I'd save it.
I'd save it.
I'd just settle with only one gold vintage daytona till I die.
A colleague of mine in the early 1990s had this exact Mustang fastback. Everyone said he was crazy for spending $19,000 on it. (Bought it from original owner!) It now sits in the garage at his house, which is worth less than the Mustang...Quote:

I would also get a Jalpa and a Miura, and a 69 Ferrari GTO, but I didn't wanna come off as greedy...lol.
@JoeyZ
You're right. The 70s non-winged Countach is sexy af. The 80s version with the surfboard is the one I object to.
In regard to vintage cars.... I sold a relatively rare BMW 17 years ago that I bought for €25k in the mid 90s and sold it for €16k and thought I robbed the guy. Back then those would lose value, not gain any. Long story short, those go for 85k to 100k now. [emoji2357] So it was he who robbed me (if he kept it). [emoji23][emoji1787][emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]
If I told you what I let my original M635csi go for, you might not feel so bad. I should have just GIVEN it to the buyer, in hindsight...
Back to watches, as I thought of one more I'd buy as a billionaire:
The HYT H4. And then, I would post a video of me shattering it to bits on YouTube, because I find HYT watches almost laughable. Many of them could pass for the prize you win at the carnival for popping all three balloons with three darts...
I literally had to look them up and am honestly surprised it took them 9 years to go bankrupt.Quote:

Here we go... Buy assets not liabilities, although some of the really high end collectible watches could be consider assets as well to be fairQuote:

And THAT is the best looking one. The "skull watch," currently on closeout at just $43,500 US, is even more doo doo.
I would sooner wear a Swatch and a hot pink tank top, and get a Britney Spears tattoo on my neck.
Unless you gave money away, spending a thousand-million dollars would take quite some stupidity.Quote:

I will buy AP company. Not sure if that is enough money though. :-)
It would be two. Both would be Gens. Omega:Dark Side of the Moon.....and Omega:Snoopy
I would have bought this watch right here:

I'd get a royal oak 5402 and remove the hands, because I no longer have to worry about time
The Silver Snoopy for me. Snoopy was my HD mascot and I have a thing for the "toon" watchesQuote:

I'd hire a good looking lady watchsmith, to fix all the damn watches I keep busting. Then I'd break them again, take time out for two fingers of Islay Violets 33 Single Malt, wash and repeat. [s]fixing[/s][s]fixing[/s]
If I won a billion, I'd tell them, "Yes, I DO want fries with that."
Then I'd buy a gold VC Overseas Tourbillon.

I would commission a watchmaker to custom make a solid gold piece, full of engraving, and somehow incorporate parts from a family heirloom watch into the mix. Or maybe instead of gold, a movement carved out of diamond. A clear movement.
This one .
