Inspired by a recent thread I wonder what options people would come up with for an ideal three watch collection. But not just any old collection, there are some rules...

The Rules.

Movement. At least one manual and at least one automatic. Free choice for third.

Style. At least one tool watch. At least one dress watch (to be clear, a Rolex Oyster would be OK, an Explorer wouldn't) Free choice for third.

Dial. At least one with black dial. At least one with non-black dial. Free choice for third.

Strap. At least one on a bracelet. At least one on leather. Free choice for third.

Origin. At least one Swiss made. At least one non-Swiss made. Free choice for third.

Provenance. At least one bought new. At least one with sentimental value, either inherited, gifted, purchased for a special occasion, or with a special person. Free choice for third.

You can include watches you currently have but you can only have three. Choose wisely...
