I was thinking about this earlier. Many of us own several watches. But do we all own our favorite? If not, why not?

My favorite watch is actually the Milgauss Z blue. I don’t own one. Why don’t I own it? I seem to keep putting off buying one because I’ve had other acquisitions ahead of the Z blue and the Z blue has been in stock everytime I’ve gone to the AD. Eventually I’ll get one.

the dark knight · 21 April 2018, 09:07 AM

I have 3 equal favorites. Rolex Sub (own).

And Daytona and APRO (don't own either). Reason for not owning the Daytona is scarcity and resulting market price. RO is questions about size/comfort and such. And also price.

torrente · 21 April 2018, 09:30 AM

If I would define favorite as the only watch to have in my life, I would chose the Explorer (I have it) or the DD 36 platinum (not have it)

superstarmar · 21 April 2018, 09:39 AM

The Rolex Bluesy was my favorite watch of all time !!!
I have The 6 digit version . My new Grail is the YG Bluesy one day
but it wasn’t my favorite of all time before.

_speedmaster_ · 21 April 2018, 09:54 AM

My favorite Rolex is the LVc, which I’m lucky enough to have gotten.

Favorite watch of all time, that I’ve seen/tried on in person is probably the FP Journe CB. It’s on my radar and hopefully I can get one in a year or two.

tac34vt · 21 April 2018, 09:54 AM

But if it's your favorite, and it's available, why don't you get it? You prioritize other watches just because they're harder to find right now?

I also would define favorite as if I was told I could only have one watch. The answer is then yes, sub date.

Quailhunter · 21 April 2018, 09:59 AM

My dream watch 40 years ago was a yellow gold DayDate. I’ve been wearing my 2nd one as a daily watch. I own a number of other nice watches, but the “President” is my all time favorite.

WEST HAM ROLEX · 21 April 2018, 10:01 AM

Yes the GMT LN

Wear my Deepsea and Sub No date occasionally

Yes exactly.

Wimpydailo · 21 April 2018, 10:09 AM

Still trying to figure out what my fav is...hopefully I have it already but if not I hope to get it soon

jenedla · 21 April 2018, 10:12 AM

Lange 1 is it for me. I saw that watch years ago and have never shaken the desire to get one. Maybe one day...

WAK4 · 21 April 2018, 10:16 AM

Yes, the SeaDweller

gt0279a · 21 April 2018, 10:17 AM

The more I think about it would be a vintage watch

-5513 Milsub
-Pre-moon cal 321 Speedy
-1680 Red Sub

Jason71 · 21 April 2018, 10:42 AM

I don’t own it yet........but soon

Mad Dog · 21 April 2018, 10:54 AM

Right now it’s my Original JC (I own), but I am hopeful it will be the Blue Sky someday (on waiting list).

kcmo · 21 April 2018, 10:55 AM

Daytona....wear one daily

busytimmy · 21 April 2018, 11:02 AM

Probably a 2499 or Lange 1815 Chronograph- the old version with rose gold case and black dial

jhunter3 · 21 April 2018, 11:11 AM

I'm finding that my 1680 Submariner is becoming my favorite. Just love everything about it.

Houston77 · 21 April 2018, 11:12 AM

DD. No. Maybe someday.

The Argonaut · 21 April 2018, 11:13 AM

A Lange 1 Timezone, and no, I don't own one. I doubt I ever will. Still, a lovely thought.

Furrygoat · 21 April 2018, 11:13 AM

Absolute favorite is very hard.

Patek 5270 or 5970 that I could never afford.

Iwc big pilot perpetual top gun that is wayyy too big.

Those are just off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more.

BobDyl · 21 April 2018, 11:18 AM

Patek 5370P - nope, don't own it. It's important in life to not get everything you desire. Plus, I think it goes for around $250K. Internet photo:

Sjmoore11 · 21 April 2018, 11:19 AM

I do!

DJ TT 2002 · 21 April 2018, 11:27 AM

Yep.
116718

Singslinger · 21 April 2018, 11:30 AM

The black YG Submariner or the Lange & Sohne Datograph.

HogwldFLTR · 21 April 2018, 11:37 AM

Two favorites: 1) Blue Sky D, 2) SDC 116600 and I'm lucky enough to own both.

DHPSU · 21 April 2018, 11:41 AM

BLNR, I own and it’s here to stay. But there are others out there that are calling to me.
