Must have watches
Hello all
If this has been done before then I apologize in advance but I wanted to get the take of everyone on the boards of watches that are a MUST own in a watch collection. |

Funny you mention the g shock. I am waiting on a G Shock frogman titanium that I bought from a guy in Japan. I agree G Shock for sport all the way. I also think a vintage watch should be a part of everybody's collection I just don't know which one.

In a Rolex collection, you need:
1. A SS sports watch (ie Sub or GMT) 2. Daytona 3. A gold or TT dress watch (ie DJ or DD) |

DSSD would probably be the last watch in my collection I would sell, so I guess it is a "must-have" for me:)

Every Rolexer should own past or present a Submariner or GMT. After that, the daily wearer is subject to the owner's tastes. Also an Omega Speedmaster of any sort should be in the watch box. Moon, reduced, date or otherwise.
