    If you won the lotto .............

    I of course would buy a few watches and cars, but what watches off the peg non vintage would you buy?
    My three would be sports as dress is just not me yet, but I do like the PP ref. 5170 chronograph in 18ct yellow.
    1,AP, Royal Oak of some kind
    2, PP, Nautilus jumbo of some kind
    3,PP Aquanaut jumbo on rubber Daily wear!

    Any thoughts?

    Tudor Heritage Chrono.
    Grand Seiko GMT just to see what all the fuss is all about!

    I probably wouldn't bother buying anything else though as I have so many vintage watches on the list I'd not get round to wearing anything new. If I don't win the lottery I wouldn't mind a Hamilton Chronomatic reissue and one or two Zeniths. The Striking 10th with rotating bezel for example.

    1. PP Nautilus Annual Calender
    2. A Lange & Sohn Zeitwerk
    3. Rolex Daydate
    4. Hublot Gold Big Bang 41mm
    5. IWC White Gold Portugese 7 Day

    Now I just have to win and find a dealer which sells them all

    Forget pics from Blowers,

    I'd buy Blowers,

    and wear whatever I wanted, each and every day :)

    Only tree watches, as they say in the south of Ireland, tree watches.

    Can't believe the "ordinary" replies that are coming up!! this is a lottery win not the local bingo!

    Gotta dream people! :D

    I would have a huge list of truely stunning watches, but if won BIG like the Euromillions, then the Patek 5208p would be top of the list!

    I would go the Zen route and buy one of everything.

    Re: If you won the lotto .............

    Hmmm

    Blancpain Fifty Fathoms 50th Anniversary and if I didn't have them a 16600 Sea-Dweller and a 16610LV submariner.

    I'd be tempted to add another precious metal watch too though.
    It's just a matter of time...

    My top 3 would be:


    1) Ulysse Nardin Freak Diavolo

    2) Rolex SkyDweller in white gold (unless they do platinum)

    3) Lange & Sohne Zeitwork with the sure rare opaque dial

    After that it would be between an Patek World Time and a Ulysse Nardin Moon Struck

    Re: If you won the lotto .............

    my answer wont win friends but... Maybe an 18ct Rolex. I can't see that i would wear anything very exotic. Could be tempted by a Breguet though...

    Cars: I would not run out a buy a Ferrari thats for sure. Had a Bentley before the footballers spoiled the brand image... maybe a Bristol 411 S3 and get it restored.

    As I've probably got more chance of winning the lottery anyway, I'd go for a PRS3 Broadarrow.

    Re: If you won the lotto .............

    Hmm I love this dream.

    1: I'd splash out on one of those vulgar yet strangely appealing RICHARD MILLE things.

    2: Then a SEIKO SPACEWALK.

    3: then I'd buy a variety of stuff Ive wanted to try but can't afford, ZENITH, PANERAI, IWC ETC

    That reminds me I haven't checked my numbers from Saturday........

    If you won the lotto .............

    I'd buy a Milsub and have service replacement hands and dial fitted. And a comex to do the same with.

    Then I would take moody shots of them and title it "modern warfare".

    I'd go for the 411 Series 6, which is a concours level rebuild/uprate model.

    I'd buy a ginormous watch, housing an exquisite machinery and having an artsy while rather unclear dial.

    And a Casio G-Shock.

    i am happy with the watches ive got :)

    but i guess a dreadnought,submariner,speedmaster and PO would be welcome as well.

    my first job would be to buy a stack load of motorbikes from a brough superior to a Duke 916 and car wise a Aston martin DB5 :D

    I'd be straight to the local AD to get a submariner, the one with the blue face and bezel and white gold strap!

    Then, who knows? But I know I'd be at the shops again within a few days!!!!!

    We can all dream.......

    Re: If you won the lotto .............

    I'm afraid I'd be quite prosaic in my choices and sort of ashamed to admit what watches it is I drool over

    Rolex Sea Dweller

    Breitling Navitimer

    Omega PO

    Cars, I'd get a:
    1924/1928 Bentley 3/8 special.
    Bugatti type 57.
    Auburn Speedster.
    Coffin nose Cord.
    Duesenberg SSJ.

    All of George Daniels' timepeices that are up for sale this Nov and add to them to eventually obtain all 39 to keep them together and on display somewhere in the UK.

    Re: If you won the lotto .............

    Patek 5980 Nautilus Chrono (black dial) and then flesh out the collection with some vintage Rolexes: Double Red SD and Newman Daytonas.

    As for the car, Ferrari 458. I have driven the 430 and it is the best car i have driven by such a wide margin, and the 458 is meant to be leagues ahead of that. Insane!

    First off would have to be the big euro millions win, then would be the Harry Winston opus 12 , would probably rarely wear it in reality but great to look at and play with, there would also be a nice Patel chrono nautilus and a few more Rolex
