    Default So you just won a billion in the lottery. What watch do you buy?

    I know the easy answer is all of them, but which one do you buy first?

    For me it would be a gen Speedmaster because that’s the one that started my love of watches.
    Others to follow.

    What’s yours?

    A billion? I'd buy Torneu on 57th in Manhattan, and a permanent suite at the Four Seasons right across the street. That is my heavens gate.



    Each facing each other.

    @mysterio could help me manage my 100's of millions of dollars from me winning the lottery at a 0.5% commission per year.

    US lottery is now at $1.6 billion with about $950 million per year and without USA federal tax at 39% and local state taxes or $80 million per year for 20 years. Chance of winning is about 1 in 300 million.

    OP will be mad for derailing his thread

    If money would be no object, i’d probably go crazy on Grand Complications Pateks, 3970, 5970, Sky Moon, World Time and the Grandmaster Chime as the holy grail piece.
    Probably some gold Nautiluses for the more active day along with an army of Rolexes.

    I have the selling rights on Big Ben, so make me an offer. (I accept Geekbux- trying to get to Daytona's tally)
    You do realize that Big Ben is only the main strike bell, not the entire tower.
