Whats your favourite watch of all time thread

If you could have one watch only, your absolute favourite, what would it be?

I'll start!

Even on a Rolex Forum, if its one watch for life it would have to be a Patek (for me).

Tough question, but I’d probably go with a Submariner of some sort.

I think the BLNR is the GOAT. As long as I own multiple watches I don't know if I'd say it's my favorite. But if you said I could only own one forever it would undoubtedly be a BLNR. Especially if you allow for bracelet swaps. Looks amazing on Jubilee, PCL, Brushed Oyster and a variety of rubber.

Daytona 116520 white dial. It is my favourite watch but doubt I'd ever actually buy one since I need a date function in order to function. But I just love it.

I have my number 1 (124060) and number 3 (datejust blue), waiting for my number 2 (white Daytona ceramic) and 4 (GMT BLNR). I think they are the only ones I like. Maybe a full gold sub or day date, but not enough to buy.

Split tie for the Pepsi & Hulk. There isn't a better GMT, nor sub, ever produced.

116618 LN. This is my favorite watch of all time and will be the last watch I part with when I leave this world. Bought it with my youngest son and it’s going to him when I’m gone.

For me....

One of these two.



I think I nailed it with this tiny collection.

When I wear my sub I feel like I don’t need the speedy because the sub is such a great watch.

When I wear the speedy, I wonder why I event spent so much money on the sub

Big Crown Sub is my all time favorite BUT I think my SubC Date would be my one watch for life pick. The newer Subs are so robust and accurate.
