The Best Watch In Your Collection


ubiquitous

Recommended Posts

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 :)

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.

Five?

Obvious first choice:

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? :D

ps. If you ask me again next week, you may get a different answer. This is why I need three watch boxes.

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.

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 :black_eye:

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.

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. :lol:
