All of them.

Then they go to an inheritor (and no, it is not YOU!)

Hopefully my Bluesy... It's not set in stone though...

not sure....

I'm not sure and haven't given it much thought, I can see myself wearing them until I get too old to appreciate them or unable to read the dial's,

I do recall a story of two divers, one of which was dying, on his death bed he made his dive buddy promise to lay his Rolex on the seabed of his favorite dive spot, who knows that if in years to come there wont be a thread titled "Found this whilst diving!"

My first dive watch, circa 1978 - 10th birthday in Switzerland where I fell in love with watches...and especially this one. I saw it in the window and asked my parents for it. My dad introduced me to the love of mechanical watches. I was still very surprised to receive it.



Then this one...given to me by my wife on my 50th.

I'm sure I'll eventually buy watches valued at multiples of this one, but I'm not sure I'll end up liking them more:

Mine is this unworn Heuer Camaro. My Dad led sales for Champion and they had a partnership with Heuer in the late 60’s/early 70’s. This came from him and I will never let it go. It started my fascination with watches of all kinds.

I have some I plan to be heirlooms, 2 watches for each of my kids (packaging them evenly of course!) and unless I have a niece or nephew from my side that shows an interest in them I’ll probably liquidate the rest

At least that’s the plan for now

I have 3 watches and will own them all until I die. A Submariner date, a Speedmaster professional and a longines heritage flagship.

Yes, my 16610. My mother gave it to me Christmas 98, and was with my when I got engaged, married, honeymoon, birth of my sons, and some funerals. It will always be with me.

I have a few I don't ever see parting with but the D Blue Deepsea speaks to me on a different level.

SubC, no question.

It was my first Rolex (I also have Daytona, YM and BLNR) and the one that gets by far the most wrist time.

I have lots of watches that I don't think I will sell, but there's only one that I know I won't sell. And it's not even a Rolex...

Oris Artelier 112, Ten Day power reserve. It was a gift from my wife, and it cost as much as a Rolex!

Weird Q unless wishing or have calculated the ETA!. No idea what might come in the future but I appreciate what I own, today.
To offer a less facetious response. I guess something timeless in style. Suggesting the hot model of today is perhaps a little shortsighted.

My late fathers Rado Jubilee.
Omega Seamaster 1164 - received as a wedding present from my uncles.
My future Submariner

In honesty I have a list of watches that I will (want to) buy in the future, I will never sell them but pass them on.

Do you have a watch that you'll have 'til you die?

The two watches that I want to keep are already passed down to my 2 sons.

My EXII went to my youngest son Guido:



My AK went to my oldest son Sergio:
