Come on then people. 

If you had to pick three pieces that would be the only watches you could ever own, what would they be and why?

My picks (if we're talking reps)

1. Pam 243, coz of it's wrist presence (yet not too oversized like some of the 47mm models can be for some wrists), build quality, versatility, can be worn with so many different straps. Can't say enough

2. Not even a big Rolie fan but an SD43. Goes with everything from casual to formal in today's world.

3. Has to be some sort of a Chrono but I'd go with the Pam 213 purely coz it's one of the rarest and possibly only working Rattrapante's in the rep world (wish I could get one)

Ok I'll play....

If we're talking reps mine would be:

1. Franken DJ 16220

2. Highly modded JKF 1665 Gt White

3. GF Factory Avenger ii GMT (Blue dial)

That'd be me set for all occasions and summer fun.

Nice, definitely agree with versatility of a Pam. Different three if gen/perfect comes existed?

the 3 gens I’d keep 

Polar Explorer 

Speedmaster pro 

Gold Daydate Oysterquartz 

That would cover, a tool watch,  a daily watch and a dress watch.

There's no such thing... perfect three would get sold and replaced by others.

But I have come to a few conclusions. I like divers, I love PAM submersibles, i love white dial watches but never wear them, blue dials rock. Rotate, sell, buy, repeat.

That would leave you watchless! Fictitious rules are they are the only three you can ever own. Unless you're selling the gen and replacing with clones for the cash haha

Which one? The 9300 variant landed like cold sick with the Speedy types...hence why it became a range of LE's and ceramic models...I am glad I got in on the classic speedy colours

I can’t remember where I grabbed this screenshot, maybe from watch Erik (YouTube) 

This sums up the flavour of 2023 so far for me.

28-DF4-DDD-F577-45-BD-A039-1-B1348-E640-

 

Last year I would have said 

Speedmaster - chrono

Peter Blake seamaster - diver

40mm explorer II black dial - GMT

2021 I would have said 

Speedmaster - chrono
39mm explorer - dressier

Pumpkin planet ocean 42mm for a diver
