If I would be living a normal business life, like now: a handwound, time only with small seconds, at 38mm, platinum. Probably a Traditionnelle that is. Alternatively, a 38mm FPJ Octa Réserve de Marche, to be different. If I would be living a more entrepre... 

They're great choices!

That's tough....

I really don\'t know which one!

Why do you suppose I referred to it . . .

. . . as 'devilish'? Darn right it's gonna be hard!

Cruel and unusual! [nt]

Didn\'t even need to think about it. But then I likely have a much smaller collection than most of you purists.

Probably Rolex Daytona, ceramic bezel

or Submariner or even Yacht-Master. Anyhow, a steel case. Reliability, easy repairs & service, accuracy and water proof case. As one watch collection hard to beat. Best, Kari

The problem I have is

I leave my watch in my bag when I box! Something valuable left in a bag is not a good idea, so I\'m inclined to go for my SRP777. Perhaps a better question would be \'one luxury watch\' as opposed to only one watch at all.

Hence The Contest

A fun way to find out what PuristS will pick and to find out if they made the right choice.... I think it will be educational. To the contestants and spectators. So this WS will be a very nice warm up although being different in the fact that now we will ... 

I'll be taking the weekend off.

I can wear one watch for a month. But one watch forever? No-can-do.

To answer the question today, it would be my DB 12,

received from a great watch Buddy and always brings a smile to my face when I put it on. The watch itself is incredibly accurate and the look is simply classic. I really would prefer a top 5 question for one of the next WristScan's, just too many memories...  

It would be very hard!

But for an all purpose watch, that would exclude all my dress watches. The most qualified would be my Sub. Boring choice I know, but logical! The Sub would be acceptable for work , and perfect for weekends as a tool watch. I recently took it out for a cyc...  

Only one watch??

nooooooo! No wonder this theme is less popular lol as it is probably the toughest question for us to answer ! After pondering for days and days... here's my answer. Classic, elegant and robust enough to swim with. Can pair with leather strap and a suit as...  

Vladimir Horowitz, acknowledged as the greatest pianist of the last century . . .

. . . (except for Art Tatum!) ate filet of sole and asparagus for supper daily, reportedly for decades. Living with just one watch shouldn't be as difficult as it seems ;-) . . .

Tough one... but..

.... it would boil down to this one. It was the grail for me when I started this journey and took me a long time to eventually own it. Happy to pass it down to the next generation... Cheers ! ...
