Do you have a watch that you'll have 'til you die?
My 16570 Explorer II was a gift from my staff, and I know I'll have it forever.
I haven't figured out yet who gets it after I'm gone. Who else has a watch they will definitely own until they die? |

Great question ... I wonder how many of us felt this way only to go squirrelly over the "next".
Right now I'd say: The Sub because I won it here and it'll always be special because of that. The BLRO, because it's just the perfect SS professional reference to me. (I know I've said this about others before but this time I mean it ). Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk |

It's hard to say, as my tastes tend to vary but I believe that my Speedy Pro will be a permanent keeper.

My 14060 Sub, bought new in 1996. Been all around the world with me. So many memories, good and bad, are attached to it. Put simply, it has become a part of my life, with all its dings and scratches! I will never part with it.

My omega diver for sure. Too many memories and not worth enough to bother to sell.

I thought it was my BLRO 5-digit, but I'm considering selling it if Rolex releases a ceramic bezel Explorer II at Basel World this year. While I really like the BLRO's look, I have no emotional attachment to it. And I'm not a collector by nature. I'm more of a "buy it and wear it" kind of guy.
I'm also thinking of the future value of this GMT from 2000. Prices have done nothing but rise on this model so perhaps putting it aside in a safe would be a smart move. Might be worth a lot more in 10 years or so.

Heirloom. I’ll have this until I’m gone or I pass it on to my kid.

No - I have watches that I intend to keep for awhile (16710, DD40, etc.), but they will be passed onto my kids before I die.
I want to be able to be part of that moment.

The only watches on my never sell list are heirlooms, and gifts from friends. My everyday watch is an Airking 14000, a gift from a Lodge Brother.

My Cartier Roadster XL Chronograph. I talked a lot about this watch but never pulled the trigger. My wife ended up surprising me with it one day...love her for that.

Probably not as I find myself having watch-ADHD and I tend to buy and sell often.
But I hope that I will always have a Sky-Dweller, for me it is the most versatile watch out there |

This one will stay with me. The original version was given to the astronauts in Houston in 1969. I was born in 1969 in Houston. Plus it’s pretty cool and my wife and daughter asked me to never sell it.

Bought this Marine Alarm to commemorate my daughter's birth (and to remind me for feedings, etc).

I think my ceramic ss black submariner or my tt datejust ii, both seem like keepers. Although I'd consider selling to upgrade to a newer model in the future as I like the 6 digit subs better then the 5 digit submariners and who knows what they may improve/change on future models. |
