If you could only keep one watch, which would it be?

Recommended Posts

Just for fun, imagine you were going to have to wear one watch from your collection for, oh I don't know, say a whole year. Which would it be, and why? Pics too for preference :)

 

For me, I'd keep the Sea Dweller because I love the way it looks and it has some practical use too: I use the bezel to time eggs and such like rather than dives, but still useful. Since we're just having fun, I'm pretending this one is water resistant too. It isn't of course, but if I was to wear it for ever more I would get that sorted. I get frustrated when I wear a watch without a date too, so for me that's a long term essential.

 

At least that's what I say today. No doubt next week it would be different...

Always a good question in that it refocuses a collector on what he or she values most in their watches.

 

I would have to say the WM9 Sub, for most of the same reasons you have for choosing your SeaDweller.

This one can be taken swimming and also looks good with a suit. I think they work in any environment.

This would be my choice: Rolex GMT-Master Vintage with a flat gen. crystal (fixed by Rolexaddict )

Just to balance out the Roliies (although I'll admit I like my DSSD a lot), guess which one I'd be wearing for that year... ;) (yes, I know I'm predictable :beer2:)

Very good showing by Rolex there and I'm loving all those. The GMT looks great on the Jubilee bracelet and I'm starting to think that one of everything WM9 does would be ideal, that Sub is superb. Still coming around to the Deep Sea, but I expect to get there in time. No surprise with Greg's choice!

 

Having started this thread it had to be the SD on the wrist today of course :bitch:

If I had to wear one for a year it would be Sea Dweller (gen insert and pearl :bitch: )

No pics as I haven't got time to find any and I also haven't got any myself :lol: lol, but I'd have a SS B&R BR01-92 - dress it up, dress it down, looks nice and chunky and makes a statement but doesn't shout "look at me, I'm rich" :)

 

This may change when my WM9 SD arrives but that will be a while yet... lol
