This - for me it would be a Seiko 200 pepsi looking thing that my wife bought me, still keeps great time by the way and is on a cool shark mesh bracelet.

My first serious watch: a Rolex 16610 Submariner Date. It probably gets the least amount of love in my current collection but I can never sell it. It was a gift for my medical school graduation promised to me when I was 7 years old and told my parents I wanted to be a doctor.

Definitely wouldn't sell my TT Daytona. It was the very first Rolex I've ever bought after starting my career :]

I'd probably sell all mine if the price was right. It's the wife's ones that are keepers, apparently.

I would keep my white dial ExpII 216570. If it really came down to it and I needed to, of course I would sell it, but I hope I never find myself in that position where I need to do that.

I used to say that to myself...but, I've stopped saying it...I've sold too many which were "keepers"! When it come to watches, I make no commitments any more.
