My brother sent me a picture from a former work colleague (22 yr old lawyer making max $50k US p/a). The kid is very well off, family owns/owned a major retailer and he inherited quite a bit of money.

My brother showed me a pic of his collection, given he knows I’m into watches. The kid has pretty much bought every hype watch going:

Patek Nautilus 5711 AP Royal Oak White face ceramic Daytona Batman Sub date Hulk Datejust JLC MUT moon IWC Portuguese Panerai Omega Aquaterra Omega Seamaster 300m.

Guessing it would cost you $250k (us) to purchase.

These are all, within reason, the ‘hot’ desirable watches to own. If you put together a list of the top ten most sought after, he’d have the majority them.

It says a lot about his collection. I feel the guy is collecting to impress others and it appears passionless.

I was thinking, if he had true interest and spent the money he did spend, it wouldn’t be just hype.

The question is, $250k (us) budget… what would you buy?

    I once met a rich guy in his 30’s, he was wearing a royal oak chronograph and I was wearing a Timex lol, so we struck conversation about watches, he told me he bought based on his jeweler recommendations, basically hot watches that were good investments too, that might be the case here.
