2 Watches for Any Scenario
Hi Everyone,
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on which two time pieces you either own/or would want to own, that in combination can get you through any activity/occasion. My two would be my Rolex Submariner Date and G-Shock. Can't think of any event one of those two couldn't handle. My grail pair would be a Rolex Platona and Breitling Emergency. Thanks for your comments! |

I like the idea of a G-Shock.....but I know I would never wear it.

I need 3, still trying to get to them all..
Zenith Elite Chrongraph - a watch when the sports watch just will not work. Nice dinner with the wife - important presentation at work. Pretty much for when the suit and/or tie go on. Zenith El Primero Striking 10th - sport chronograph. Will handle most things except when gettting dirty. Seiko SRP637K1 Min-Tuna Monster - a $350 watch for when it is time to get dirty or go swimming, hiking, etc. Come on, I know a Rolex Sub can dive to the deep dark depths but I would be a fool to take it with me. This would be my ultimate 3 watch collection. + at some time I will probably add an Apple Watch - just because. Key point - you could source this collection in a smart way and stay under $10,000. That's pretty good. And seriously - 2 watches? If you are on this site you care about watches. Can you get by with just 2 pair of shoes, 2 suits, 2 ties, 2 cars, 2 homes, 2 planes...??? please... |

A Patek perpetual calendar and a stainless steel Rolex Sub.
That should just about get you through any situation. |

If I could only have two, I'd choose my 5990 and my black bay heritage on strap.

This is my pair for any scenario. I gave my 3 Casio G-Shocks, Tissot and other watches to my teenage son. He will get the SubC when he becomes a responsible adult.

Kinda off on a tangent, I'm 90% sure I saw Tom Hanks wear that G-shock in the film, Captain Philips. I happened to catch it on TV.

These aren't necessarily the two from my collection that I'd keep if I only could keep two, but they would cover the spectrum of events or activities from relatively formal to ultra casual/sport. Here are a couple of shots of both of them.

I would vote for an all black Submariner of your choice and a white gold day-date with a face style of your choice, both are understated elegance that have stood the test of time. That said, I do respect the G Shock as a reliable, accurate and durable watch when things get bumpy. Cheers!
PS: My current love though is the 2016 Explorer I which gets almost all my wrist time these days :-) |

I'd feel foolish if I didn't . . .  These two pretty well cover it for me.   The perlon strap looks nice on the 114300 but I prefer the bracelet.

Agree on the Sub and 114300 combo. Thinking of the blue face....

Suunto core is my everyday beater in military uniform and for workouts, 14060m is my weekend/occasional weeknight warrior. The core is a fantastic watch made in Finland with multiple instruments, and so comfortable you forget it's there. I find these two to be the perfect combination. Love em both

If I had to choose only 2 for every occasion :
1. Rolex 16710 gmt Pepsi late serial in unpolished condition. Perhaps modified with subC glide lock bracelet. This watch would be for daily wear. 2. Rolex 116500 , undecided on white or black dial. I am very surprised about this as initially I preferred the white dial by a large margin. This watch would be for the weekend and special occasions. |

On the basis that a metal bracelet watch shouldn't be worn with a Dinner Jacket, the two from my collection to be kept would be the SD and the Reverso. All boxes ticked.
If funds were unlimited, change that for a Royal Oak 15202 and a Payek 5207.
