Keeper...

It's a difficult question to answer, and my answer can change from week to week. Other watches present a new ownership opportunity that can be easily obtained through a trade...But, as of today, these are my two main watches, both keepers:

I love all my watches but they are all replaceable except my first Breitling. It has too much sentimental value for me to ever let go.

Thats a Beautiful watch, what did you pay for it ? I could have bought one for $4,000 brand new from an AD many years ago.
