In the event that you have to sell all your treasured watches except 3, what 3 watches would you keep? For me it would be my:

1. Blancpain Aqualung


2. my Seiko 6159 7001 300m diver


3. and my Omega Seamaster 300m

 

This is an improvement from the "one watch man" thread!! I like it!! We all work our way to the right number of watches in our current collection!

 

Not gunna happen

Would need
3x beaters
3x vintage
3x modern
3x sentimental (family)

And as someone mentioned lately (MSNWatch?) would even want
3x semi-junk

 

Hahaha right you are sir!

 

I would move to another country that values my right to own more than 3 watches.

 

Let's see......

My beater would be my Pepsi Seiko. That one was easy!

I can't sell my Grandfather's Bulova. Heirlooms must remain heirlooms. I've got the matching lady's watch too.

I can't sell my Breitling Chrono Cockpit as it was a present from my wife and I dig that watch.

I don't want to sell my Omega AT because it's totally cool and there's at least a few years left until I'm bored with it. After going through literally dozens of blue dialed watches, the only other blue dialed watch I might like instead of the AT is the Breguet Marine.

I need a few dress watches to match belts / shoes. One pink/rose gold with a black strap, one yellow gold with a black strap, one white gold or maybe stainless on a black strap, and one yellow gold on a brown strap. So.... 1966 Eterna, 1965 JLC, 1961 Piaget..... wait, but.... but....

Forget it. I need at least a dozen minimum.

 

1-speedy
2-5513
3-patek 3940

 

Of course they would all be Omegas.

Gemini IV
Skyfall
Ploprof 1200

Three I would like to buy
321 Speedy
SM300 co-ax
Speedy Meteorite

 

Defies the laws of logic and self control cannot do

 

Spoken like a true addict

 

sweet je-bus! your head would explode like Total Recall !

 

Exactly, mate. Lol


I'd bet my life you couldn't choose (3) from the same decade. You'd have to be on massive quanties of benzos just to accept the premise...

 

(1) My dads retirement watch.

(2) My wedding watch.

(3) My good luck watch ("the closer").

 

Every answer on TRF:

(1) no date Sub

(2) "tropical" 1016

(3) RG Daytona (OR) 60xx on original 72xx

 

Must keep the '55 Tresor, my grail watch.....

and grandad's '05 Longines, thats a given....

the '48 Ball, too cool to go

thats three but.....

there's the Seiko automatic my parents gave me in '77

and I need both the Hamilton railway watches,

and the Hamilton 922, thats just too pretty

the '00 Waltham Vanguard,

the '14 Waltham CPR Special,

the Seiko diver,

the '42 Elgin combat diver.....

Oh! ......and the Seamaster and the Techron.....

Nope.... can't be done..... who's silly idea was this.... take away all his toys and give him a Timex!

 

Nice keepers I would say.

 

But I'd bleed Universal while selling the rest

 

These are my three
