The Best Watch In Your Collection

[AMK000]

My favorites change everyday:

Yin and Yang:

The white panda is beautifull ..... but the subdial hands ..... do not reset properly.

Seriously now ..... I love the white panda. sooner or later I will get one.

Yin and Yang:

Definately Ying Yang.. I HATE the black one (the silver subdials are ugly for me) and I LOVE the white dial (love here the contrast)...

[crystalcranium]

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.

Are those loose subdial hands floating around under the crystal on Yang?????

My favorite? The next one to arrive!

[swdivad]

Well I have several... I love them all differently, for different reasons, on different days...

I just can't get enough of your PVD 196. I like it better than your gen 89 actually!!! Let me know when you get tired of it.

[WatchDude]

I have 3 watches at the moment...

I will definately won;t let go of my gen Pam 112H and my franken 22 destro... Not so sure about the 003

The 112 is going to be my next gen purchase & I LOVE that 003.

For me, the 113 I recieved yesterday.....

.....005.....

.....and my 16710 gen.

Having gone through several rounds of acquisitions and paring down, here is the one watch that I cannot and will not do without.

My eta 2893 Explorer II. It has a bunch of flaws, but I love the watch and the movement.

The other one I won't give up was given to me by a member of this forum. The infamous Triple Red Sub. Not at all accurate, but I cherish the story around it and will use it as a prop to tell the story to my daughters about the first woman park ranger in the U.S. National Parks.

Thanks Nanuq!

... and a mystery 5th one that's not here yet. Obviously, it's a Rolex diving watch, but which one?

Yeah, you know by now. It's this one:

[eddhead]

.. i know which of TJGladeRaider 's is my favorite...

[Bigdoggy]

Hard to decide between these two - The MBW on the left gets the most wrist time.

[deltatahoe]

hmm....

if i were to narrow it down to five, it would be:

i) pam 112h

ii) pam 183h

iii) pam 187

iv) breitling chronomat evolution

v) rolex submariner

After giving it a second thought... from all of my reps I would probably choose the Seamaster Chrono. I love the standard Bond too, but the chrono version is kinda "best of both worlds". Outstanding rep and I really, really like wearing this watch.

[Jetsons]

Out of my clone collection, I would have a very difficult time parting with this trio:

MBW 1665 with some good parts installed

TW Best 16710 with a delicious 2893-2

An old friend, TW Best 16610

[flavor flav]

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

randy, does that mean you may part with the omega 913 edition watch?? i miss it!

[flavor flav]

gen SMP

gen GMT

Thanks, Flav! I just need to figure out how to do it again.

Beautiful Omega collection.

[robertk]

I have too many that are "must" keep. Including Omega seamaster chrono, IWC ingenieur chrono, Several Pams, a Gen Tudor sub, a rep tudor, James Bond rollie sub, A couple of IWC's, some Breitlings............let me see, what did I leave out??

You asked for ONE???

[AMK000]

Too much genuine ..... do you want to be deported from this board ... eh...   

BTW , that gen GMT is a killer watch.

[Watchmeister]

I agree with Nanuq. That changes every week. For me it is never gens. I don't own any priceless antiques just easily repaceable ones. This week's favorite:

In truth they never actually produced the gen beyond prototype and after many mods (recasing, finepics datewheel, dulling of dial and subdials) it is my favorite of any PAM Daylight - gens included. IMHO, they were idiots not to actually produce the Pandas. the next gen 250 and 251 are not any or particularly different from their predecssors. OOh, markers insteq(swoon).

[Watchmeister]

And wait until the white version is finished. It will be even better.

Well.. you know I love the white.. not so fond of the black though.. not a fan of the contrast silver subdials

[HauteHippie]

My 196 with palp crown, superlumed dial and hands, professional AR (soon), and hopefully someday a Finepics datewheel (when he does another run for his 7753 187?) is my favorite. If I sold off all my reps and bought a gen, I would get a PAM 196.

My best rep is probably my franken 16610 submariner: TW Best Classic with centered drilled lug holes, deep cylindrical rehaut, Noobmariner dial with superlume, Noobmariner datewheel, Noobmariner bracelet, Noobmariner caseback, genuine bezel insert from proper time period, genuine crown and tube, reshaped CGs, superlumed Tudor hands (soon to be replaced), and serviced and regulated 2836. Yet, somehow, I could live without it. Go figure.
