How I Spent $50,000 Buying Watches

If you're going to spend $50,000 on watches, you have two different paths from which to choose. First, you can spend it all on a single powerhouse luxury watch: one watch to rule them all. Second, you can break up the money and assemble a small watch collection. The question is, do you want one watch to wear full time or several watches that serve different purposes. Tonight, Tim Mosso explains how he would spend $50,000 buying watches.
A single monster watch has a certain appeal. For one, most people only wear one watch at a time, so any additional watches beyond just the one are sitting idle. And, with some planning, a single haute horlogerie luxury watch might fulfill all of a watch collector's needs. For that reason, Tim considers the Vacheron Constantin Overseas Self Winding with brown dial.
The third-generation Vacheron Constantin Overseas debuted in 2016, and it was easily the most sophisticated Overseas sports watch ever launched. For the first time, manufacture movements, display casebacks, and Geneva Hallmark decoration were features of the Overseas. The Overseas Self-Winding 4500V/110A-B146 with brown dial was only built from 2016 to early 2018, and it is the rarest version of the watch.
While silver, black, and blue dial variants of the Overseas generation III are common, the brown dial watch is exceptionally scarce. That said, this highly valuable variant has the same features as every Overseas Automatic. The 41mm stainless steel case contains a Vacheron caliber 5100 automatic movement. Its 60-hour power reserve, Geneva Hallmark decoration, and five-position adjustment amount to elite credentials.
The exterior of the VC Overseas is as impressive as the inside. 150-meter water resistance surpasses that of the 120-meter Patek Philippe Nautilus and Aquanaut while Audemars Piguet's Royal Oak trails with only a 50-meter rating. Even the Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph is rated to only 100 meters. For good measure, Vacheron uses paramagnetic metal to protect the Overseas' movement from magnetic fields of up to 25,000 amperes per meter.
If you keep only one watch, it needs to be versatile, and the Overseas Self Winding is extremely versatile. Not only is it tough against the elements, but its elegance imparts tremendous potential in formal attire. As a Vacheron Constantin, the Overseas retains the core graces and elegance of the company's legendary dress watches. An Overseas Automatic always looks good in a suit.
Alternatively, a person could buy several watches with $50,000. Tim explains which watches he would collect from Vacheron, Ball, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Glashutte Original, and Zenith.
All of this plus live discussion and watch collector wrist shots appears tonight on "Watches Tonight!"

I still remember the first few episodes after you sold (almost) your entire JLC collection. It was bitter sweet for me too. I never realized how close we were to losing you from the watch industry. I'm so glad that we have you around.

I'm glad I stuck around. Life is long, and I'll be able to pursue new challenges after watches. For now, I plan to stick around and help grow this company -- wherever that leads. Best, Tim

While it would cost more to recreate my watches today, the 12 watches featured in my April 2023 collector conversation cost me just under $47K total over a 40-year time span. 😎 That being said, two watches were purchased in 1982 and '83 and the other 10 in 2018 to '21.

One of the first episodes of watches tonight, Tim said to keep an eye on thr brown overseas as it will become a collectible. And a few years later, his prediction became reality.

Great show Tim and crew. I would say a 3 watch collection would be choice instead of only one watch. Even though a Patek 5960 would my choice for one watch collection.

Thank you, Abdul! I like the three-watch idea, too. Trade a bit of quantity for quality, but still have some choice based on need and situation. Best, Tim

Tim, brilliant and fun topic for the show as always. And I appreciate how you continue to find pieces off the beaten path (I am now finding that there's a blue dial version of that Zenith Captain...). I'm pretty biased but, Sky Dweller as daily/travel, JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon for dress, and maybe a BP FF for an aquatic sports piece - throw in a Dan Royter if I need a chronograph and were right at $50k 🙂 Cheers!

Hey Tim, thanks for the stream! Do you (or anyone else) have recommendations for someone who has developped a huge crush on GF sports models but can't & very probably will never afford one as well as a small wrist? I'm considering the Armin & Son Nebula 38 or a Trilobe and wondered what else I should look at...I'm not into very concepty thingies/horological machine styles, but nice finishing/some mechanics visible from the front or interesting materials

$50K in one go is probably unlikely for most having a $5-15k limit each purchase . I currently have three watches 1 x dive , 1x chrono ,1 x dress watch and I buy one every few years as funds allow . Looking for a complication: moonphase ( panomaticlunar ) or maybe an alarm ( memovox) next

I’ve been a fan of Tim’s since 2015, and I still can figure why he hasn’t gotten back to the hobby and acquired a few new pieces. Seems like the JLC experience really turned you off, Tim?

At 19:26, the IWC has a year complication. What happens if you accidentally go past the current year? I have heard that the watch cannot be rewound and needs to get a service to fix. Does anybody know for certain what happens?

It's true that the calendar function on the IWC is unidirectional. Watch Tim's How-To episode on perpetual calendars for more info! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5aZ8_P9Ecas.html

As a one watch guy for 32+ years, my GMT Pepsi was perfect. In 2018-19 I added a Speedy Pro and a steel Reverso. The only three I really need. 🥰 If I were to start over and do it again, it would be a steel Sky Dweller, Hodinkee LE Blancpain Fifty Fathoms MilSpec and an ALS Richard Lange ref. 323.032. However, it would be tough to get these three for under $60K USD.

Safe 50k is surely a sub and a day date. Ticks 2 boxes and should hold that value well for if and when you want to mix it up. Boring but practical combo.

Sorry, imo, these JLCs are ugly, hence a discount. JLC is not the strongest value hold brand in general, but some , Kingsman, Reverso, Duometre hold value a bit better than its ugly divers

Such a cheap minded person like you should only buy some crap watch with over hyped price hoping it grows in value so that you can earn extra money while selling it. Grow up kid.

Buying luxury watches with resale in mind is a loser’s game. Buy why you love or don’t buy at all.
