Which one do you consider your "KEEPER"..?
Hey everyone


I just thought to myself how many watches I have bought and sold in the last 2 and 1/2 years and its scary.. In all I've owned 7 Breitlings, 2 Rolexes, 1 Omega.. All have gone apart from one Breitling..


I know I know, stupid!!.. However I have learned my lesson and am now concentrating on KEEPERS!!!


Which ONE watch in your collection do you consider a keeper? Even if ALL are keepers, narrow it to just ONE!!


For me, I don't yet own my keeper, but soon as I bag one, I'll let you know!!


Post them up.... PICSSS!!! not just the name of the watch..!

I have a number of them with no plans of ever getting rid of them. However since I don't want to risk making Dino mad. I would say my first one would never go anywhere.

Haha will they justify it for a 21st ? Yeah, I think you have discovered the perils of flipping. Hopefully having a grail will make it less likely to happen again I'm worried when I get a full time job I'm going to spend it all on watches, it's so tempting !
