What is the crown jewel of your collection?

[Babalaas]

As the title states, what is the crown jewel of your collection? To clarify, this is not the most emotional / sentimental watch for you (I.e a relatives’ watch that was passed down to you), but the one, when you stare at your wrists gets you to say “Holy s*it”, I actually have this”…the watch that’s the testament to your hard work and the journey.

Mine is my 126710 BLRO. Loved it when it released in 2018 before the current hype cycle. See it on the wrist till date and think, at least in that moment, all is right with the world.

Not a Rolex, but fits that description best.

It was my Black dial Daytona. But the tide has shifted. And it’s this. Quintessential Rolex.

I don't know about "crown jewel", because I'm not even sure if it's my most valuable watch, but to me it's my most treasured watch.

Sometimes I look at the gradient green dial involuntarily and give thanks

The 321 lemania movement is so sweet

At this moment in time, my Pepsi.. But "on the list" or whatever that means for a new 126500LN either dial and my AD has always delivered so it may change very soon...

Now that is a hell of a watch

For me, its my TT YG Skydweller with the gold dial. My only TT and also love that I never see them elsewhere.

Im not an Omega guy but that’s a sweet watch! The display case is super cool.

It’s hard for me to choose, my Snowflake is in uncommon condition but this 1989 UAE Armed Forces Datejust is the rarest I own.

Amazing reference you have there ... what's the story behind it?

Yes, it is. Great picture.

I just spent about 5 minutes looking at my watches and for the life of me I can't boil it down to just one watch. Do I go with my TT Daytona which I put on an OF style strap? It's so iconic. But then what about my Speedy? So much history behind this watch and just brings a smile to my face whenever I wear it. But I can't leave out my new GMT. First one my AD received and they haven't received another one since. It too just makes me smile whenever it is on my wrist. And I can't leave out my bluesy. My god it looks great on the blue strap. Just love this one at the beach. And finally, my Breitling Navitimer has the most beautiful dial I have ever seen or own. OMG it just screams at me whenever I wear it.

I guess I'm pretty lucky to have more than one watch that just makes me feel like "holy s*it", how lucky am I to actually own this watch.
