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

Michael1968 · 15 November 2023, 11:30 PM

It will be my Ulysse Nardin Diver

Ichiran · 15 November 2023, 11:34 PM

I don't own it but the Series 5 would be my 1 watch for the rest of my life. While it doesn't have the best finishing, the dial is interesting enough to last my interest for a life time.

d33nastyle · 15 November 2023, 11:48 PM

Modern daytona 116520 Black dial or 116500 White

FrugalGreubel · 15 November 2023, 11:56 PM

Damn this is a tough question. My initial answer is the De Bethune DB25 Starry Varius Aérolite. Sadly I don’t own it.

GB-man · 16 November 2023, 12:15 AM

Probably back to where I started with a navitimer. Close race with my journe ars2.

my 5164a travel time

Speedy Pro

I have a couple of really nice watches (to me anyway). But if something went down and I could only have one, it would probably be a Sub Date variant - probably my 126619LB or 116610LN. Either could go a lifetime.

RaZCaL · 16 November 2023, 01:03 AM

Vacheron Overseas 4500v for its versatility.

If were to give up all my watches except for one, i would keep my PN 6241 Daytona.

Oh damn that is nice. I would be happy to just be able to handle one in person. I can’t even imagine owning one.

seadubs · 16 November 2023, 02:14 AM

Id say close race btw 5711 1r and rm 67-02 ogier...

I would really have difficulties choosing between S1 and S5 if I have the chance...

PhilLynott · 16 November 2023, 02:30 AM

If it's one I currently own would definitely be one of my Marine big dates probably this blue version:

If can be any watch may go with the Vacheron ultra thin perpetual calendar skeleton. This one (picture from Vacheron's Website)

Pw92676 · 16 November 2023, 02:39 AM

For personal reasons I’d go either Daytona 116500 black or 5270J

ap1 · 16 November 2023, 02:43 AM

116500 white

stockae92 · 16 November 2023, 04:21 AM

I hate to say it, but my "only-watch" would be No Date Sub 14060M or the current 41mm.

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.

brandrea · 16 November 2023, 04:23 AM

It’d probably be a trusty Submariner

I love this Breguet. It would be my second choice

this is 3 watches in 1 with the interchangeable straps. awesome choice.

travisb · 16 November 2023, 06:32 AM

Probably a Sub or an AP Jumbo.

JettyOne · 16 November 2023, 07:04 AM

I’ll be buried with this.

So tough to pick just one. But as a watch that can do casual and dress, with the benefit of some useful WR for pool duty if required, this can pretty much do it all.

(I still would like a SS Rolex or two, though!)

alllexandru · 16 November 2023, 07:20 AM

Good topic but unfortunately we are cursed, there will be no one watch only, you know and I know

Because even we would have all the money in the world to buy that watch, after some time we would want the next precious one, that one the only one and then there will be another only and best one ….

BTW nice photos

hgg43c · 16 November 2023, 07:55 AM

dream watch vs gada - not possible for me to make that call

walds11 · 16 November 2023, 09:34 AM

SubC Date 116610.
