Someone is willing to buy you any watch you choose. Price is no object.

The catch is that you must give up all the watches you currently own and the new one is the only watch you can ever own thereafter.

Would you do it and if so, what one watch would you choose?

No way. I will keep this Explorer forever!

propedderkustom · 15 October 2009, 01:36 PM

Didn't you post this on the Timezone Rolex forum too??

If money was no object but you could only have one watch, you should probably go with a stainless Daytona. Precious metals don't have the durability of the steel and the 904L is gorgeous and at home in any environment.

A quick "No way" from me to!!! I'm not a one watch man...

Did you get that phrase from my avatar?

Gob Bluth · 15 October 2009, 01:58 PM

I would either keep my Z serial Sea Dweller (as I think this is the one watch I could have forever and never get bored with) or get a Patek Nautilus

NavitimerNut · 15 October 2009, 01:39 PM

JJ's TT GMTII or a DSSD

...

bodybump · 15 October 2009, 01:50 PM

deserted · 15 October 2009, 01:52 PM

Fortunately I already have that watch. If I didn't I would do it for a YG Daytona.

hypothetically, if you lost the watch, would he buy you another one?

Toss Up between Rolex Sea Dweller or JLC MCC

Gerardus · 15 October 2009, 04:53 PM

Yes, i take the YG (old) model DayDate or the new GMTC11 YG.
Probably the GMTC11 YG writing this.......

dkazaz · 15 October 2009, 09:02 PM

In terms of my tastes, I'd be hard pressed to give up my SD, but I might be tempted by a mint condition JLC Memovox Polaris from 1965 or a Blancpain 50 fathoms original (not current).

But the more sensible deal would be to ask for a Patek Philippe Sky Moon Tourbillon, which at over $1m could set you up nicely if you ever had to sell it

Singslinger · 15 October 2009, 09:04 PM

Lange & Sohne's new Zeitwerk, which uses numerals to tell the time. Either that or the Blancpain 50 Fathoms Tourbillion.

R1@160@alltimes · 15 October 2009, 11:32 PM

Mind you, I am never giving up my Sub.

BUT......if I had to make a decision based on the hypothetical question from OP, I'd go with PP's Platinum World Time

presario · 15 October 2009, 08:55 PM

Wow, such a tough call. I'd have to say no. I love variety. I love changing my watches according to my mood.

BarkMaster · 15 October 2009, 10:16 PM

Patek 50023

JoeI · 15 October 2009, 11:50 PM
