The ONE watch you'll NEVER sell?!

Hi guys,

Is there at least ONE watch in your collection(s) that you will NEVER EVER sell? The one which you've decided you will hold on to forever? Mine would have to be this one. Seriously!!!

My TT DJ, it is the one that started it all. What makes it even more special is that it was given to me.

Mine would be my Omega Speedmaster Series 2.

JJ do you seriously think we believe you have a watch that you'd never sell? I don't think so.

I think we've heard those words from you before JJ and in probably an identical posts, but with a different watch

Well, I've learned to never say never, but out of our collection it would be my wife's PAM 114. It's very special to her as is her DJ. As for me, never say never, but I don't plan on ever selling either my Explorer or my GMT.

JJ, you said that about the TT Blue sub! I remember it going to your bloody grave.

For me, I would like to think the YM, but life is strange and who knows what lies ahead of me and my family. At least for today, the YM, IWC AT and Panerai 88 are all safe.

I wear them all, although some not nearly as much as others. I couldn't part with any of my Rollies. Each has a value to me in its own right.

I don't try to deny or fight it any longer. I get what I like, and wear it till I don't like it anymore.

You know, I just imagine a bunch of the guys on the various watch fora looking like that. Geeky and nerdy, talking about tough dive watches,
