Hypothetical Question: One Watch “Collection”
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-10:14
Hello Everyone, hope all is fine. Here’s a question: If you could only have one watch to keep, what would it be? It doesn’t have to be a watch in your collection currently. Aspirations are more than welcome as they drive the hobby. I pondered hard and sur...

Excellent and Excellence

I can definitely feel it can be an only watch. And a very regal daily watch it is. Nice!
Thank you!
By: andrea~ : November 11th, 2022-10:50
It does the job of an everyday watch really well

Ok, if I had two guns on my head, and that I was forced to choose... Then... I would choose the guns. ))) More seriously, I think this one: There is something very romantic to end with the watch which started all, in my love for watches... ...
I thought u would pick that

Excellent choice. They don’t make them like this anymore. So elegant, and charming.
I've thought about this before
By: Arronax : November 11th, 2022-10:50
For me it would have to be a dive watch, not only for water resistance but also for lume and the bezel as a 60min timer and to take daily abuse. In the current state of my collection it would be a hard choice between my pam25 or my searambler.
PAM25 is..

The beauty and the Beast at the same time. It is an excellent choice my friend.
Easily and without question this...
By: BigFatPauli : November 11th, 2022-10:59
I can dress it up or down, it looks good on a leather, rubber or bracelet. It is water resistant enough. There really just isn't something it can't do! I've had mine since 2003 or 2004 and it is still, by far, my most worn watch.I absolutely love it. ...
100%, super!
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-11:16
This one steals my heart too. I believe, it could be my only watch too. Wonderful!
Very intellectual and mezmerising
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-11:20
Love it. I had the privilege to handle this piece only once at the AD. It costed a bomb but I couldn’t put it down. It is the most Breguet of Breguets in my mind.
So complicated yet so simple
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-11:21
It is hard to fit both criteria in and succeed. This is the superlative.
Voila 🙏

Could have a whole town made to match the dial on his watch? Or was that the other way around

Excellent choice
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-12:46
If I have that, it could also be an only watch piece. I will be contented and smile whenever I look at it.
Excellent choice
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-12:46
Good question. I think, for me, a rose gold Seamaster trilogy piece, if it exists. Or a SM300 heritage in gold, with a black dial, if it exists, with a rubber strap. Ooo that will be my end-all piece. This piece I got recently kinda fits the spec too. If ...
Nice choice!

Rolex is on a roll
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-12:48
Indeed, perfect one watch. I miss my old kermit. It’s traded away and it could have been my only piece. Oddly, I just thought of an analogy. A good wife/girlfriend is only appreciated when they are gone, and one looks back to realize how good they were. W...
Well said!

By: JLCman : November 12th, 2022-11:16
For me no Rolex, no Omega, even no Patek or VC. Just my Grand Seiko Snowflake. What a luck that I must not decide for a one-watch-collection ;-))
Excellent choice Ted
By: Cookies : November 11th, 2022-12:49
Gold is beautiful, rare and regal. I love Gold.
It’s not easy to answer such a question.
By: ChristianDK : November 11th, 2022-13:14
What would be the criteria for making the decision? The watch I love the most? My grail? …but does it have to be practical for most situations? Versatile? Robust? These criteria can bring conflicting answers. A compromise between these criteria may also n...
Wow this is a wonder

I love FPJ. Handled a few and it was a privilege to do so. Wow!
I can easily see going with a watch that can do it all..
By: Echi : November 11th, 2022-13:39
But then the options will tend to be too practical such that the choice becomes an appliance more than a source of joy. In my mind, I initially blurted out Sub! But then I say to myself, that would be like giving up on life, ain’t it? So I go for the watc...
Ooo the red reverso

The one that got away…I admire this piece
Elegant and sporty

I must go see this piece in real life.
Allow a second watch and it will be thousand times easier ...
By: als1678 : November 11th, 2022-14:32
How does one find one piece which is beautiful, versatile, classic? No wonder so many chose Rolex! For me it will be a watch that I don't yet own, probably not even in by top 5 of the wish list given my current collection. But if we are talking about one ...
Crazy!

One watch

It should come with bracelet, screw down crown and caseback, has date (just in case i need it), good legibility, and comfortable (not to thick or wide). And has lume even if it minimal. So this one (or if IWC are not stupid , the new incoming Ingenieur) :...
Patek 89. I know it's beyond (Pie In The Sky...)
By: Kurt Behm : November 11th, 2022-16:01
But I would gladly have all of my trouser pockets altered to carry this treasure. I'd also need two bodyguards to make sure it stayed on watch would cause me to give up wristwatches forever. Oh well, at least I can dream. Great weekends Kurt ...
Is that the Grave’s piece

Rumour had it H.Graves found it to be a bad luck charm. Something about a drowning incident.
I don’t believe so…

Only one from my collection? . . .
By: Dr No : November 11th, 2022-18:06
. . . Black Connie. Impractical, but then, neither is true love. 😌 From all the watches in the world? Maybe this: PP ref 3939. Tourbillon. Steel, one of one. 33.3 mm. I even had it on my wrist once. ...
Hello dear Cookies! I thought I wouldn’t be able to answer …
By: Subexplorer : November 12th, 2022-04:00

Indeed

This is the marvel.
This will be quite impossible.
By: S F : November 12th, 2022-06:00
In that situation, I will just give it all up and be done with it altogether 😂 If it is a condition that i must keep one watch then it will be the evergreen 1675 GMTM gilt. ...
Perfection!
By: Cookies : November 12th, 2022-06:26
It can also be my only watch. Perfect!
Rolex ref. 1018.
By: mkvc : November 12th, 2022-07:05
For me it must be waterproof, extremely versatile, lightweight and unostentatious. Ironically, I have two 1018s and I don't wear them frequently because most of the time I don't need a waterproof watch and when I need a waterproof watch I tend to wear som...
Thanks, wears nicely…

I respect that watch. It is solid and well made
This is such a tough question.
By: singingbee : December 13th, 2022-10:27
If possible, I would love to have a two watches collection instead. And they will be these two. If it is compulsory that I can only keep one, it will be the Daytona as I think as an overall package, it will be a perfect one watch collection. ...
Stunning choices
By: Cookies : December 13th, 2022-12:39
I like the Lange. It looks great on you. The Daytona I respect. It is a very elegant chronograph. The thin-ness is spot on.
