I’d wear no watch at all before I wore this everyday the rest of my life. Purely because I value comfort.

Don’t get me wrong I’d love to own one in rotation!

This was supposed to be my "one and only" watch for the rest of my life.

Then I started reading this forum.....

edited to add: This would be my one watch.

If you’re not between holes, you can wear this watch all day.

Its the watch that works in the ocean in the morning, garage fixing the car in the afternoon, and to ball room in the evening, and I can hand it off to my kid when my time is up and the process continue.

Tough call just one watch.
Part of me says the Patek 5270 but I need something that can take a beating.
Part of me says my DD 40 YG but if only one watch I want something more discreet.
It would either be my SD4K, a WG GMT Meteorite or a WG DD40

This would be my one and only. Should finally have in my hands early 2024, been chasing forever. Perfect metal. Perfect size. Perfect dial. No one does WG like AP.

If I had to have only one watch it would be one I don’t currently own. I do own one of its siblings, but would choose this model if I could only have 1 watch:

As boring as it is, I'd opt for a 39mm white dial Rolex Oyster Perpetual, which would work fine with a suit or shorts and a t-shirt and everything in-between. It's high-quality, bulletproof, and you can take it swimming. I'm just thankful I don't have to settle for just one watch.

I can live with this for the rest of my life too. This watch effectively has 2 beautiful sides, front and back.

I feel like this bracelet configuration needs some love from the group.

If you can only have 1 watch for the rest of your life what would it be?

Really hard choice.

It'd be either one of these for me.
