Wow! What an incredible collection of beautiful watches. I spot a very desirable and quite rare PAM in there.
You have a good eye for beautiful timepieces.
The dial on that Tourbilon is stunning, simply stunning.
As for six figures, try 7 comfortably.

2008 omega seamaste, longines hydro conquest and my inherited 18k Gold Garrard. All auto. For work I wear a swatch dark Phoenix. I looks the part and keeps good time. I tell myself that swatch own omega and that justifies it

I bought a vintage Seiko 5 refurbished by some guy in India and told my SWMBO that that is what I wanted for Christmas this year. She snatched the pakage from the delivery guy before I could lay my hands on it so I guess I'll have to wait a couple of weeks before I know if the watch runs or not. I have a NATO strap waiting to be put on the timepiece. Total cost about ten times the $ in your wallet. :-)

Then you should use the watch on your cell phone instead until you have saved up some more.

This thread is dangerous to me.
There is nothing that intrigues me more than fine timepieces, custom razors included
That Patek Phillipe triggered my urge for a new watch.
Currently I am considering one of the following four:
An IWC big pilot or Portuguese or a Panerai Egiziano in addition to a Patek 5298P-010.
God help me, and my wallet

Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years....

The IWC big pilot is a nice watch. Fortunately I'm even more hooked on SCUBA diving.
So instead of custom razors and watches, my money goes to that and IPSC.
My Rolex cured my WWAD.

My parents gave me a Tag Heuer 2000 with stainless strap when I graduated from university 17 years ago. I have been 100% happy with it ever since. The only other watch purchases I have made are for running watches (and I have three of those!). My Tag is both my daily and my special occasion watch.
