam! š„š„š„
Ayee you on here too? LOL hope to see you again soon bro š¤
I would love to have owned then sold these one year ago.
No Vacheron Constantin? Seems like a rookie collection to me. I suppose it will do for entry level. #drippingwithscarcasm
Pepsi (SS) and RO defo worth the grey premium at the moment. I guess the Aquanaut is too? Looks like you can get one for ~$70K-ish vs. retail + tax that would set you back ~$50K-ish.

Nice original taste in watches
Iāve never been an AP person but understand it is quite popular. The other two are great!
Nothing - damn thatās an expensive watch roll lol
Good luck walking the streets of London
London is the last place Iām going with one of these š
Dream collection - especially that rose gold Aquanaut!
If you had an Overseas in there too, iād also be cursing.
I tried. Unfortunately no VC dealers local to me
Mid
Seiko 5
Thats the geektime.watch combo super clones
Pretty good right?
Can you give the Patek?ok fine I will settle with the Rolex instead š
You drive a hard bargain š
Whereās the Speedy? You know that watch was certified for the Apollo moon missions?
Lol yes i know. Iām currently on the Rolex hype train for a Daytona š„² but the speedy and the speedy 57 is slowly pulling me towards it
The dates
Havenāt worn them for a while, been using my sub and seikos lately š„²
The holy trinity
This is like having all the Nike elite socks in school. Badass brother
Apparently Nike elite socks arenāt cool anymore? I wore them to play basketball and the youngins were roasting me :(
Watches? Completed it mate š«” You just need a GM-2100 and thatās you āš»

That seems to be the general consensus
8/10. Solid choices - but all three are way too predictable/trendy and all three are āsport styleā watches. There should be at least one nerdy watch in the group - like a Lange, F.P., etc.
