ubiquitous Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Of all the watches in your guys' (and gals') collections, which five could you simply not part with? For me... The El Primero frankenstein twins V23 franken-6265 Modded MBW 1665 And my genuine Omega SM300 (165.024) But then again, I'm quite fond of all the pieces in my collection. To me, they are all keepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJGladeRaider Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hi Ubi, Personally, I'd prefer to have you ask for top three, or top five - picking one is so hard to choose. I'll take the plunge though, and say an MBW DRSD. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shabber Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I know, it's not very topical of me, but you didn't specify it had to be a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovepanerai Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I should get one of those Monster's I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabber Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 RE: Monsters It is a great watch. Totally indestructible. No waterproof concerns. No concerns of it banging on the side of the boat and being damaged. Matter of fact, a bit of wear would make one look even better. Rubber strap is very comfortable and secure. Love having the "day" on the dial. For a couple hundred bucks it is a no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Five? Obvious first choice: Daily Beater: I don't wear it much, but I need to know it's in my box: One of the two following PAMs: ... and a mystery 5th one that's not here yet. Obviously, it's a Rolex diving watch, but which one? ps. If you ask me again next week, you may get a different answer. This is why I need three watch boxes.

crystalcranium Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Exactly!!!!! Fact is, I finally reached saturation point with my watches. I recently sold three reps because I just couldn't wear and appreciate everything I had and I found myself looking at the watch box each morning and picking the same 5 watches, so the garage queens got sold. It didn't break my heart so it was a good decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Difficult one... the titanium Omegas, the Omega GMT, PAM036, maybe the Zenith Rainbow... too many really! A better topic is "which ones are you prepared to be without" in which case possibly the PAM001 and IWC Ingenieur, both of which I've never worn! And probably the genuine Tag Heuer Link Chrono, also never worn! Maybe even the genuine Breitling Superocean which came back from servicing and has never been worn. I must be nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Exactly!!!!! Fact is, I finally reached saturation point with my watches. I recently sold three reps because I just couldn't wear and appreciate everything I had and I found myself looking at the watch box each morning and picking the same 5 watches, so the garage queens got sold. It didn't break my heart so it was a good decision. I have the same principle. I have sold all the watches that I don't wear. My current collection is only 7 watches. I probably end up in the range of 10 watches or so... I don't really have just one favourite. My current collection is a combination of the best reps... and I can't really consider selling any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pix Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Hi, as inaccurate as it is, my favourite is my TAG... (I have "only" 3 in contest for the moment) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 My favorites change everyday: Yin and Yang: the Ubi Daytona (and it works properly) Ziggified Vintage MBW's with proper datewheel: White SD and Red Sub (no pics as they are with Ubi and Ziggy, respectively, awaiting their new datewheels) And finally, franken ti Avenger (not my pic): But that will change.
